Chapter 3 

Introducing BIOS 

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard.  This program is a 
bridge between motherboard and operating system.  When you start the computer, the BIOS 
program gain control.  The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on 
self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures 
the parameters of the hardware synchronization.  Only when these tasks are completed done it 
gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS).  Since the BIOS is the only 
channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, 
and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.    

In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options.  We will explain 
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short 
description of the function keys you may use here:

↑ ↓ ← →

 (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to 

confirm or to modify. 

 

Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these 
parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu. 

 

Press Page Up/Page Down or +/

 keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for 

the active option.  

 

3-1  Entering Setup 

Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.  

 

If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the 
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system 
case.  You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.  If 
you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message 
will be displayed and you will again be asked to  

 

Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup
