Use the BIOS Setup program to update the BIOS or configure its parameters. The
BIOS screens include navigation keys and brief online help to guide you in using
the BIOS Setup program.
Entering BIOS Setup at startup
To enter BIOS Setup at startup:
•
Press <Delete> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). If you do not press
<Delete>, POST continues with its routines.
Entering BIOS Setup after POST
To enter BIOS Setup after POST, do any of the following:
•
Press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> simultaneously.
• Press the reset button on the system chassis.
• Press the power button to turn the system off then turn it back on. Do this
option only if you failed to enter BIOS Setup using the first two options.
• 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 Default Settings item under the
Exit Menu. See section 4.8 Exit Menu.
• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes

• Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com to download the latest BIOS file
for this motherboard.
Using the power button, reset button, or the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> keys to
force reset from a running operating system can cause damage to your data
or system. We recommend to always shut-down the system properly from the
operating system.
