Chapter 3 BIOS Setup
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge
between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program will
gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all
the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of
the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of
the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and
software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring that your system
performance as its best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these
options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of
the function keys you may use here:
Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
Press (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to confirm or
to modify.
Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters and
to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the active
option.
3.1 Entering Setup
Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system
to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You
may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If you do not
press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed
and you will again be asked to
Press <Del> to enter Setup
