BIOS Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s
ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support
for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also
password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS Setup
The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS is immediately activated.
Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you
are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will
continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If
you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button
or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also
restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message
will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and
exit choices.
