4.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable rmware chip that you can update

using the provided utility described in section

4.1 Managing and updating your

BIOS

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconguring

your system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to congure

your system using this utility.

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

conguration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the

security password feature or change the power management settings. This

requires you to recongure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the

computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the

rmware chip.

The rmware 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.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, 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. Do this last option only if

the rst two failed.

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 from the available options using the navigation keys.

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions

to ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after

changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system

compatibility and stability. Select the

Load Setup Defaults

item under the

Exit Menu. See section

4.9 Exit Menu

only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
