l Computer data — Two boxes below the title box that display your computer processor, L2 cache, service tag, and the version number of the BIOS.
l Options — A scrollable box listing options that define the configuration of your computer, including installed hardware, power conservation, and security
features.
Fields to the right of the option titles contain settings or values. The fields that you can change appear bright on the screen. The fields that you cannot
