6.3 Setup Utility
This section describes the ROM resident Setup utility that provides the means to configure the
platform. The Setup utility is part of the system BIOS and allows limited control over on-board
resources such as parallel port and mouse. The following topics are covered here:
• Setup utility operation.
• Configuration CMOS RAM definition.
• Function of CMOS clear jumper.
6.3.1 Configuration Utilities Overview
On-board devices are configured through the Setup utility that is embedded in flash ROM. Setup
provides enough configuration functionality to boot a system diskette or CD-ROM. Setup is
always provided in flash for basic system configuration.
The configuration utilities modify the CMOS and NVRAM under direction of the user. The actual
hardware configuration is accomplished by the BIOS POST routines and the BIOS Plug-N-Play
Auto-configuration Manager. The configuration utilities always update a checksum for both areas,
so that any potential data corruption is detectable by the BIOS before actual hardware
configuration takes place. If the data is corrupted, the BIOS load the default configuration and
requests that the user reconfigure the system and reboot.
6.3.2 Setup Utility Operation
The ROM-resident Setup utility configures only on-board devices.
The Setup utility screen is divided into four functional areas. Table 31 describes each area:
Table 31. Setup Utility Screen
Keyboard Command Bar Located at the bottom of the screen. This bar displays the keyboard commands
supported by the Setup utility.
Menu Selection Bar Located at the top of the screen. Displays the various major menu selections
available to the user. The server Setup utility major menus are: Main Menu, Advanced
Menu, Security Menu, System Menu, Boot Menu, and the Exit Menu.
