System Configuration UtilityThis chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SCU (SetupConfiguration Utility).
5IntroductionSCU is a program that allows you to enter system configuration information andto store the information in CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)RAM.. A RTC backup battery maintains CMOS RAM data so thatconfiguration information is not lost when the system is turned off.A computer needs the configuration information to identify the type of devicesinstalled and to set up special features.The configuration information has been set up with default settings in the factory.You need to run SCU only when:๎‚„ Error messages appear on the screen asking you to run SCU.๎‚„ You want to change factory default settings.๎‚„ You want to update the configuration information according to a new deviceinstalled or an existing device removed.Starting SCUTo run SCU, turn on or restart the system and press the [Space] bar when the"System will Boot from C:, Press <Space> to change Boot Device or RunSetup” message appears at the bottom of the screen. The boot menu as shownbelow pops up.Boot from FDD A:Boot from HDD C:Boot from CD-ROMRun SCU Setup<Enter> to Confirm<Esc> to CancelSelect the Run SCU Setup” item using the arrow key and then press [Enter] torun SCU.The SCU program is subject to change without notice. If the SCU program was

If this item is enabled, thebooting time can be shortened.Keyboard NumlockSets if the Num Lock is automatically turned on for the internal keyboard aftersystem startup.Virus AlertSets if the warning messages announce that the hard disk boot sector (partitiontable) has been changed.Disable VGA ExpansionVGA expansion can expand low resolution mode to full panel range. If disableexpansion, you will see small display if resolution is not 1024x768.

System Configuration Utilities 5-95PassWord MenuThe PassWord pull-down menu allows you to create passwords to protect yourcomputer against unauthorized use.PassWordEdit New Password - Enable Boot Security - Enable SCU Security All items on this menu are described in the sequence below.Edit New PasswordSets the password for starting up the system, running the SCU program,unlocking Quick Lock, or using the hard disk drive. When setting a password,first make sure that Num Lock is off, then type your password and press [Enter].Confirm your password by typing it again and pressing [Enter].Remembering the password is essential.Enable Boot SecuritySets if the system asks for the password before starting up.Enable SCU SecuritySets if the system asks for the password before running the SCU program.
5Device MenuThe Device pull-down menu allows you to select settings relevant to systemdevices.Device - Disable - Disable Card Reader- Disable COM Port___________________ IDE/HDD Performance Select PIO Mode -All items on this menu are described in the sequence below.Disable IRIRQ resouces are very limited. UART2 occupies 8 consecutive ports and anIRQ. If no free IRQ is left for PCMCIA card, and IR is not used, user candisable IR.IDE/HDD PerformanceThis allows users to set HDD transfer speed. There are three speeds :Maximum/Medium/Compatible speeds. BIOS will detect HDD maximum speedand set it if users want high performance. But users have to know that someHDDs can not accept this highest speed. It’s better to select Medium speed forthis case.Select PIO ModeThere is four modes: SPP/PS2/EPP/ECP modes. SPP is the old standard and isthe most compatible mode.Select MODEM PortIf user plugs in Internal Modem, he can select the modem port here.
System Configuration Utilities 5-115Features MenuThe Features pull-down menu allows you to set up several system features.FeaturesSet TV ModeKeyboard RepeatKeyboard MatrixAll items on this menu are described in the sequence below.Set TV ModeSets the TV mode when a TV is used for the display output. Select PAL for usein the UK and Europe; NTSC for use in other areas.Keyboard RepeatInvokes a sub-menu that lets you set up "Keyboard Repeat” function."Keyboard repeat” means that continually holding down a key on the keyboardis interpreted as repeatedly pressing the key. The sub-menu contains thefollowing items:Keyboard Repeat Rate Sets the rate (in characters/second) at which thekeys are repeated.Key Delay sets the delay (in seconds) between when the key was firstpressed and when the repeating begins.
5Utility MenuThe Utility pull-down menu provides a function that verifies the suspend-to-diskpartition.UtilityVerify S2D PartitionVerify S2D PartitionChecks the suspend-to-disk partition for any defect block. You may use thisfunction once in a while to make sure that defect blocks in the suspend-to-diskpartition are not used to store data.This function also backs up the BIOS ROM data to the suspend-to-disk partition. Thisis helpful when the BIOS ROM happens to fail. With the backup data, the computercan still boot using the BIOS ROM data in the suspend-to-disk partition.
