3.BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings that is needed for system initiation within the CMOS. The CMOS SETUP utility allows the user to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate certain features.

The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power to the CMOS SRAM.

When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.

When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to update to a new BIOS, the "BIOSNow!" can be used.

The user can select "BIOSNow!" as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.
