Customizing Your BIOS Settings
This chapter explains how to use the Setup Utility to modify the BIOS settings. The Setup Utility
displays and allows modification of the GoBook III components and the configuration of devices that
are connected to it. This information is used to test and initialize components at start-up time and to
make sure everything runs properly when the system is operating.
The GoBook III is configured with a set of default values. You may be able to increase system
p
erformance by changing some of the timing values in the Setup Utility, but this can be limited by the
kind of hardware you are using. In certain circumstances, the system may generate an error message that
asks you to make changes to the BIOS settings using the Setup Utility. This happens when the system
finds an error during the POST (Power On Self Test) that it carries out at startup.
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you change any settings since this may cause the unit to not
function properly.
If you are not sure how to configure the BIOS settings
we suggest that you select Auto configuration
with Optimal Settings on the Main Menu screen, then exit saving changes. This loads optimized default
settings for normal use.
