This chapter describes the Power-on Self Test (POST) and system configuration utilities. Table 5
briefly describes the utilities.
Table 5. Configuration Utilities
Utility Description and brief procedure Page
BIOS Setup (“Setup”) You can use Setup to change system configuration defaults.
If the system does not have a diskette drive, or the drive is
disabled or misconfigured, use Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS switch on the system board from the
default setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this
will allow most system configurations to boot. For the procedure to
do this, see “CMOS Clear Switch” on page 183. Then run the SSU
to configure the system.

System Setup Utility (SSU) Use for extended system configuration of onboard resources and
add-in boards, viewing the system event log (SEL), setting boot
device priority, or setting system security options.
The SSU can be run from either the configuration software
CD-ROM or from a set DOS-bootable diskettes. See the printed
Quick
Start Guide
to make a set of SSU diskettes.
Information entered via the SSU overrides information entered via
Setup.
