4-2 Chapter 4: BIOS setup

• Save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS le to a USB ash disk in case you

need to restore the BIOS in the future. Copy the original motherboard BIOS using the

ASUS Update utility.

• Download the latest BIOS le from the ASUS website at www.asus.com

4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system settings such as storage device

conguration, overclocking settings, advanced power management, and boot device

conguration that are needed for system startup in the motherboard CMOS. In normal

circumstances, the default BIOS settings provide optimum performance in most operating

conditions. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following circumstances:

• An error message appears on the screen during the system startup and requests you

to run the BIOS setup.

• You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or

update.

• Incorrect BIOS settings may result to system instability or boot failure. We strongly

recommend that you change the BIOS settings with the help of trained service

personnel.

• Updating the BIOS is potentially risky. If there are no issues using the current BIOS

version, DO NOT manually update the BIOS. A failed BIOS update may result in

system boot failure.
