The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system
(BIOS). You can use this program to configure serial port assignments, change
interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup sequence, set the date
and time, set passwords, and set the chassis-intrusion detector. For more
information about using this utility program, see "Starting the Configuration/Setup
Utility program" on page 16.
The Boot Menu program is part of the BIOS. Use it to temporarily assign a
device to be first in the startup sequence, Override the startup sequence that is
set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program and for information about how to

The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS. You
can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize
where the network startup option occurs in the startup sequence. Enable and
disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent from the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information, see "Enabling the Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent" on page 16.
