About the BIOS Setup utility

The computer’s BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure several
basic system characteristics. The settings are stored in battery-backed RAM and
are retained even when the power is off.

Enter the BIOS Setup utility by restarting the computer, then pressing F1 when
prompted during the startup process. The Main BIOS Setup utility screen
(which may not look exactly like the screen shown below) opens.
