components of the system.
The system ships from the factory with the correct system parameters for the configuration.
Unless optional hardware is added, it's not necessary to run the BIOS Setup Utility to operate
the system. However, the Setup Utility should be run to set features that customize the system,
such as security features.
NECC recommends that the current BIOS Setup parameters be printed out or written down and
the information stored in a safe place. This lets you restore the system to the current parameters
if replacing the CMOS battery (see Section 3, "Disassembly and Reassembly" for battery
replacement procedures).
