This section provides information about using the BIOS Setup utility to change the default settings on your system.
Main Screen
When the BIOS Setup utility starts, the main program screen appears. The following options or information fields appear
on the main BIOS Setup screen.

drives.
Advanced CMOS Setup — enables you to make some changes to the basic operation of the system, such as
primary and secondary boot device and password check.
Advanced Chipset Setup — enables you to make advanced changes to SDRAM, DRAM, and memory size.

PCI/Plug and Play Setup — sets how the system handles plug-and-play devices and PCI bus devices.
