Automatic Update Frequency (Daily, Weekly, Monthly). Sets the frequency of checks to the BIOS update server. If a newer version of BIOS is available on the network server, the system will prompt to update the BIOS. Default is Monthly.

Recovering the Configuration Settings

This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See Computer Setup—File on page 53 in the Computer Setup—File table.)

NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash media device and save the device for possible future use.

To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See Computer Setup—File on page 53 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
