Getting help in BIOS Setup
You can at any time get general help about the
control keys by pressing the
F
1 key.
The help window on the right-hand side of each
menu displays help text for the currently-selected

field to another.
Reserving ISA legacy resources

(UMB) regions for ISA expansion cards, go to the
Advanced menu, select PCI Configuration, then
select PCI/PNP ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion or
PCI/PNP ISA UMB Region Exclusion as required.
Power-on self-test
Recoverable POST errors
Whenever a recoverable (non-terminal) error occurs
during POST, the BIOS displays an error message
describing the problem (the most usual are described
below). After some messages, you may be prompted
to
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to enter Setup
or just
Press <F2> to enter Setup
.
In general, you should respond to these errors as
follows:
♦
Shut down the computer, wait 20 to 30
seconds, and then turn it on again to see if the
problem is still reported.
♦
Check that all external cables are securely
connected.
♦
Try running the BIOS Setup utility to
reconfigure the system. If the computer won’t
start after you make changes in BIOS Setup, try
restoring the original values.
♦
Open up the system unit and check that all
internal signal and power cables are securely
connected.
♦
If the problem persists, contact your supplier or
authorised maintainer.
