CAUTION:
1) The factory-default settings are set according to the <Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings>.

Acrosser recommends the user use the BIOS default settings unless he/she is very familiar with the
setting functions, or contact the technical support engineer for service.

2) If the BIOS loses the settings, the CMOS will detect the <Auto Configuration with Fail Safe Settings>

to boot the operating system. This option will reduce the performance of the system. Acrosser
recommends to choose the <Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings> in the main menu. This
option gives the best-configured values that should optimize the system performance.

3) The BIOS settings are described in detail in this section.

STANDARD CMOS SETUP

The <Standard CMOS Setup> option allows you to record some basic system hardware
configuration and set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in
a working system, you will not need to select this option anymore.

Date & Time Setup

Highlight the <Date> field and then press the [Page Up] /[Page Down] or [+]/[-] keys to set the current
date. Follow the month, day and year format.
Highlight the <Time> field and then press the [Page Up] /[Page Down] or [+]/[-] keys to set the current
date. Follow the hour, minute and second format.
The user can bypass the date and time prompts by creating an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For information
on how to create this file, please refer to the MS-DOS manual.


Floppy Setup

The <Standard CMOS Setup> option records the types of floppy disk drives installed in the system.
To enter the configuration value for a particular drive, highlight its corresponding field and then select
the drive type using the left-or right-arrow key.
