ABSTRACT:
A computer system10with one or more processors12can be configured to operate in any one of a number of thermal environments. A setting system14sets operating parameters of the computer system such as processor operating voltage and frequency. A selecting system16selects values of operating parameters for use in setting by responding to an input of configuring data20to select a set of parameter values from a parameter value storage memory18. The configuring data20may be input by the insertion of a smart card58. Such configuring is useful in adapting computer systems during manufacture for compliance with desired specifications without hardware modification.
