The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS
(Basic Input/Output System). It runs and maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is a
menu-driven software, which allows you to easily configure and change the settings.
The BIOS contains manufacture’s default settings for the computer’s standard operations.
However, there are occasions when you may be required to modify the default settings in the
BIOS. For example, you may need to configure the BIOS power management (APM) settings if
you are using DOS, or non-Windows operating system.
The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to users. This is an important feature
because a great deal of vital information is carried within the computer nowadays. Unauthorized
access can be prevented. Later in this chapter, you will learn how to use this security feature.

Two Levels of Password Protection are available. The BIOS provides both a Supervisor and a
User password. If you try to activate both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The passwords activate two different levels of protection:
1. System always asks for password every time it is powered on.
2. System asks for password only when you attempt to enter BIOS utility.
The passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. Make sure you write them down or
memorize them. If you lost the passwords, the computer may need to be sent back to the factory
or to an authorized service dealer to reset the passwords.

Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the hardware devices in the BIOS
Setup utility. A faulty setting may cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the
changes you made, try to restore all the settings to factory defaults.
Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For example, without the audio driver
properly installed, the speakers and microphone will not work.
If external devices such as USB camera, scanner, printer do not function correctly when
connected to the system, it is usually the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s
manufacturer first.
Some software programs, which have not gone through rigorous coding and testing, may
cause problems during your routine use. Consult the software vendor for problem solving.
Legacy peripheral are not plug-and-play capable. You need to restart the system with these
devices powered up and connected first.
Be sure to go to BIOS SETUP and load DEFAULT SETTING after BIOS re-flash.
Be sure the Quick Key Lockout Switch on the bottom of the computer is not engaged;
otherwise the quick keys will not work.
