BIOS Setup Utility

This utility is a hardware configuration program built into a computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).

The utility is pre-configured and optimized so most users do not need to run it. If configuration problems occur, the setup utility may need to be run. Refer to Chapter 4, Troubleshooting when a problem arises.

To enter this utility, during POST (power-on self-test), press F2 when the prompt appears on the bottom of screen.

The default setting of the F12 Boot Menu is Disabled. To change the boot device without entering the BIOS Setup Utility, set the parameter to Enabled. During the next POST, press F12 to enter the multi-bootmenu.
