Configuration Utility).
The SCU allows you to enter the system configuration information. This
information is needed by the system to identify the type of devices installed
and to set up special features. Typical configuration information includes
the date and time, the type of disk drives, and the amount of memory;
special features include Power Saving and Security.
The configuration information is stored in a special kind of memory called
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) RAM. A RTC
backup battery backs up CMOS RAM data.
You may need to run SCU when:
! You see an error message on the screen requesting you to run
SETUP.
! You change factory default settings for some special features.
! You want to modify the configuration information.
