Exiting BIOS Setup
The
Exit
setup menu includes all available options for exiting, saving, and
loading the BIOS default configuration. As an alternative to this screen,
press <F9> to load BIOS default settings and <F10> to save changes and
exit setup.
The
Exit
setup menu includes the following settings:
•
Exit Saving Changes
—Any changes made to BIOS settings are stored
in the battery-backed System CMOS. The setup program then exits
and reboots the controller.
•
Exit Discarding Changes
—Any changes made to BIOS settings
during this session of the BIOS setup program are discarded. The setup
program then exits and boots the controller without rebooting first.
•
Load Setup Defaults
—This setting restores all BIOS settings to the
factory default. This is useful if the controller exhibits unpredictable
behavior due to an incorrect or inappropriate BIOS setting. Notice
that any nondefault settings such as boot order, passwords, and
keyboardless operation are restored to their factory defaults. This may
produce undesirable behavior, and in heavily customized cases, may
cause the controller to malfunction or fail to boot.
•
Discard Changes
—Any changes made to BIOS settings during
this session of the BIOS setup program are discarded. Unlike
Exit
Discarding Changes
, however, the BIOS setup continues to be active.
•
Save Changes
—Changes made to BIOS settings during this session
are committed to battery-backed System CMOS. The setup program
remains active, allowing further changes.

3.
Move the jumper on W5 from pins 1–2 to pins 2–3, as shown in
Figure 2-3.
