Chapter 5: BIOS Utilities
Overview
This chapter gives a brief introduction to the computer’s built-in software:
Diagnostics:
The
POST
(Power-On Self Test)
Configuration:
The
Setup
utility
If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes
to the system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first
and note the original settings found in
Setup
. Even if you are a beginner, keep
a record of the settings you find and any changes you make. This information
could be useful if your system ever needs servicing.
There is one general rule:
Don’t make any changes unless you are sure of what
you are doing
. Many of the settings are required by the system, and changing
them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any doubts, con-
sult your service representative.

and restore the
