Notes before using the BIOS Setup

In most cases, changes to the system's configuration should be made

within Windows by using applications such as TOSHIBA HW Setup,

TOSHIBA Password Utility, TOSHIBA Power Saver, Windows

Device Manager and so forth. If you make changes to the

configuration through the BIOS setup program, please be aware that

the configuration set through the Windows applications will take priority.

Changes to the settings within the BIOS setup program will not be

erased even if the power supply is switched off and the main battery

removed. However, if the built-in Real Time Clock (RTC) battery runs

out of power, most of the settings will revert back to their default values.

However, please note that the following items will not be affected in this

instance:

• Password

• Hard Disk Drive Password

• Security controller
