power on features provided by the motherboard. Then, press the <DEL> key after the
Power On Self Test (POST), and before the scanning of IDE devices, Simply look for the
message “Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP” displayed at the bottom of the
screen during the boot up process. If the message disappears before you’ve had a
chance to respond, you can restart the system by Turning off the system power then turn
it on again, or Pressing the Pressing the “RESET” button on the system case, or Pressing
<CTRL>, <ALT> and <DEL> keys simultaneously.
Generally, the BIOS default settings have been carefully chosen by the system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. It is very
dangerous to change any setting without full understanding. We strongly recommend that
you.
DO NOT update your BIOS if the system works perfectly.
DO NOT change any setting unless you fully understand what it means.
