Chapter 3 BIOS Setup
Overview
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) is solidified in the flash memory on the CPU
board. Its main functions include: initialize system hardware, set the operating status of
the system components, adjust the operating parameters of the system components,
diagnose the functions of the system components and report failures, provide hardware
operating and controlling interface for the upper level software system, guide operating
system and so on. BIOS provides users with a human­computer interface in menu style
to facilitate the configuration of system parameters for users, control power
management mode and adjust the resource distribution of system device, etc.
Setting the parameters of the BIOS correctly could enable the system operating stably
and reliably; it could also improve the overall performance of the system at the same
time. Inadequate even incorrect BIOS parameter setting will decrease the system
operating capability and make the system operating unstably even unable to operate
normally.
BIOS Parameter Setup
Prompt message for BIOS setting may appear once powering on the system. At that
time (inefficient at other time), press the key specified in the prompt message (usually
<Del>) to enter BIOS setting.
When the BIOS setting in CMOS is destroyed, system may also require entering BIOS
setting or selecting certain default value.
All the setup values modified by BIOS are saved in the CMOS storage in system. The
CMOS storage is powered by battery; unless clearing CMOS contents, or else its
contents will not be lost even if powered off.
Note! BIOS setting will influent the computer performance directly. Setting parameter
improperly will cause damage to the computer; it may even unable to power on.
Please use the internal default value of BIOS to restore the system.
Our company is constantly researching and updating BIOS, its setup interface may be
a bit different. The figure below is for reference only; it may be different from your
BIOS setting in use.
