Running BIOS Setup
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a
menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the
system configuration and tailor your system to reflect installed
hardware or alter system performance. When the computer is
turned back on, the system is configured with the values stored in
CMOS. With easy-to-use menus, you can configure such items as:
^
Hard drives and peripherals
^
Boot up Drive Sequence
^
Password protection
The settings made in the BIOS Setup program intimately affect
how the computer performs.
