BIOS Setup DESKPOWER 6000
1 Preface What is BIOS setup? BIOS setup is a program that helps the user set up a hardware environment, including memory, hard disks, and floppy disk drives. Minimum setup has already been installed on this personal computer when you purchase it. BIOS must be set up under the following circumstances: - When a storage unit, such as a floppy disk drive or a built-in hard disk (IDE), is mounted or removed. - When a password permitting specific users to access the PC is set. - When memory or serial ports are set up. - When the power savings mode is released or changed (to put in standby mode when power is on but PC is not used). - When a message requesting BIOS setup is displayed. - When another Operating System (OS) is used. Point Contents selected in BIOS setup are stored in the PC internal memory called CMOS RAM, which stores recorded contents using batteries. If an error message indicating BIOS setup is displayed when the PC is turned on or rebooted even if BIOS setup is completed correctly, the setup contents will not be stored in this CMOS RAM if the batteries are dead. CAUTION When replacing the battery, be sure to install it with the polarities in the correct position. Danger of explosion if battery is replaced with incorrect type or is mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer s instructions. 2
