5-1 Main Menu
The ROM BIOS contains a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify the basic system configuration and
hardware parameters. The modified data is stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even
when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there
is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens you will need install a new CMOS
battery and reconfigure your BIOS settings.
The BIOS setup screen and description are for reference only, and may not
exactly match what you see on your screen. The contents of BIOS are subject
to change without notice. Please visit our website for BIOS updates.
To enter the Setup Program :
Power on the computer and press the <Del> key during the POST (Power On Self Test). The BIOS CMOS SETUP
UTILITY opens.
The main menu displays all the major selection items. Select the item you need to reconfigure. The selection is made
by moving the cursor, press any direction (arrow key ) to the item and pressing the 'Enter' key. An on-line help
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen as the cursor is moved to various items which provides a better
understanding of each function. When a selection is made, the menu of the selected item will appear so that the user
can modify associated configuration parameters.
For more information regarding BIOS settings refer to the complete manual in the
bundled CD.
