About BIOS Setup

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven

utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and

tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM-based

configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and

provides you with a tool to set system parameters.

These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS RAM

that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the

system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found

in CMOS.

With easy-to-use pull down menus, you can configure such items as:

▪ Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals

▪ Video display type and display options

▪ Password protection from unauthorized use

▪ Power management features

The settings made in the setup program affect how the computer per-

forms. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the Setup

options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use the

computer.

When to Configure the BIOS

This program should be executed under the following conditions:

▪ When changing the system configuration

▪ When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are

prompted to make changes to the Setup program

▪ When resetting the system clock

▪ When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts

▪ When making changes to the Power Management configuration

▪ When changing the password or making other changes to the security

setup

Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not con-

sistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the

CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed.
