4.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable rmware chip that you can update using the

provided utility described in section

4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconguring your

system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to congure your system

using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the conguration of

your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or

change the power management settings. This requires you to recongure your system using

the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them

in the CMOS RAM of the rmware chip.

The rmware chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the

computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del>

during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues

with its test routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del>,

or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the

system off then back on. Do this last option only if the rst two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven

program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the

available options using the navigation keys.

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure

optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS

settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Press

<F5> and select

Yes

to load the BIOS default settings.

• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and

may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
