Entering Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On

Self Test) process. When the message below appears on the screen, press
<DEL> key to enter Setup.

F11:Boot Menu

F12:Network boot

TAB:Logo

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to

enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the
RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing
<Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

You are allowed to select the 1st boot device without entering the BIOS setup
utility by pressing <F11>. When the same message as listed above appears on
the screen, press <F11> to trigger the boot menu.

The POST messages might pass too quickly for you to respond in

time. If so, restart the system and press <F11> after around 2 or 3 seconds
to activate the boot menu similar to the following.

The boot menu will list all the bootable devices. Select the one you

want to boot from by using arrow keys and then pressing <Enter>. The
system will boot from the selected device. The selection will not make
changes to the settings in the BIOS setup utility, so next time when you
power on the system, it will still use the original first boot device to boot up.
