4 Using the BIOS Setup Program

BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST)
memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins.

BIOS settings, refer to the Intel
Intel World Wide Web site:

NOTE
For reference purposes, you should write down the current Setup settings. When you make changes
to the settings, update this record.

The Setup menus described in this section apply to the desktop boards with BIOS identifier
RL86510A.86A. Boards with other BIOS identifiers might have differences in some of the
Setup menu screens.
