Chapter 3. Setup Configuration Utility
3.1Introduction
This chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SCU (Setup Configuration Utility). The SCU allows you to enter the system configuration information. This information is needed by the system to identify the type of devices installed and to set up special features. Typical configuration information includes the date and time, the type of disk drives, and the amount of memory; special features include Power Saving and Security. The configuration information is stored in a special kind of memory called CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) RAM. A RTC backup battery backs up CMOS RAM data. You may need to run SCU when:
•You see an error message on the screen requesting you to run SETUP.
•You change factory default settings for some special features.
•You want to modify some specific setting to optimize system performance.
