3.1 Overview
The BIOS is a program that takes care of the basic level of
communication between the CPU and peripherals. In contains
codes for various advanced features found in this motherboard.
The BIOS allows you to configure the system and save the
configuration in a battery-backed CMOS so that the data retains
even when the power is off. In general, the information stored in
the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM will stay unchanged unless a
configuration change has been made such as a hard drive
replaced or a device added.
It is possible that the CMOS battery will fail causing CMOS data
loss. If this happens, you need to install a new CMOS battery
and reconfigure the BIOS settings.
The BIOS is constantly updated to improve the performance of
the motherboard; therefore the BIOS screens in this chapter may
not appear the same as the actual one. These screens are for
reference purposes only.
3.2 Entering the BIOS Setup Program
After you power up the system, the BIOS message appears on
the screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test,
the message “Press DEL to enter setup” will appear on the
screen. If the message disappears before you respond, restart
the system or press the “Reset” button. You may also restart the
system by pressing the <Ctrl> <Alt> and <Del> keys
simultaneously.
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined by the
BIOS Optimized Default settings which are stored with the BIOS
or are automatically detected and configured without requiring
User action. There are a few settings that you may need to
change depending on your system configuration.
