BIOS Information
BIOS Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM provides critical low-level support for a
standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special
support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS Setup
The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system
stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately
allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue
with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing
the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system
Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> or <F2> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change
entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to
select from various setup functions and exit choices.
