Running SETUP and Installing Drivers
If you reconfigure your system or add options, you must use a
configuration program called SETUP, which is contained
within your system's BIOS. SETUP lets you change the settings
for your hardware configuration, security options, and
power-saving features. The configuration information you
enter is stored in the computer's ROM (read-only memory) and
is backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you turn off
or reset your computer.
If you are using Windows 3.1 and need to reconfigure your
hard disk drive, you may also need to install video and PCI
IDE drivers.
This chapter describes the following SETUP and driver
installation procedures:
Starting the SETUP program
Setting standard options
