Getting Help
After entering the Setup utility, the first screen you see is the Main Menu.
Main Menu
The main menu displays the setup categories the BIOS supplies. You can use
the arrow keys ( ↑↓ ) to select the item. The on-line description for the selected
setup category is displayed on the bottom of the screen.
Default Settings
The BIOS setup program contains two kinds of default settings: the Optimized
and Fail-Safe defaults. Optimized defaults provide optimum performance set-
tings for all devices and the system. (The default value described in the
chapter usually refers to the Optimized defaults unless otherwise specified.)
Fail-Safe defaults provide the safest set of parameters instead of the optimal
system performance for the system.
