USER`S MANUAL
The
Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into
your notebook's BIOS (Basic Input/Ouput System). It runs and
maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is a menu-driven
software, which allows you to easily configure and change the
settings.
The BIOS contains manufacture's default settings for the
notebook`s standard operations. However, there are occasions
when you may be required to modify the default settings in the
BIOS. For example, you may need to activate the BIOS setup
program when a hardware change, such as an upgrade, occurs, or
when you decide to customize the hardware settings to suite
your specific needs.
The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to
users. This is an important feature because a great deal of vital
information is carried within the notebook nowadays. Unautho-
rized access can be prevented. Later in this chapter, you will
learn how to use this security feature.
