CHAPTER 5 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the
system in the CMOS on the motherboard. Its major functions include
conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving
system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS
Setup program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration
settings or to activate certain system features. When the power is turned off,
the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS
to keep the configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <DEL> key during the Power-
On Self-Test (POST) when the power is turned on. To see more advanced
BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menu
of the BIOS Setup program.
NOTE:

BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems of
using the current BIOS version, it is recommended that you don't flash
the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS
flashing may result in system malfunction.

It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you
need to) to prevent system instability or other unexpected results.
Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot.
If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to
default values. (Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this
chapter or introductions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter
1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
