BIOS Utility

The BIOS Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer's BIOS
(basic input/output system).
To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST. The BIOS setup utility displays
summary information on your computer, its devices, processor and memory.
Your computer is already configured for optimal performance, and so you should not
need to run this utility. However, you may need to change the BIOS settings if you
encounter configuration problems in the future. Refer to "Troubleshooting" if a
problem arises.
