Motherboard BIOS and Setup Utility

3.10 Flash LOGO Area
The motherboard supports a 4 KB programmable FLASH user area located at EC000-ECFFF. An
OEM may use this area to display a custom logo. The BIOS accesses the user area just after
completing POST. A utility is available from Intel to assist with installing a logo into flash for
display during POST. Contact your local Intel Sales office or authorized distributor for further
information.
3.11 Setup Enable Jumper
A motherboard configuration jumper controls access to the BIOS Setup utility. By setting the
jumper to the disable position, the user is prevented from accessing the Setup utility during the
Power-on Self Test or at any other time. The message prompting the user to press <F1> to enter
setup is also disabled.
3.12 BIOS Setup Program
The ROM-based Setup utility allows the configuration to be modified without opening the system
for most basic changes. The Setup utility is accessible only during the Power-On Self Test (POST)
by pressing the <F1> key after the POST memory test has begun and before boot begins. A
prompt may be enabled that informs users to press the <F1> key to access Setup. A jumper setting
on the motherboard can be set to prevent user access to Setup for security purposes.

3.12.1 Overview of the Setup Menu Screens

The Setup program initially displays the Main menu screen. In each screen there are options for
modifying the system configuration. Select a menu screen by pressing the left <←> or right <→>
arrow keys. Use the up <↑> or down <↓> arrow keys to select items in a screen. Use the <Enter>
key to select an item for modification. For certain items, pressing <Enter> will bring up a
subscreen. After you have selected an item, use the arrow keys to modify the setting.
