Chapter 3. Setup Configuration Utility
3.1 Introduction
This chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SCU (Setup Configuration
Utility). The SCU allows you to enter the system configuration information. This
information is needed by the system to identify the type of devices installed and to set up
special features. Typical configuration information includes the date and time, the type of
disk drives, and the amount of memory; special features include Power Saving and
Security. The configuration information is stored in a special kind of memory called
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) RAM. A RTC backup battery
backs up CMOS RAM data. You may need to run SCU when:
• You see an error message on the screen requesting you to run SETUP.
• You change factory default settings for some special features.
• You want to modify some specific setting to optimize system performance.
3.2 Running SETUP and Moving Around
NOTE
1. All the SCU screens shown in this chapter are examples. Your actual settings may
vary from those shown here.
2. The SCU program may have been updated after this manual was published.
To run SCU, press F2 when the prompt appears in the left corner of the screen during
system startup. The prompt shows up on the screen for only a few seconds. You must
press F2 quickly. The SCU menu appears as shown next.
