NOTICE
Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system
and its drivers.
If any changes are saved in the setup, the next time when the card boots, BIOS
configures the system according to the setup selections stored. If those values
cause the system boot to fail, reboot and enter setup to get the default values or to
change the selections that caused the failure.
