Preface

Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.

1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC
CONFIGURA TION decided for GIGABYTE’s “global” product offering. To better fit local market
requirements and enhance product competitiveness, your regional office MA Y have decided to
extend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability).
These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. In such
cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide you
with further technical details.

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU P ARTS, you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. For whatever reason, if a part number change is made,
it will not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For GIGABYTE-AUTHORIZED SERVICE
PROVIDERS, your GIGABYTE office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those
given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your
regional GIGABYTE office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines

BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to
configure required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the
CMOS SRAM.

ENTERING SETUP

When the power is turned on, press the <F2> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test)
will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing
"Ctrl + F1".
