Chapter  4  UEFI SETUP UTILITY

4.1  Introduction

This section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to configure your 
system. You may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY by pressing <F2> or <Del> right 
after you power on the computer, otherwise, the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) will 
continue with its test routines. If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after 
POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the 
reset button on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off 
and then back on.

Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, the following UEFI setup 
screens and descriptions are for reference purpose only, and they may not exactly 
match what you see on your screen.
