5.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable Low-Pin Count (LPC) 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 LPC chip.

The LPC 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, reboot the system by doing any of

the following procedures:

• Restart using the OS standard shut-down procedure.

• Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+< D e l > simultaneously.

• Press the reset button on the system chassis.

• Press the power button to turn the system off then back on.

Using the power button, reset button, or the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> keys

to force reset from a running operating system can cause damage to

your data or system. We recommend to always shut-down the system

properly from the operating system.

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. Select the Load Default

Settings item under the Exit Menu. See section “5.8 Exit Menu.”

• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference

purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your

screen.
