3. BIOS Setup
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 mother- board,
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.
The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven
program,
it lets you scroll through the various submenus and make your selections from the available
options using the navigation keys.
