Quick BIOS Setup
3.1 Introduction
The CMOS Setup Utility records and displays hardware settings and information of your
computer, such as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration
settings. Your computer takes advantage of this utility to detect and initialize all installed
components during the POST (Power On Self Test) process. If the configurations of
CMOS Setup Utility are incorrect, it may cause the system malfunction, and even makes
your computer boot improperly. If this happens, you can always use the JP5 jumper to
clear the CMOS and restore to default settings. (See Chapter 2.6 for details). You can also
enter CMOS Setup Utility and manually change its settings. In some cases, it is necessary
to configure the BIOS to match the specifications of newly installed hardware on the
motherboard, such as the CPUs, memory modules, AGP cards, optical/hard disk drives,
etc.
3.2 Running CMOS Setup Utility
Every time you start your computer, a message appears on bottom-left of the screen which
prompts you to “Press
DEL

<Delete>
or
