Another section just below the control keys section displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list. Standard CMOS Setup This "Standard CMOS Setup" option allows you to record some basic system hardware configuration and set the system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option anymore. However, if the configuration stored in the CMOS memory on the board gets lost or damaged, or if you change your system hardware configuration, you will need to renter the configuration values. The configuration values usually get lost or corrupted when the power of the onboard CMOS battery weakens. The above screen provides you with a list of options. At the bottom of this screen are the control keys for use on this screen. Take note of these keys and their respective uses. User-configurable fields appear in a different color. If you need information on the selected field, press the <F1> key. The help menu will then appear to provide you with the information you need. The memory display at the lower right-hand side of the screen is read-only and automatically adjusts accordingly. P/E-P55T2P4D User's Manual 29 IV.
