Your computer uses this information to initialize all the components when booting up and functions as the basis for coordination between system components. If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to malfunction. If this happens, you can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory used to store the configuration information. You can run the setup utility and manually make changes to the configuration. You might need to do this to configure some of the hardware that you install on or connect to the mainboard, such as the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc. Running the Setup Utility Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads, a message appears on the screen that prompts you to "Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP". When you see this message, press the Delete key and the Main menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.
