Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those features that
are provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is
associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. These parameters
can be changed if the user has adequate security rights. If a value cannot be changed for
any reason, the feature's value field is inaccessible.
