Introduction
This section contains information about the BIOS setup utility and is
intended to serve as a guide so that you can make changes to your system’s
BIOS when necessary.
The screen example that you see in this chapter is similar to what you see on
your LCD. However, you may have a system with a newer BIOS version
than the one described in this manual. In that case, some of the examples
may differ somewhat from what you see. If there are differences, follow the
Item Specific Help box in the right-hand column of the BIOS Setup menu.
