SETUP UTILITY
The Setup utility is a ROM-based program. It is functional when enabled (factory default).
Setup automatically detects current system parameters during the power-on self-test
(POST), described in the previous section. It also provides the following functions:
sets date and time
signals any hardware discrepancies during POST via error messages
verifies that any optional memory that you installed was installed correctly
integrates security features.
Setup also includes security features that protect your system from unauthorized use.

With an Error at POST
You will need to use the Setup utility if the system detects an error during POST, it

ror message that appears above the prompt, and press F2. After you press F2, the system
displays the Setup Main menu.
