4. BIOS SETUP

4.2 BIOS Setup Program

This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that can be updated using

the provided utility as described in 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS.

The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system,

or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section describes how to configure your system

using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future

you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you

may want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power

management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using

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

record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM.

The EEPROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the

computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This

appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup

utility. If you are a little bit late in pressing the mentioned key, POST will continue

with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to

call Setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by press-

ing the Reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the

system off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail.

The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a

menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus

and make your selections among the predetermined choices.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key after

the computer has run through its POST.

NOTE: Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following

BIOS screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only and may not re-

flect your BIOS screens exactly.
