The SETUP program and the factory default settings are stored

in the computer’s ROM BIOS (read-only memory, basic

input/output system). The configuration information you enter

is stored in an area of memory called CMOS RAM. This

memory is backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you

turn off or reset the computer.

Starting the SETUP Program

When you start your computer, it performs some power-on

diagnostics. During these diagnostics, you may see the

following message:

press <F2> to enter SETUP

(In SETUP, you can disable this message, if desired.)

Press F2 to run

SETUP. This message is only on the screen for a

few seconds. If you missed it, restart the computer and try

again.

If the system detects an error in your configuration, you hear

two beeps and see an error message followed by this message:

Press

<F1>

to resume,

<F2>

to

Setup

Press F2 to run SETUP.

SETUP displays the Main Menu. From this menu, you can

select the various options to identify your system’s

configuration and then save your new values to CMOS. If you

change your mind, you can cancel any changes you have made

and restore the default values stored in ROM or load the values

previously stored in CMOS.
