Chapter2,"BIOSSetup."
Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
BIOS(Basic Inputand Output System) records hardware parameters ofthe systemin theCMOS onthe
motherboard.ItsmajorfunctionsincludeconductingthePower-OnSelf-Test(POST)duringsystemstartup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.
Whenthepoweristurnedoff,thebatteryonthemotherboardsuppliesthenecessarypowertotheCMOSto
keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.
ToaccesstheBIOSSetupprogram,pressthe<Delete>keyduringthePOSTwhenthepoweristurnedon.
ToupgradetheBIOS,useeithertheGIGABYTEQ-Flashor@BIOSutility.
• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.
• @BIOSisaWindows-basedutilitythatsearchesanddownloadsthelatestversionofBIOSfromtheInternet
and updates the BIOS.
• BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,
itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing
may result in system malfunction.
• Itisrecommendedthatyounotalterthedefaultsettings(unlessyouneedto)topreventsysteminstabilityorother
unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, try to
cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe"LoadOptimizedDefaults"sectionin
thischapterorintroductionsofthebattery/clearCMOSjumperinChapter1forhowtocleartheCMOSvalues.)
