2-8 Chapter 2: BIOS Information

2.2 BIOS Setup Program

The BIOS software is constantly being updated so the BIOS setup screens and

descriptions in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly

match what you see on your screen.

This motherboard supports a programmable Low Pin Count (LPC) chip that you

can update using the provided utility described in section “2.1 Managing and

updating your BIOS.”

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconﬁguring

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

your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the

configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the

security password feature or make changes to the power management settings.

This requires you 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 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.

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 and then back on. Do this last option only if the ﬁrst two fail.

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 among the predetermined choices.
