4.1 Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in the ROM of your
computer system supports Intel
®
processors. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives,
serial ports and parallel ports. It also provides password protection as
well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset
controlling the entire system.
4.2 BIOS Setup
The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the
Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS is immediately
activated. Press the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the
Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST
(Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup.
If you still need to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing
the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and
<Delete> keys.
You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again.
The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help, and
<Esc> to quit.
