Configuring the BIOS

Your system's Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) records basic system operating parameters,
such as the boot sequence, hard drive settings, and the type of video display. The system's
operating parameters are set in the BIOS before shipment, and you should not need to
change them immediately. However, you may want to configure some aspects of system
operation later by changing BIOS settings.
The BIOS is stored in flash Erasable-Programmable Memory (EPROM) on the system board,
and reads the system parameters in the system's Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS) Random-Access Memory (RAM). When you turn off power to the
system, a battery provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains the system parameters.
Each time you turn on system power, the BIOS uses the stored parameters to configure the
system.
To run the BIOS Setup program:
1. Restart the system.
2. When the BIOS version displays on the screen:
On a TD-22 or TD-25, press

The System Board Manual provides detailed information on the BIOS, including instructions
for running the BIOS Setup program to change BIOS parameter settings, and a list of
available BIOS parameters and their default settings.

SCSI System BIOS

On a system equipped with a SCSI adapter and internal SCSI hard disk drives, the BIOS is
configured to boot from and use the SCSI disk drives. If you update the BIOS or reset the
BIOS configuration, make sure the appropriate BIOS parameters are set correctly for a SCSI
system.
