Note
The descriptions relating to BIOS in this Manual can only be used for reference
as the BIOS version of the motherboard is upgraded continuously. Giada provides
no guarantee that the contents in this Manual be consistent with the information
you acquire.
BIOS is a basic I/O control program saved in the Flash Memory. Bridging the
motherboard and the operating system, BIOS is used for managing the setup of
the related parameters between them. When the computer is activated, the
system is first controlled by the BIOS program. First, a self-detection called POST
is performed to check all hard devices and confirm the parameters of the
synchronous hardware. Once all detections are completed, BIOS will hand over
the controlling to the operating system (OS). As BIOS serves as the only channel
that connects the hardware and software, whether your computer can run stably
and work in optimized state will hinge on how to properly set the parameters in
BIOS. Therefore, the correct setup of BIOS plays a key role in stably running the
system and optimizing its performance.
The CMOS Setup will save the set parameters in the built-in CMOS SRAM on the
motherboard. When the power is shut off, the lithium battery on the motherboard
will provide continuously power for CMOS SRAM. The BIOS setup program will
allow you to configure the following items:
1.HD drive, floppy drive and peripheral devices;
2.Video display type and display items;
3.Password protection;
4.Power management characteristics.
A.State of BIOS Setup
When the computer is started up, BIOS will run the self-detection (Post) program.
This program includes series of diagnosis fixed in BIOS. When this program is
executed, the following information will appear if any error is found:
Press F1 to Run Setup
Press F2 to Load default values and continue
