Using the BIOS Setup Utility 

The BIOS Setup Utility allows you to configure your computer’s basic settings. When you turn your computer on, the 
system reads this information to initialize the 

hardware

 so that it will operate correctly. You can use the BIOS Setup 

Utility to change your computer’s start-up configuration. For example, you can change your system's security routine. 

Starting the BIOS Setup Utility 

You can only start the Setup Utility shortly after the computer has been turned on. When you see the message "Press 
Enter button to enter  SETUP" display at the bottom of the screen, press the

 

Enter

 

key

 . 

You will then see the following screen: 

 

Use your 

Line Up

 or 

Line Down

 

hot keys

 to highlight "CMOS Setup Menu" and press the 

Enter

 key.  The system will 

start the Setup Utility and display the main menu of the utility. 

CAUTION

  Incorrect settings can cause your system to malfunction.  To correct mistakes, return to Setup and restore 

the Setup Defaults by going to the Exit Menu and selecting "Load Optimal Defaults".
