When to Use the BIOS Setup Utility
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run the BIOS Setup utility program when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.
Run BIOS Setup when you want to do one or more of the following:
∙Install or remove a PCI adapter
∙Install or remove an IDE disk drive
∙Change the display type
∙Change the password or security features
∙Change the CPU speed
∙Disable or enable the cache memory
∙Reserve the top 1 MB of system memory
∙Set the date and time
Setup loads configuration values into the battery- backed, nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
For information about adding or removing memory refer to the “Using the EISA Configuration Utility” section of Chapter 5.
Note: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup error
