Chapter 5: BIOS Utilities

Overview

This chapter is about the computer's built-in software.
Your computer comes with built-in BIOS (Basic Input Output System)
which is an essential set of software routines stored on a chip in your comput-
er. These routines serve to describe your computer's hardware to your chosen
operating system, and provides an interface between the two. The BIOS in-
cludes the POST (Power On Self Test) and the SCU (System Configuration
Utility). The POST performs diagnostic procedures at startup, the SCU al-
lows you to configure your computer.
There is one general rule: Don't make any changes unless you are sure of
what you are doing. Many of the settings are required by the system, and
changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any
doubts, consult your service representative.
If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes
to the system, then you should review this chapter first and note the original
settings found in the SCU. Even if you are a beginner, keep a record of the
settings you find and any changes you make. This information could be useful
if your system ever needs servicing.
