Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of
memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your
computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored
in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? N
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous
selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

Messages
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to
do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message. If a
message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP
POST Beep
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a
video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display
any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed
by two short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred.
This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.
Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error
during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.
