4-1. BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW

The BIOS is a program used to initialize and set up the I/O system of the computer, which includes the PCI bus and connected devices such as the video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard.

The BIOS provides a menu-based interface to the console subsystem. The console subsystem contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the hardware components and facilitates interaction between the system hardware and the operating system.

The BIOS default values ensure that the system will function at its normal capability. In the worst situation the user may have corrupted the original settings set by the manufacturer.

After the computer is turned on, the BIOS will perform diagnostics on the system and display the size of the memory that is being tested. Press the [Del] key to enter the BIOS Setup program, and then the main menu will show on the screen.

The BIOS Setup main menu includes some options. Use the [Up/Down] arrow key to highlight the option that you wish to modify, and then press the [Enter] key to select the option and configure the functions.

BIOS: Setup Main Menu

CAUTION:

1.In the AR-B1682 BIOS the factory-default setting is the <Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings> Acrosser recommends using the BIOS default settings, unless you are very familiar with the settings function, or you can contact the technical support engineers (FAE).

2.If the BIOS loses the settings, the CMOS will detect the <Auto Configuration with Fail Safe Settings> to boot the operating system. This option will reduce the performance of the system. Acrosser recommends choosing the <Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings> in the main menu. This option gives best-case values that should optimize system performance.

3.The BIOS settings are described in detail in this section.
