Introduction
BIOS setup is a hardware configuration program built into the system's
Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Since most systems are already
properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility.
BIOS setup loads the configuration values in a battery-backed
nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of
the system RAM which allows configuration data to be retained when
power is turned off.
Before you run BIOS setup, make sure that you have saved all open
files. The system reboots immediately after you close the setup.
