This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can
update using the provided utility described in section "2.1 Managing and
updating your BIOS."
Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard,
reconfiguring your system, or prompted to "Run Setup." This section
explains how to configure your system using this utility.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change
the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can
enable the security password feature or change the power management
settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS
Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and
record them in the CMOS RAM of the firmware hub.
The firmware hub on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you
start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to
run this program. Press «Del» during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to
enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing
<Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis.
You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this
last option only if the first two failed.
The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being
a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus
and make your selections from the available options using the navigation
keys.
^l. e The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most
conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes
unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings
to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load
Default Settings item under the Exit Menu. See section "2.7 Exit
Menu."
e The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference
purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your
screen.
e Visit the system builder's website to download the latest BIOS file
for this motherboard.
