BIOS Setup Utility
BIOS Setup Utility is a program for configuring the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) settings of the computer.
BIOS is a layer of software called firmware that translates instructions from other layers of software into instructions that the computer hardware can understand. The BIOS settings are needed by your computer to identify the types of installed devices and establish special features.
This chapter tells you how to use the BIOS Setup Utility.
