CHAPTER 2
BIOS Setup
2.1 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.
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.
