Notes before using the BIOS Setup

In most cases, changes to the system's configuration should be made

within Windows by using applications such as TOSHIBA HW Setup,

TOSHIBA Password Utility, Windows Device Manager and so forth.

If you make changes to the configuration through the BIOS setup

program, please be aware that the configuration set through the

Windows applications will take priority.

Changes to the settings within the BIOS setup program will not be

erased even if the power supply is switched off and the main battery

removed. However, if the built-in Real Time Clock (RTC) battery runs

out of power, most of the settings will revert back to their default

values. However, please note that the following items will not be

affected in this instance:

Password

Hard Disk Drive Password

Security controller

Select either the Execute-Disable Bit Capability or settings in the security

controller to make changes. Please refer to the operating instructions

displayed in the settings screen.
