BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your system’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output 
System). Since most systems are already properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility. 
The BIOS setup utility stores basic settings for your system. You will need to run this utility if you encounter 
configuration problems. Refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
