BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS
is set at the factory for normal operating conditions,
therefore there is normally no need to set or change the
BIOS environment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility configures:

• Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.

• System Data Security feature parameters, such as
passwords.
