apply your custom settings after clearing CMOS.
Settings Lock button (SET_LOCK):
The GIGABYTE settings lock button allows the system to automatically remember your last successful settings, even after
clearing CMOS. With one touch, the Settings Lock button can quickly revert to the previous good settings; a very useful tool
for overclockers tuning their BIOS to perfection. Note: This function is not available when ErP is enabled.
OC Ignition button (OC_IGNITION):
The OC Ignition feature maintains power to your motherboard and connected components while the system is shut down.
After pressing this button, be sure to press the power button to take effect.
Direct to BIOS button (DTB):
This button helps users more easily to directly enter the BIOS at any time before rebooting the system. (Pressing this button
during the POST process allows you to immediately enter BIOS Setup. Enter BIOS Setup directly on next boot if the button
is pressed after the POST process.)
