Save Values & Exit
Use this option when you want to save to CMOS the values you have just entered and
then exit back to the boot process. The new values are loaded, and you exit and
reboot. You will boot using the new BIOS setups.
You must use this option before you can use the “Restore CMOS from Flash” option.
Note that you must jumper JP5 in order to write to Flash memory.
Discard Values & Exit
Use this option when you want to discard the changes you just made and set the
system back to the BIOS as it was before you started making changes. The system
boots with the old values.
Get Default Values
Use this option when you need to reset the BIOS values all the way back to the
original, default values that were configured at the factory, before any other end
users made changes. You do not exit from the BIOS setups, so you can review the
defaults and continue editing if you wish.
Backup CMOS to Flash
Use this option to immediately backup the current CMOS values to the Flash device.
This is a useful “safety feature” that gives you a backup copy of the BIOS setups that
is easily retrieved if necessary. Please note that in addition to backing up the current
CMOS values, any edits you have made to the BIOS setups are automatically saved
to CMOS before CMOS is backed up to Flash. This means that you do not have to
use the ‘Save Current Values’ option before using this option if you have made
changes.
Restore CMOS from Flash
Use this option to restore the CMOS setup configuration that is stored in the Flash
device. If you have not previously backed up CMOS to Flash, you get an error
message, “Failed to find a valid CMOS backup structure in Flash.” Press any key to
return to the Exit Menu and backup CMOS.
