Page 30 highlights

Chapter2 Your computer has a configuration program, called SETUP, contained within the BIOS ROM (basic input/ output system read-only memory) chip on the system board. The BIOS ROM also contains default configuration settings for your hardware configuration, security options, and power-saving features that SETUP allows you to change. Any configuration information you set is backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you turn off or reset the computer. You may also want to install drivers and utilities for the built-in IDE interfaces and the built-in SVGA video interface. You only need to install these drivers if you're using an operating system other than Windows. This chapter describes the following procedures: Starting the SETUP program Using the System Setup options Using the Fixed Disk Setup option Using the Advanced System Setup options Setting the Boot options Selecting the Security Setup options Setting the Green PC features Installing PC1 IDE drivers Installing video drivers.

Your computer has a configuration program, called SETUP,
contained within the BIOS ROM (basic input/ output system
read-only memory) chip on the system board. The BIOS ROM
also contains default configuration settings for your hardware

SETUP allows you to change. Any configuration information
you set is backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you
