BIOS Setup

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that takes care
of the basic level of communication between the processor and pe-
ripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contains codes for various ad-
vanced features found in this system board. This chapter explains the

screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test, the
following message will appear on the screen:

If the message disappears before you respond, restart the system or
press the “Reset” button. You may also restart the system by press-
ing the <Ctrl> <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.

When you press <Del>, the main menu screen will appear.
