3.1 When to Use Setup
The notebook is already correctly configured for you and you do not need to run Setup. If you

following:
• Change the system date, time or speed
• Add or remove serial and parallel devices
• Change the system boot drive or display device
• Set the video display features
• Set the power-saving modes
• Set, change, or remove a system password
The system configuration values reside in the battery-powered CMOS RAM.
