System Configuration Utility
This chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SCU (Setup
Configuration Utility).
5
Introduction
SCU is a program that allows you to enter system configuration information and
to store the information in CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)
RAM.. A RTC backup battery maintains CMOS RAM data so that
configuration information is not lost when the system is turned off.
A computer needs the configuration information to identify the type of devices
installed 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 device
installed or an existing device removed.
Starting SCU
To 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 Run
Setupโ message appears at the bottom of the screen. The boot menu as shown
below pops up.
Boot from FDD A:
Boot from HDD C:
Boot from CD-ROM
Run SCU Setup
<Enter> to Confirm
<Esc> to Cancel
Select the Run SCU Setupโ item using the arrow key and then press [Enter] to
run SCU.
The SCU program is subject to change without notice. If the SCU program was

modified after this manual was printed, you will find discrepancies between this
chapter and the SCU program.

The SCU screen consists of four areas:
๎ Menu bar is at the top of the screen. It contains menu titles for different
categories. When a title is selected, a pull-down menu appears containing
setup items. A check mark (โ) in front of an item indicates "Enabledโ and
a hyphen (-) indicates "Disabledโ.. When an item with no mark in front is
selected, a sub-menu will pop up.
๎ Information area is the center area of the screen. This area displays the
system๎ current configuration information. When a setup item is selected,
a sub-menu may appear in this area for you to make selections.
๎ Help is below the center area. It provides an explanation of the selected
item.
๎ Keyboard help is at the bottom of the screen. It gives keyboard
instructions for moving around and making selections.

Entering the Information
You can use the keyboard to move around and make selections.
With the Keyboard
In general, use arrow keys to move around and press [Enter] to select.
To complete the selection, there are different keyboard operations under
different situations:
๎ For an item containing no sub-menu, press [Space bar] to toggle between
enabled (โ) and disabled (-).
๎ In a sub-menu listing all the options, press the arrow key to move the bullet (l)
to your selection then press [Enter] to complete the selection.
๎ In a sub-menu containing multiple setup items, press the arrow keys to move
to an item. Press the [Space bar] to pull down the list of options, use arrow
keys to select an option, and press [Enter] to complete the selection.
Alternatively, you can press [F5] or [F6] to cycle through the options
bypassing the pull-down menu.
You can also use the shortcut key highlighted by a different color on the screen.

IDE/HDD Performance
Select PIO Mode

All items on this menu are described in the sequence below.
Disable IR
IRQ resouces are very limited. UART2 occupies 8 consecutive ports and an
IRQ. If no free IRQ is left for PCMCIA card, and IR is not used, user can
disable IR.
IDE/HDD Performance
This allows users to set HDD transfer speed. There are three speeds :
Maximum/Medium/Compatible speeds. BIOS will detect HDD maximum speed
and set it if users want high performance. But users have to know that some
HDDs can not accept this highest speed. Itโs better to select Medium speed for
this case.
Select PIO Mode
There is four modes: SPP/PS2/EPP/ECP modes. SPP is the old standard and is
the most compatible mode.
Select MODEM Port
If user plugs in Internal Modem, he can select the modem port here.

"Keyboard repeatโ means that continually holding down a key on the keyboard
is interpreted as repeatedly pressing the key. The sub-menu contains the
following items:
Keyboard Repeat Rate Sets the rate (in characters/second) at which the
keys are repeated.
Key Delay sets the delay (in seconds) between when the key was first
pressed and when the repeating begins.

Utility Menu
The Utility pull-down menu provides a function that verifies the suspend-to-disk
partition.
Utility
Verify S2D Partition
Verify S2D Partition
Checks the suspend-to-disk partition for any defect block. You may use this
function once in a while to make sure that defect blocks in the suspend-to-disk
partition are not used to store data.
This function also backs up the BIOS ROM data to the suspend-to-disk partition. This
is helpful when the BIOS ROM happens to fail. With the backup data, the computer
can still boot using the BIOS ROM data in the suspend-to-disk partition.
