Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation :
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays
on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your
system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted
again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in
effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
POST Messages
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix,
it will either sound a beep code or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP
POST Beep
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred
and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code
consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM
error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.
