Chapter 7 - Using System Setup
The System Setup program enables you to configure your computer hardware
and set security and power-savings options. The settings you choose are stored
in the battery-maintained CMOS memory that saves the information even when
the computer’s power is turned off. When your computer is turned back on, it is
configured with the values found in this memory.
Run System Setup if you get a message prompting you to run the program. You
may also want to run System Setup, particularly the first time you use your
computer, to set the time and date, use security or power-management features,
or alter the settings of other features.
