6.3Setup Utility

This section describes the ROM resident Setup utility that provides the means to configure the platform. The Setup utility is part of the system BIOS and allows limited control over on-board resources such as parallel port and mouse. The following topics are covered here:

∙Setup utility operation.

∙Configuration CMOS RAM definition.

∙Function of CMOS clear jumper.

6.3.1Configuration Utilities Overview

On-board devices are configured through the Setup utility that is embedded in flash ROM. Setup provides enough configuration functionality to boot a system diskette or CD-ROM. Setup is always provided in flash for basic system configuration.

The configuration utilities modify the CMOS and NVRAM under direction of the user. The actual hardware configuration is accomplished by the BIOS POST routines and the BIOS Plug-N-Play Auto-configuration Manager. The configuration utilities always update a checksum for both areas, so that any potential data corruption is detectable by the BIOS before actual hardware configuration takes place. If the data is corrupted, the BIOS load the default configuration and requests that the user reconfigure the system and reboot.

6.3.2Setup Utility Operation

The ROM-resident Setup utility configures only on-board devices.

The Setup utility screen is divided into four functional areas. Table 31 describes each area:

	Table 31. Setup Utility Screen
