2.Turn on the system and enter the BIOS by pressing the <Delete> key during the Power On Self-Tests (POST).

3.In the Instant Music Configuration menu, select the item Instant Music and set it to Enabled. See section 5.4.1 “Instant Music Configuration” on page 98.

4.The Instant Music CD-ROM Drive item appears if you enable Instant Music. Highlight the item then press <Enter> to display the CD-ROM options.

5.Save your changes and exit BIOS Setup.

• The Scroll Lock LED is fixed to ON after you enable Instant Music.

• The Caps Lock LED turns ON when you pause the CD playback.

•When set to Instant Music mode, the system wake-up features (LAN, keyboard, mouse, USB) are deactivated. In this case, power up the system using the power switch.

•If the system loses connection or does not detect any optical drive, the Instant Music feature turns OFF (disabled) automatically. A “beep” indicates this condition.
