# Starting System Setup

System setup means storing the hardware configuration information of the computer in the CMOS RAM. Through system setup, the computer retrieves various information including current date and time, memory capacity, and hard disk capacity and type.

You setup the system when you set passwords, change the booting order, and add new peripheral devices to the machine.

Items displayed on the Setup screen may differ by model type and spec.

- Refer to Setting the Password.

- Changing or Deleting the Password

- Restoring the Factory Default Settings

CAUTION:

- Do not change the system setup unless necessary. Incorrect system setup may cause errors during system operation. Take caution when changing the system setup.

- For performance improvement, CMOS setup menu configuration and the initial setup status may be changed and may become different from images included in the user manual.

1. Turn on the notebook PC.
