1. Introduction

This manual describes the KT965/Flex, KT965/ATXP and KT965/ATXE boards made by KONTRON
Technology A/S. The boards will also be denoted KT965 family if no differentiation is required.

All boards are to be used with the Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Duo, Intel® Pentium® 4 and the
Intel® Celeron® D Processors.
These belong to the Intel Conroe and Cedar Mill processor families.

Use of this manual implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the KT965 Board’s special features and is not intended to be a standard PC-AT textbook.

New users are recommended to study the short installation procedure stated in chapter 3 before switching­on the power.

All configuration and setup of the CPU board is either done automatically or by the user in the CMOS setup
menus. Except for the CMOS Clear jumper, no jumper configuration is required.

2. Installation procedure

2.1 Installing the board

To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON Technology
has CPU, DDR DRAM and Cooler mounted. In this case Step 2-4 can be skipped.

1. Turn off the power supply

Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU)

or leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Otherwise

!

2. Insert the DDR2 DIMM 240pin DRAM module(s)

3. Install the processor

Opening the socket:

Note: Apply pressure to the corner with right hand thumb while opening/closing the load lever, otherwise
lever can bounce back like a “mouse trap” and WILL cause bent contacts (when loaded)

Remove Socket Protective Cover

With left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage protective cover finger tab with
right hand thumb and peel the cover from LGA775 Socket while pressing on center of protective cover to
assist in removal.
Set protective cover aside. Always put cover back on if the processor is removed from the socket.

IMPORTANT:

components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged.
Do not use PSU’s without 3.3V monitoring watchdog, which is standard feature in ATX PSU’s.
Runnin

Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR2 DIMM modules
contact your Distributor or FAE.
DDR2-800 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC6400) are supported.

The CPU is keyed and will only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use the handle to open/ close the
CPU socket. The Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Duo, Intel® Pentium® 4 and the Intel® Celeron®
D Processors in LGA775 package are supported, refer to supported processor overview for details.

1. Disengage Load Lever by depressing down and out on the hook to clear retention tab

2. Rotate Load Lever to fully open position at approximately 135°

3. Rotate Load Plate to fully open position at approximately 100°

For return goods (RMA): warranty is void if board is returned without Protective cover.

the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.

NOTE: Regardless of the Memory
configuration used, DDR2 SLOT 1 (J1)
must always be populated.

Do NOT touch socket contacts

KT965 Family

KTD-00699-S Public User Manual Date: 2010-04-15 Page 9 of 90

Visually inspect protective cover for damage

If damage observed, replace the cover.
NOTE: After cover removal, make sure socket load plate and contacts are free of foreign material. Debris
may be removed with compressed air.
NOTE: Removing protective cover after CPU insertion will compromise the ability to visually inspect socket.

Processor Installation

Locate Connection 1 indicator and the two orientation key notches.
Grasp the processor with thumb and index finger. (Grasp the edges without the orientation notches.) The
socket has cutouts for your fingers to fit into.
Carefully place the package into the socket body using a purely vertical motion. (Tilting the processor into
place or shifting it into place on the socket can damage the sensitive socket contacts.)
CAUTION: Recommend not to use a Vacuum Pen for installation.
Verify that package is within the socket body and properly mated to the orientation keys
Close the socket by:

A. Close the Load Plate
B. While pressing down lightly on Load Plate, engage the Load Lever.
C. Secure Load Lever with Load Plate tab under retention tab of Load Lever

4. Cooler Installation

Use heat paste or adhesive pads between CPU and cooler and connect the Fan electrically to the
FAN_CPU connector.

5. Connecting Interfaces

Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to
change CMOS settings to flat panel support. When using bootable SATA disk, then connect to SATA0 or
SATA2 or select in BIOS “ATA/IDE Configuration” = Enhanced.

6. Connect Power supply

Connect power supply to the board by the ATX/ BTXPWR and 4-pin ATX connectors. For board to operate
connection of both the ATX/BTX and 4-pin ATX (12V) connectors are required.

7. Turn on the power on the ATX/ BTX power supply

8. Power Button

The PWRBTN_IN must be toggled to start the Power supply; this is done by shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN) and pin 18 (GND) on the FRONTPNL connector (see Connector description). A “normally
open” switch can be connected via the FRONTPNL connector.

9. BIOS Setup

Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <Del> key during boot up. Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“
section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
Enter Advanced Menu / CPU Configuration / Intel SpeedStep Tech. and set this option to “Maximum
Performance”.

Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clr-CMOS jumper (with or

without power) for approximately 1 minute. Alternatively turn off power and remove the battery for 1
minute, but be careful to orientate the battery correctly when reinserted.

10. Mounting the board to chassis

!

When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and
having diameter of ~7mm.

Note: Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB mounting hole and may cause short

circuits.

Warning: When mounting the board to chassis etc. please notice that the board contains

components on both sides of the PCB which can easily be damaged if board is handled
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.

3.4 System Memory support

The KT965 boards have four onboard DDR2 DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:

• 1.8V (only) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

• DDR2 800 (PC6400), DDR2 667 (PC5300) or DDR2 533 MHz (PC4200) SDRAM DIMMs

• DDR2 800 DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP)

• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs

with x16 organization are not supported.

• 8 GB maximum total system memory using 64-bit OS. (Shared Video Memory is withdrawn).

• 4 GB maximum total system memory using 32-bit OS. ~3GB is displayed in System Properties.

(Shared Video Memory is withdrawn).

• Minimum total system memory: 512 MB

• Non-ECC DIMMs

• Serial Presence Detect

The installed DDR2 SDRAM should support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows
the BIOS to read and configure the memory controller for optimal performance. If non-SPD memory is used,
the BIOS will attempt to configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted.

