Chapter 3 UEFI Setup Utility
3.1 Introduction
This section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to configure the system. The
UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the UEFI SETUP UTILITY. Run the UEFI SETUP
UTILITY when starting up the computer. Please press <F2> or <Del> during the Power-
On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY; otherwise, POST will continue
with its test routines.
Restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> to enter the UEFI SETUP UTI
ITY after POST, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. This allows user to
restart by turning the system off and then back on.
