BIOS Setup Program
This Motherboard supports a programmable firmware hub (FWH) that you can
update using the provided utility described in section "2.1 Managing and updating
your BIOS."
Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring
your system, or prompted to "Run Setup". This section explains how to configure
your system using this utility.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you may want to change the
configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you may want to enable
the security password feature or change the power management settings. This
requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the
computer can recognise these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the
firmware hub.
The firmware hub on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press
<Delete> during the Power-On Self Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility. Otherwise,
POST continues with its test routines.
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <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. Do this last option only if the first
two failed.
The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu
driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus and
make your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.
Note:
If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load
the default settings to ensure system stability. Select the Load Default Settings
item under the Exit Menu.
