System Configuration Utility This chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SCU (Setup Configuration Utility).
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.
modified after this manual was printed, you will find discrepancies between this chapter and the SCU program.
