Loading the default settings

When you purchase an IBM personal computer, it is already configured for use. The original configuration settings, also called factory or default settings, are stored in the CMOS. Setup includes an option, Load Default Settings, that lets you reload the original configuration at any time.

If you have made changes in Setup but would like to restore the default settings, follow these steps:

1.From the Configuration/Setup Utility menu, highlight the option Load Default Settings then press Enter. A dialog box appears confirming if you want to load the default settings.

2.Type Y to select Yes, then press Enter.

3.Highlight the Save & Exit Setup option, then press Enter.

A dialog box appears saying “SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)?”

4.Type Y to select Yes, then press Enter to save the changes in CMOS.

You must load the Setup default settings in the following instances:

•when you replace the system battery

•when you customize your system configuration settings and some resource assignments conflict causing the computer to stop responding
