Appendix C Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program

Configuration/Setup Utility Menu Options

System Information

Choose this option to view information about your device. When you make changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the system information.

This option is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

Product Data

Choose this option to view the machine type and model of your device, the serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS code stored in electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM).

Devices and I/O Ports

Choose this option to view or change assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports.

Choose this option to enable or disable integrated SCSI and Ethernet controllers and all standard ports (such as serial and parallel). If you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable the integrated Ethernet controller and no Ethernet adapter is installed, the device will have no Ethernet capability. If you disable the integrated USB controller, the device will have no USB capability; to maintain USB capability, make sure that Enabled is selected for the USB Host Controller and USB BIOS Legacy Support options.

This option is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

Start Options

Choose this option to view or change the start options. Startup sequences take effect when you start the device. The startup sequence specifies the order in which the device checks devices to find a boot record. The device starts from the first boot record that it finds.

This option is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

Date and Time

Choose this option to set the date and time in the device, in 24-hour format (hour:minute:second). This option is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
