8.1

ENGLISH

Entering the BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings that are needed for

system startup in the Desktop PC.

In normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure

optimal performance. Do not change the default BIOS settings except in the following

circumstances:

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

to run the BIOS Setup.

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

update.

Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend

that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.

Quickly enter the BIOS

Windows

8.1 boot time is quite fast, so we developed the following ways for you to quickly

access the BIOS:

• Press the power button for at least four seconds to shut down your Desktop PC, then

press the power button again to turn your Desktop PC back on, and press <Del> during

POST.

• When your Desktop PC is off, disconnect the power cord from your Desktop PC’s

power connector. Reconnect the power cord and press the power button to turn on your

Desktop PC. Press <Del> during POST.

POST (Power-On Self Test) is a series of software controlled diagnostic tests that run when

you turn on your Desktop PC.
