All computer motherboards provide a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configuration and settings. If your motherboard came in a computer system, the proper
configuration entries may have already been made. If so, invoke the Setup utility, as
described later, and take note of the configuration settings for future reference; in
particular, the hard disk specifications.

The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the com-
puter, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This appears
during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup utility. If
you are a little bit late pressing the mentioned key(s), POST will continue with its test
routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to call Setup,
reset the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the Reset
button on the system case. You can also restart by turning the system off and then
back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail.
