BIOS Setup

Entering the BIOS Setup

To enter the BIOS Setup, turn on or reboot the 650.

Press the DEL key after the BIOS sign-on screen appears and it has displayed Initializing USB Controllers… Done. It will display Entering Setup…

The main menu of the BIOS setup will be displayed; this can take a few seconds. If the supervisor password is set, you must enter it here.

The area on the right side of the screen displays a help window for the current screen or BIOS option.

Warning: The BIOS setting should only be changed as required. Changing a setting or loading defaults may stop your system from working if it required a non-default setting.

>For example, in a system set up for RAID if you find you need assistance, please contact J2 for technical support.
