BIOS Settings

Accessing the BIOS menu

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a

motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to

“Run Setup ” This section explains how to configure your

system using this utility
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program,

you can change the configuration of your computer in the

future For example, you can enable the security password

feature or change the power management settings This

requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS

Setup program so that the computer can recognize these

changes and record them in the CMOS RAM
When you start up the computer, the system provides you

with the opportunity to run this program Press <Delete>

during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup

utility(There are a few cases that other keys are used, such

as <F1>, <F2>, and so on ); otherwise, POST continues

with its test routines
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system

by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by pressing the reset

button on the system chassis You can also restart by

turning the system off and then back on Do this last

option only if the first two failed
The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as

possible Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll

through the various sub-menus and make your selections

from the available options using the navigation keys

Note: This manual describes the standard look

of the setup screen The motherboard manufacturer

has the ability to change any and all of the settings

described in this manual This means that some of the

options described in this manual do not exist in your
