This section explains how to configure your system using the BIOS Setup utility. The
Flash Memory on the motherboard stores the BIOS Setup utility. When you start up
the computer, there is a chance for you to run the BIOS Setup. Press <F2> during the
Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS Setup utility, otherwise, POST
continues with its test routines.
If you wish to enter the BIOS Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing
<Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You
can also restart by turning the system off and then back on.
The BIOS Setup utility is designed to be user-friendly. It is a menu-driven program,
which allows you to scroll through its various sub-menus and select among the
predetermined choices.
Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the
following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference
purpose only, and may not exactly match what you see on your
screen.
