The
Startup Guide screen (default) simplies conventional complicated BIOS setup menus and presents only
the most frequently used options in the easy-to-use interface. It helps rst-time users to perform basic system
setups more quickly and easily. The ST Mode (for the GA-Z97M-D3HP only) provides a fancy and user-friendly
BIOS environment where users can easily point and click through various settings and make adjustments for
optimum performance. Classic Setup is the conventional BIOS Setup interface where you can press the arrow
keys on your keyboard to move among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter a sub-menu. Or you can
use your mouse to select the item you want.
