Overview of the BIOS Setup Program

BIOS AND SETUP

This chapter explains how to use the BIOS Setup program.
You can use the Setup program to change the computer's
configuration information and boot-up sequence.
Setup information is stored in CMOS random access
memory (RAM) and is backed up by a battery on the
motherboard when power to the computer is off.
To enter the Setup program, turn the computer on and press
<F2> when you see the message:
Press <F2> Key if you want to run SETUP
You have about five seconds to press <F2> before the boot
process continues.
NOTE
For reference purposes, you should write down the current Setup
settings on the space provided at the end of this chapter. When
you make changes to the settings, update this record.
When you enter the Setup program, you will see the Main
screen. Listed along the top of the display are three other
screens: Advanced, Security, and Exit.
Select a screen by pressing the left or right arrow keys. Use
the up or down arrow keys to select items within a screen.
Use the <Enter> key to select an item you want to change.
For some items, pressing <Enter> brings up a subscreen.
After you have selected an item, use the arrow keys to change
the setting.
The following table provides first an overview of function
keys in the Setup program, then gives an overview of the
menu screens and subscreens in the Setup program.
