Overview

BIOS SETUP program

The BIOS SETUP program is stored in the ROM BIOS. Information about the system

configuration is stored in the battery-backed RAM of the device.
You can use SETUP to set the hardware configuration (for example, the hard disk type) and

define the system properties. You can also use SETUP to set the time-of-day and date.

Changing the device configuration

Your device configuration is preset for working with the software supplied with the unit. You

should only change the preset values if you have modified your device in any way, or if a

fault occurs when the unit is powered up.
