3.9 PC Health Status

The BIOS shows the PC health status in this window.

Item	Description
Current CPU Temp.	This field displays the current CPU	temperature,	if	your
Current CPU Temp.	computer contains a monitoring system.
	computer contains a monitoring system.
Current System Temp.	This field displays the current system	temperature,	if	your
Current System Temp.	computer contains a monitoring system.
	computer contains a monitoring system.
Current CPUFAN Speed	These fields display the current speed of up to three CPU fans,
Current CPUFAN Speed	if your computer contains a monitoring system.
	if your computer contains a monitoring system.
+12V / -12V / +5V / -5V / +3.3V	These fields display the current voltage of input lines, if your
/ VBAT	computer contains a monitoring system.

3.10 Defaults Menu

Selecting “Defaults” from the main menu shows you, which are described below

Load Optimized Defaults

When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:

Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N

Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations.

3.11 Supervisor/User Password Setting

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:

SUPERVISOR PASSWORD: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

USER PASSWORD: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus. When you select this unction, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
