The motherboard uses Whizpro BIOS, stored in a flash EEPROM. All of the configuration
information is stored in the CMOS.
4.1 BIOS Setup
The Whizpro BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS
reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking
the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). When these
preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seek an operation system on the data storage devices
(hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands over
control of system operation to it.
To start Setup, press the <F2> key during boot-up before or while a message similar to this
appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST:
Press <F2> key if you want to
enter SETUP
If the above message disappears before you have responded and you still wish to enter Setup,
reboot the system to try again by pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may
also restart by simultaneously pressing the <CTRL>, <ALT> and <DEL> keys.
