BIOS SETUP
The BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains
the Setup information when the power is turned off.
Entering Setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter Setup. The
other way to enter Setup is to power on the computer, when the below message appear
briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test), press <Del> key
or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>, and <Esc> keys.
“Press DEL to enter SETUP”
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF the ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system
case. You may also restart by simultaneously press <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, DEL To Enter Setup”
