BIOS Setup

The AIMB-258 Series system has built-in AwardBIOS with a CMOS SETUP utility
which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system fea-
tures.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power
to the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, pressing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST
(Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
