Chapter 2: BIOS setup

Exit & Discard Changes

Select this option only if you do not want to save the changes that you

made to the Setup program. If you made changes to fields other than

System Date, System Time, and Password, the BIOS asks for a confirmation

before exiting.

Discard Changes

This option allows you to discard the selections you made and restore the

previously saved values. After selecting this option, a confirmation appears.

Select Ok to discard any changes and load the previously saved values.

Load Setup Defaults

This option allows you to load the default values for each of the

parameters on the Setup menus. When you select this option or if you

press <F5>, a confirmation window appears. Select Ok to load default

values. Select Exit & Save Changes or make other changes before saving

the values to the non-volatile RAM.

Exit & Save Changes

Once you are finished making your selections, choose this option from the

Exit menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM.

An onboard backup battery sustains the CMOS RAM so it stays on even

when the PC is turned off. When you select this option, a confirmation

window appears. Select Ok to save changes and exit.
