4.1 BIOS Introduction

The BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System) is a program located on a Flash Memory on the
motherboard. When you start the computer, the BIOS program will gain control. The BIOS
first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self-test) for all the necessary
hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the
hardware synchronization.

Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup. If the
message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
