System Configuration Utility
The System Configuration Utility (SCU) is a ROM-based configuration utility that
displays the system’s configuration status and provides users with a tool to set their
system parameters. The settings are stored in non-volatile battery-backed CMOS
RAM which saves the information even when the power is turned off, and retains it
when the system is turned back on.
