The BIOS Setup program has three modes of operation:
•
Normal mode for normal operations
•
Configure mode for clearing passwords (see Chapter 2 for instructions)
•
Recovery mode for BIOS recovery
The BIOS Setup Program Operating mode is controlled by the setting of the configuration jumper
block. The jumper is set to normal mode at the factory.
