2.1 BIOS Setup Program
This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the
provided utility. Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard,
reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure
your system using this utility.
The firmware hub on the motherboard stores the BIOS Setup utility. When you start up the
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del> during
the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its
test routines.
If you wish to enter BIOS Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>,
or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the
system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two methods mentioned above
fail.
The BIOS Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a
menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your
selections from the available options using the navigation keys.
The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to
ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing
any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and
stability. Select the “Load Optimized Defaults” from the BIOS menu screen.
The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only,
and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
