Chapter 3 BIOS Setting
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters and other system
configuration of the system on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the
Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters and loading
operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program thatallows the user to modify
basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features.
BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems of using the current BIOS
version, it is recommended that you don't flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution.
Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.
It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent
system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result
in system's failure to boot. If this occurs,try to clear the current values via the related jumper
or removing the battery on M/B, then power on system to load default values.
