CMOS Setup Utility
CMOS setup is a hardware configuration program built into the system ROM, called the complementary metal-
oxide semiconductor (CMOS) Setup Utility. Since most systems are already properly configured and
optimized, there is no need to run this utility. You will need to run this utility under the following conditions.
•
When changing the system configuration settings
•
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
•
When modifying the power management configuration
•
When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup
•
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted ("Run Setup" message) to
make changes to the CMOS setup
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system can
not retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance.
CMOS setup loads the configuration values in a battery-backed non-volatile memory called CMOS RAM. This
memory area is not part of the system RAM which allows configuration data to be retained when power is
turned off.
Before you run the CMOS Setup Utility, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots
immediately after you close the Setup.
NOTE: CMOS Setup Utility will be simply referred to as "BIOS", "Setup", or "Setup utility" in this guide. The
screenshots used in this guide display default system values. These values may not be the same as
those found in your system.
Entering CMOS Setup
1.
Turn on the computer and the monitor.
If the computer is already turned on, close all open applications, then restart the computer.
2.
During POST, press Delete.
If you fail to press Delete before POST is completed, you will need to restart the computer.
The Setup Main menu will be displayed showing the Setup's menu bar. Use the left and right arrow keys
to move between selections on the menu bar.
