Save & Exit Setup

Once you are finished making your selections, choose this option from the Exit menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM. The CMOS RAM is sustained by an onboard backup battery and stays on even when the PC is turned off. When you select this option, a confirmation window appears. Select [Yes] to save changes and exit.

Exit Without Saving

Select this option if you do not want to save the changes you made to the Setup program. If you made changes to other fields other than system date, time, and password, the BIOS asks for a confirmation before you exit the BIOS Setup.

Press <Y> to load fail-safe values. Select Save & Exit or make other changes before saving the values to the non-volatile RAM.

Load Optimized Defaults

This option allows you to load the optimized values for each of the parameters on the Setup menus. When you select this option or if you press <F7>, a confirmation window appears. Press <Y> to load optimized values. Select Save & Exit or make other changes before saving the values to the non-volatile RAM.
