BIOS Setup
This chapter provides a description of the BIOS setup utility. The BIOS setup menus

.
The BIOS setup utility provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to
modify the basic system conguration and hardware parameters. The modied data
will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the
power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will not need
to be changed unless there is a conguration change in the system, such as a hard
drive replacement or when a device is added. It is possible for the CMOS battery
to fail, which will cause data loss in the CMOS only. If this happens you will need to
recongure your BIOS settings.
