7 Using Setup Utility (BIOS)
Setup Utility, or Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), controls communication between all the input and output
devices on the system (such as disk drives, display, keyboard, mouse, and printer). Setup Utility (BIOS)
includes settings for the types of devices installed, the startup sequence of the computer, and the amount of
system and extended memory.
Starting Setup Utility (BIOS)
CAUTION: Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility (BIOS). Errors can prevent the computer

Some download packages contain a file named Readme.txt, which contains information regarding installing
and troubleshooting the file.
Determining the BIOS version

the computer, you need to know the version of the system BIOS that is installed.

typing support, selecting the HP Support Assistant app, and then selecting System Information, or by
using Setup Utility (BIOS).
