Back to BIOS Button

The back panel Back to BIOS button (Figure 3, A) duplicates the functionality of the
BIOS configuration jumper (see Setting the BIOS Configuration Jumper on page 57)
with the following exceptions:
• It can only be used to force the board to power on to the BIOS Maintenance Menu
using default values but it will retain all previously saved changes.
• It cannot be used to override passwords set in the BIOS.
• It cannot be used to invoke BIOS recovery mode.
The button glows red when it is activated.
NOTE
Using the Back to BIOS button does not set the board to the factory BIOS
defaults. To restore settings to the factory defaults, use the <F9> key once
BIOS setup mode is active.

Hardware Management

The hardware management features of Intel Desktop Board DZ68ZV enable the board
to be compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM) specification. The board has
several hardware management features including the following:
• Fan speed monitoring and control
• Thermal and voltage monitoring
