What is Setup?
• Tell the BIOS about changes you are making to the system hardware (e.g., installing a new disk drive) • Modify the behavior of your computer (e.g., change the date or time, or turn special features on or off). • Enhance your computer’s behavior (e.g., speeding up performance by turning on shadowing or caching)Because the Setup program varies considerably from computer to computer, you should study your computer manual for directions, contact the maker of your computer, and/or review the BIOS reference documents available on this site before making any changes to system settings. Be sure to run Setup before you make any changes to your system hardware, or if you see an error displayed during POST.
