Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods for remotely configuring a computer BIOS of a testing computer system are provided. In one aspect, a method of testing is provided that includes establishing an interface between a first computer system and a second computer system. The second computer system includes a computer readable storage device that has a BIOS and a first set of BIOS configuration settings. The first set of BIOS configuration settings is adapted to a first device under test. At least one instruction is sent from the first computer system to the second computer system to enable the second computer system to select a second set of BIOS configuration settings adapted to a second device under test having different electronic characteristics than the first device under test. An electrical test is performed on the second device under test using the second computer system and the second set of BIOS configuration settings.
