BIOS Setup

The motherboard uses Whizpro BIOS, stored in a flash EEPROM. All of the configuration

information is stored in the CMOS.

4.1 BIOS Setup

The Whizpro BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads

system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking the system and

configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the

BIOS seek an operation system on the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS

launches the operating system and hands over control of system operation to it.

To start Setup, press the <F2> key during boot-up before or while a message similar to this appears

briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST: Press <F2> key if you want to enter SETUP

If the above message disappears before you have responded and you still wish to enter Setup, reboot

the system to try again by pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by

simultaneously pressing the <CTRL>, <ALT> and <DEL> keys.
