3. BIOS Setup Utility
This chapter describes how to configure the system with the BIOS Setup
Utility. It also describes system parameters and which parameter to select for
your particular needs. The motherboard provides a 2MB, 32-Pins DIP package
FWB that can be updated using provided BIOS utility. The setup utility is like
a database of the hardware that is installed in your system. It contains
information about the configuration of the hardware.
When you have assembled your system, you should immediately run the
setup utility to configure the new hardware that you have used to build your
system. Thereafter, you may not need to attend the setup utility again unless
you make changes to the hardware configuration of the system.
If you are not sure how to configure the Setup utility, we suggest
that you select Load Optimized Defaults on the Main Menu screen,
then exit saving changes. This loads optimized default settings for
normal use.
