Bios Setup Program - Viglen Vig565s Manual

BIOS Setup Program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using
the provided utility described above.
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 can change the
configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can 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
<Del> 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. Being a
menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make
your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.
Note:
• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to
ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing
any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and
stability. Select the Load Default Settings item under the Exit Menu.
• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only,
and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
