you can verify or update the configuration information. You
also may need to run SETUP again later if you change your
configuration.
SETUP lets you verify or change the following:
0
System settings such as date, time, diskette drive type(s),
and video display type
0
Automatic or manual selection of hard disk drive(s)
0
Automatic or manual selection of advanced hardware
features for optimizing system performance
0
System booting options
0
Password security and anti-virus features
0
Green PC options, such as the time intervals before the
system and the hard disk drive go into low-power standby
mode.
SETUP also allows you to see summary information about your
system.
The SETUP program and the factory default settings are stored
in the computer’s ROM BIOS (read-only memory, basic
input/ output system). The configuration information you enter
is stored in an area of memory called CMOS RAM. This
memory is backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you
turn off or reset the computer.
