BIOS Setup Program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the provided utility. Use

the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to

“Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of your computer in

the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or change the power management

settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer

can recognize these changes and record them 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 the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to

enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. The system also provides Pop up the

menu function (F11 key), enables user to be possible to choose the starting installment in the POST process.

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

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets

you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the

navigation keys.

 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 Setup Defaults from the BIOS menu screen.
