BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Out System) includes a CMOS Setup utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the Power-On Self test will take you to the CMOS Setup screen. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again.
