General Help
Pressing the F1 key brings up context-sensitive help

Default Settings

There are two types of default settings, Fail-Safe and
Optimized. The system loads the Optimized Defaults
the first time the motherboard starts up after it is i n -
stalled in a system and autodetects system devices to
create a system configuration record which it stores
in CMOS memory. You can then customize the set-
tings further. The optimized settings are designed to
provide better system performance.
The Fail-Safe Defaults are minimum settings that
will get the board up and running if you are trying to
troubleshoot a problem and suspect that the BIOS
may be involved.
Interface Conventions
There are several interface conventions that improve
the program's ease-of-use. There are also some fea-
tures of the CMOS Setup Utility's interface that are
important to be aware of.
