5. System BIOS

BIOS Setup Program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using

the Viglen supplied utility.

Use the BIOS setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring

you system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section explains how to configure you

system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup Program, you can change the

configuration of you computer in the future. For example, you can enable the

security password feature or change the power management settings. This requires

you to reconfigure you system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer

can recognise these changes and record then in the CMOS RAM of the firmware

hub.

The firmware hub on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the

computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press

<Del> during Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup Utility; otherwise, POST

continues with its test routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Del>,

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 fail.

The Setup Program is designed to make it easy to use as possible. Being a menu-

driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make you

selections from the available options using the navigation keys.

Note:

1. The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure

optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS

settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability.

Select the Load Default Settings item under the Exit Menu.

2. The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only,

and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
