Main menu screen

When you start BIOS Setup a main menu screen appears with the following options:

∙System Summary

∙Devices and I/O Ports

∙Date and Time

∙Security

∙Start Options

∙Advanced Setup

∙ISA Legacy Resources

∙Power Management

Save Settings Restore Settings Load Default Settings

Exit Setup

Lines with a ￿ bullet in front of them have further menus or dialog boxes associated with them, and are described later in this chapter.

A bullet next to a line indicates that BIOS Setup detected a configuration error and attempted to correct it.

The Save Settings option saves any changes that you have made so far.

The Restore Settings option restores the settings that were in effect when you started the BIOS Setup utility (with the exception of the Date and Time settings).

The Load Default Settings option restores the BIOS default settings.

Caution

The BIOS defaults may not be appropriate for your particular system. Make a note of the current settings before using the Load Default Settings option or pressing F10.
