The BIOS is the communication bridge between hardware and software, correctly setting up the
BIOS parameters is critical to maintain optimal system performance. Power on the computer,
when the message "
Press <Del> to enter Setup, <f7> to boot Menu
" appears at the bottom of
the screen, you can press <DEL> key to enter Setup.
Use the arrow right/left
keys to select a specific function and go to the submenu. Each function is
explained below:
Main
It displays the basic system configuration, such as CPU Name, memory size, system date,
time and so on. They all can be viewed or set up through this menu.
Advanced
The advanced system features can be set up through this menu.
Chipset
The values for the chipset can be changed through this menu, and the system performance
can be optimized.
boot
Boot features can be set up through this menu. You can set the boot device priority and enable
"Quiet Boot" feature here.
Power
All the items related with Green function features can be setup through this menu.
Health
This setup enables you to read/change fan speeds, and displays temperatures and voltages of
your CPU/System.
Security
The Administrator/User password can be set up through this menu to prevent unauthorized
use of your computer. If you set a password, the system will ask you to key in correct pass-
word before boot or access to Setup.
Save&Exit
The optimal performance settings can be loaded through this menu. However, it may offer bet-
ter performance in some ways (such as less I/O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause
problem if you have more memory or I/O cards installed. It means, if your system loading is
heavy, set to optimal default may sometimes come out an unstable system. What you need
now is to adjust BIOS setting one by one, trial and error, to find out the best setting for your
current system. You also can save or discard the changes and exit BIOS setup here.
We do not suggest that you change the default values in the BIOS Setup, and we
shall not be responsible for any damage which resulted from the change you made.
