Configuring the Motherboard using BIOS Setup
Before You Begin
CAUTION!
• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.
• Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial
numbers, installed options, and configuration information.
• Use an anti-static wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on the
motherboard.
WARNINGS
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology
associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory
compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications
links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in
this chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or
modems before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in
personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the motherboard may
continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.
CAUTION!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures
described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap
and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
Setting the Processor Speed
There is no need to set the processor speed as this is automatically set by the BIOS.
Check the BIOS utility Advanced sub menu CPU Configuration for the correct
detection for the CPU or CPU’s installed in the motherboard.
Note: The BIOS does allow changing of the CPU clock ratio, we do not recommend
the use of this option.
Clearing the Passwords
Note: Passwords can be cleared individually from the normal BIOS Utility setup
mode if the password to be changed is known, if no passwords have been set they
can be set as described later in this section.
