HW Setup

Configuring the Execute-Disable Bit Capability and

TPM

The configurations for the Execute-Disable Bit Capability and TPM are carried out in the BIOS setup program.

Notes before using the BIOS Setup

In most cases, changes to the system's configuration should be made within Windows by using applications such as TOSHIBA HW Setup,

TOSHIBA Password Utility, TOSHIBA Power Saver, Windows Device Manager and so forth. If you make changes to the configuration through the BIOS setup program, please be aware that the configuration set through the Windows applications will take priority.

Changes to the settings within the BIOS setup program will not be erased even if the power supply is switched off and the main battery removed. However, if the built-in Real Time Clock (RTC) battery runs out of power, most of the settings will revert back to their default values. However, please note that the following items will not be affected in this instance:
