Using BIOS Setup

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup utility is a menu-driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor the operation of your OmniBook to your individual work needs.

The settings made in the BIOS Setup utility generally control the hardware and consequently have a fundamental effect on how the OmniBook operates.
