Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP uti l ity which all o ws user to configure
required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is t u rned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to t h e CMOS
SRAM.
When the power is t u rned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will
take you t o the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1".
When setting up BIOS for the f i rst time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the
event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either
Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating
system.
@BIOS is a Windows-based uti l ity that does not require users t o boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but
directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.
