54 Maintaining and Troubleshooting the Gateway ALR 8300 Server
About the BIOS Setup Utility
The computer BIOS has a built-in program that lets you set many basic
system characteristics. These settings are stored and saved even when the
power is off. This chapter contains information about this setup utility and
is intended to serve as a guide so that you can make changes to the system
BIOS when necessary.
Many of the screen examples that you see in this chapter are identical to
what you see on your monitor; however, you may have a system with a
newer BIOS version than the one described in this manual. In that case,
some of the examples may differ somewhat from what you see, but the
screens are similar enough that you should have no trouble getting the
information that you need.
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
The computer BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure
several basic system characteristics. The settings are stored in
battery-backed RAM and are retained even when the power is off.
To enter the Setup utility, restart the system and then press
F
1
when
prompted on screen during the startup process.
The lower section of all screens provides information about keystrokes
necessary to access help, navigate through the menus, and perform other
functions.
