Knowing BIOS
The new ASUS UEFI BIOS is a Unied Extensible Interace that complies with UEFI
architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard-
only BIOS controls to enable a more flexible and convenient mouse input. You can easily
navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as your operating system. The
term "BIOS" in this user manual reers to "UEFI BIOS" unless otherwise specied.
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings such as storage
device conguration, overclocking settings, advanced power management, and boot
device conguration that are needed or system startup in the motherboard CMOS. In
normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure
optimal performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following
circumstances:
An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you
•
to run the BIOS Setup.
You have installed a new system component that requires urther BIOS settings or
•
update.
Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly
recommend that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service
personnel.
BIOS settings and options may vary due to different BIOS release versions. Please refer to
the latest BIOS version for settings and options.
