Setup Utility

This chapter provides information about the system BIOS and tells how to configure the
system by changing the settings of the BIOS parameters.
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. You do not need
to run Setup when starting the computer unless you receive a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile
memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
Note: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case,
the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for
assistance.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots
immediately after you exit Setup.
To enter Setup, simultaneously press Ctrl+Alt+Esc.
Note: You must press Ctrl+Alt+Esc while the system is booting. This key
combination does not work during any other time.
