BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your computer,
such as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various
configuration settings. Your computer applies the information to initialize
all the components when booting up and basic functions of coordination
between system components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to
malfunction. It can even stop your computer booting properly. If it happens,
you can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory which has
stored the configuration information; or you can hold down the Page Up
key while rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also
clears the setup information.
You can run the setup utility and manually change the configuration. You
might need to do this to configure some hardware installed in or connected
to the mainboard, such as the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.
