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 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
•
Bootup Drive Sequence
•
Password protection
The settings made in the BIOS Setup program intimately affect how the
Notebook performs.

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.
