BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility, like the SCU, is used to change system configuration parameters. This utility has some unique parameters and many parameters that are also configurable with the SCU. The utility is resident in the system FLASH memory and does not require a diskette or an operating system present to run. However, parameters set with the BIOS Setup Utility that can also be set with the SCU, will be overwritten by the SCU the next time the SCU is run.
Since the configuration information stored in the SCU overrides the configuration information stored in the BIOS Setup utility, it is strongly recommended that you only use the BIOS Setup utility for the following reasons:
■If the floppy disk drive is disabled and you want to enable the floppy disk drive to access the SCU diskette.
■To disable the floppy drive after changing the SCU to stop unauthorized SCU changes.
■To configure the system when there is no operable diskette drive.
■To correct a configuration error so the system will boot.
■To configure those features that are not in the SCU, such as security.
