Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the BIOS options to be toggled.

While a desired option is highlighted, press the

Enter

key to toggle the

option.

☛

Note

If the BIOS is disabled, it will not be possible to

change the other options.

If the boot drive is on a DAC960PG, then drive geometry changes should not

be attempted unless the boot drive is going to be reformatted. The option to

change the disk drive geometry between 8 gigabytes and 2 gigabytes stops

and generates a warning about the potential of data loss before the change

proceeds.
