Chapter 252 BIOS Setup Utility The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System). Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises. To activate the BIOS Utility, press m during POST (when “Press to enter Setup” message is prompted on the bottom of screen). The setup screen displays BIOS as follows:Navigating the BIOS Utility During setup,all Fn function keys and power saving functions are disabled. There are five menu options: Main, Advanced, Security, Boot and Exit. Follow these instructions: TTo choose a menu, use the cursor left/right keys (zx).
