5.1 Using BIOS Setup Utility When to Use BIOS Setup?

You may need to run the BIOS Setup when:

An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and requests you to run SETUP.

You want to change the default settings for customized features. You want to reload the default BIOS settings.

How to Run BIOS Setup?

To run the BIOS Setup Utility, turn on the computer and press the [Del] key during the POST procedure.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On, or simultaneously pressing [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] keys to restart.

The screen snaps and setting options in this chapter are for your references only. The actual setting screens and options on your computer may be different because of BIOS update.
