4. BIOS SETUP

D1260 CUR-DLSR User's Manual 39

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

pressing 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 reflect your BIOS screens exactly.
