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:
• Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> simultaneously.
• Press the reset button on the system chassis.
• Press the power button to turn the system off then back on. Do this option only
if you failed to enter BIOS Setup using the first two options.
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 that you always shut down the system properly from
the operating system.
• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply to most conditions
