BIOS Settings

The SD37P2 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify basic

system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it re-
tains Setup information even if the system power is turned off.

The system BIOS manages and executes a variety of hardware related functions

including:

System date and time

Hardware execution sequence

Power management functions

Allocation of system resources

Enter the BIOS

To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:

Step1.

Power on the computer. The system will perform its POST (Power-On
Self Test) routine checks.

Step2.

Press the <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:
Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>,
<Esc> keys

Note 1. If you miss the train of words mentioned in step2 (the message disap-

pears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup,

restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and

ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the

computer’s front-panel.  You may also reboot by simultaneously

pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.

Note 2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not boot, the

screen will prompt an error message, and you will be given the

following options:

        "

Press F1 to Continue, DEL to Enter Setup”

Step3.

When you enter the BIOS program, the CMOS Setup Utility will display the
Main Menu, as shown in the next section.
