Entering Setup
To enter Setup, press Ctrl-Alt-Esc during the POST (Power-on
self-test). The “BIOS Setup” main menu then appears:
Note: Choose “Load Setup Defaults” for best performance with light
system loading. Refer to “Load Setup Defaults” on page 61.
The section at the bottom of the screen tells how to control the
screen. Use the arrow keys to move between items, ESC to
exit, and F10 to save the changes and exit. Another section at
the bottom of the screen displays a brief description of the
highlighted item. After selecting an item, press Enter to select
it or enter a submenu.
The parameters on the screens show default values. These
values may not be the same as those in your system.
The grayed items on the screens have fixed settings and are
not user-configurable.
