Introduction
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 notebook computer is turned back
on, the system is configured with the values stored in CMOS.

The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. If you
accidentally make a setting and don’t know which one to switch back to, the Setup program
has a hot key that allows you to return to the previous value.
