Setup Utility
Setup Utility 2-1
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer.
There is no need to run Setup when starting the computer unless you
get a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed
nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part
of the system RAM.
If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages,
the battery may be bad. In this case, the
system cannot retain configuration values in
CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for
assistance.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files.
The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup.
