Setup Utility

About the Setup Utility

The computer uses the Phoenix-Award BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the main board contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the main board BIOS.

The BIOS Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in Battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you have stored in CMOS.

The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.

The Standard Configuration

A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, it is recommended that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.

This Setup Utility should be used:

•when changing the system configuration

•when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup Utility

•when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts

•when making changes to the Power Management configuration

•when changing the password or making other changes to the Security Setup
