The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI 
and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS.   

If you install an IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the auto-
configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for 
your computer.  You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing an 
IDE device.  You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual 
configuration in the BIOS Setup program. 

If you install a PCI add-in card in your computer, the PCI auto-configuration utility in 
the BIOS automatically detects and configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, 
and I/O space) for that add-in card.  You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program 
after you install a PCI add-in card. 

The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can 
be accessed and who can boot the computer.  A supervisor password and a user 
password can be set for the BIOS Setup and for booting the computer, with the 
following restrictions:   
•  The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup 

options.  If only the supervisor password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password 
prompt of Setup gives the user restricted access to Setup. 

•  If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, you must enter either the 

supervisor password or the user password to access Setup.  Setup options are then 
available for viewing and changing depending on whether the supervisor or user 
password was entered. 

•  Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer.  The password 

prompt is displayed before the computer is booted.  If only the supervisor 
password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password.  If both 
passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot the computer. 

For instructions on resetting the password, see Clearing Passwords on page 35.
