Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

The BIOS is a boot program located in a Flash Memory chip on the mainboard. It is used to communicate with the hardware before the operating system (OS) takes the control of the system. Its main function is to manage the setup of the motherboard and interface card parameters, including simple parameters such as time, date, hard disk drive, as well as more complex parameters such as hardware synchronization, device operating mode, and the operating speed of the CPU.

Do not change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you fully understand their meanings and consequences: The parameters inside the BIOS are used to setup the hardware synchronization or the device-operating mode. If the parameters are not correct, they will produce errors, the computer will crash, and sometimes you will not even be able to boot the computer after it has crashed. We recommend that you do not change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you are very familiar with them. If you are not able to boot your computer anymore, please refer to Chapter 2 Hardware Installation, section 2-5 Jumpers -“Erase CMOS

data”.

Press <F10> to enter BIOS setup

Immediately press the <F10> key after power up the system. This will let you access into the BIOS Setup menu. If the post disappears before you response and the OS (operation system) starts, please restart the system by using the “Start” or “Reset” button on the chassis.

How to operate the BIOS menu

In the BIOS Setup menu, you can see several options. You will need the following function keys to operate the BIOS.

!Press<Esc> to exit the BIOS Setup menu.

!Press ↑↓← → (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to confirm or to modify.

!Press <F9> to load the CMOS optimal default settings

!Press <F10> to save these parameters into the CMOS and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.

!Press <+> to change values.

3-1 The Main Menu

After entering the BIOS, the main BIOS menu will appear on the screen. This main menu allows you to select twelve setup functions and two save/exit choices. Use the ↑↓← → keys to select the items and press <Enter> to confirm and enter the sub-menu.
