Overview
This section describes the System Setup program, which is used to change the system configuration
information stored in NVRAM on the system board. If the system detects a discrepancy, an error message
may appear on the screen that identifies the incorrect configuration settings. The system then prompts you
to enter the System Setup program to correct the setting.
When to Use the System Setup Program
You can use the System Setup program as follows:
To change the system configuration information default settings
To set or change user-selectable options
To restore system configuration settings following a service action
To enable or disable integrated devices in your system
NOTICE: Whenever you add or remove PCI expansion cards that affect system resources (such as
ports and interrupt requests (IRQ), you must run the System Setup program, make any necessary
changes, and save the system configuration information. Failure to do so may cause resource
conflicts between PCI devices (such as the video PCI controller).
