Settings in the BIOS Setup
In BIOS Setup you can set the system functions and the hardware configuration of the device. The
settings can only be changed via the keyboard.
When it is supplied, the device is set to factory default settings. You can change these settings in
BIOS Setup. Any changes you make take effect as soon as you save and quit the BIOS Setup.
The main options in BIOS Setup are described in brief below:

for system settings such as time, date, hard disks and BIOS version indicator.