Important: If only one Memory module is used then use DDR2 SLOT 1.

3.4.1 Memory Operating Frequencies

Regardless of the DIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal to or less than the processor
system bus frequency. For example, if DDR2 800 memory is used with a 533 MHz system bus frequency
processor, the memory will operate at 533 MHz. The table below lists the resulting operating memory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.

DIMM Type Processor system

bus frequency

DDR2 533 533 MHz 533 MHz

DDR2 533 800 MHz 533 MHz
DDR2 533 1066 MHz 533 MHz

DDR2 667 533 MHz 533 MHz
DDR2 667 800 MHz 667 MHz
DDR2 667 1066 MHz 667 MHz
DDR2 800 533 MHz 533 MHz
DDR2 800 800 MHz 800 MHz
DDR2 800 1066 MHz 800 MHz

3.4.2 Memory Configurations

The KT965 boards support the following three types of memory organization:

Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput. Dual channel mode is enabled

when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can
vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If
different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation. This

mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels,
the slowest memory timing will be used.

KT965 Family

KTD-00699-S Public User Manual Date: 2010-04-15 Page 17 of 90

Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics. The bottommost DRAM

memory (the memory that is lowest within the system memory map) is mapped to dual channel operation;
the topmost DRAM memory (the memory that is nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped
to single channel operation. Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single channel operation across
the whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is necessary to populate both channels.

**IMPORTANT NOTE:
Regardless of the memory configuration used (dual channel, single channel, or flex mode), DDR2
SLOT 1 must always be populated.

The below tables shows examples of possible Memory slot configurations for the support of the various
Memory modes.

Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configurations

Channel A Channel B

DDR2 DIMM 0 (SLOT 1) DDR2 DIMM 1 (SLOT 2) DDR2 DIMM 0 (SLOT 3) DDR2 DIMM 1 (SLOT 4)

1 GB 1 GB
512 MB 512 MB 1 GB
512 MB 1 GB 512 MB 1 GB

In these examples the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A equals the combined capacity of
the two DIMMs in Channel B.

Single Channel (Asymmetric) Mode Configurations

Channel A Channel B

DDR2 DIMM 0 (SLOT 1) DDR2 DIMM 1 (SLOT 2) DDR2 DIMM 0 (SLOT 3) DDR2 DIMM 1 (SLOT 4)

In these examples the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A does not equal the capacity of the
DIMMs in Channel B.

Channel A Channel B

DDR2 DIMM 0 (SLOT 1) DDR2 DIMM 1 (SLOT 2) DDR2 DIMM 0 (SLOT 3) DDR2 DIMM 1 (SLOT 4)

512 MB 1 GB

The 512 MB DIMM in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket and the lower 512 MB of the DIMM in the Channel B,
DIMM 0 socket operate together in dual channel mode. The remaining (upper) 512 MB of the DIMM in
Channel B operates in single channel mode.

3.5 KT965 Graphics Subsystem

The KT965 boards use the Intel Q965 Express chipset for the graphical control. This chipset contains two
separate, mutually exclusive graphics options. Either the GMA 3000 graphics controller (contained within the
82Q965 GMCH) is used, or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used. When a PCI Expressx16 add-in
card is installed, the GMA 3000 graphics controller is disabled.

• Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) support up to 256 MB

3.5.2 Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)

DVMT enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through highly efficient memory utilization.
DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory for maximum 2-D/3-D graphics
performance. Up to 256 MB of system memory can be allocated to DVMT on systems that have 512 MB or
more of total system memory installed. DVMT returns system memory back to the operating system when
the
additional system memory is no longer required by the graphics subsystem.
DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS Setup) for
compatibility with legacy applications. An example of this would be when using VGA graphics under DOS.
Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drivers allocate additional system memory to the graphics
buffer as needed for performing graphics functions.

IMPORTANT: The use of DVMT requires driver support by the operating system.

3.5.3 Advanced Digital Display (ADD2) card Support

The KT965 board routes two multiplexed SDVO ports that are each capable of driving up to a 200 MHz pixel
clock to the PCI Express x16 connector. The SDVO ports can be paired for a dual channel configuration to
support up to a 400 MHz pixel clock. When an ADD2 card is detected, the Intel GMA 3000 graphics
controller is enabled and the PCI Express x16 connector is configured for SDVO mode. SDVO mode
enables the SDVO ports to be accessed by the ADD2 card. An ADD2 card can either be configured to
support simultaneous display with the primary VGA display or can be configured to support dual independent
display as an extended desktop configuration with different color depths and resolutions.

ADD2 cards can be designed to support the following configurations:

• TV-Out (composite video)

• Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) for DVI 1.0

• Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)

• Single device operating in dual channel mode

Control signal description:

Signal Description

P_OK

Pull

U/D

Pull

U/D

P_OK is a power good signal and should be asserted high by the power supply to indicate
that the +5VDC and +3.3VDC outputs are above the undervoltage thresholds of the power
supply. When this signal is asserted high, there should be sufficient energy stored by the
converter to guarantee continuous power operation within specification. Conversely, when
the output voltages fall below the undervoltage threshold, or when mains power has been
removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed,
P_OK should be de-asserted to a low state. The recommended electrical and timing

characteristics of the P_OK (PWR_OK) signal are provided in the ATX12V Power
SupplyDesign Guide.

It is strongly recommended to use an ATX or BTX supply with the KT965 boards, in order to
implement the supervision of the 5V and 3V3 supplies. These supplies are not supervised
onboard the KT965 boards.

4.6 Serial ATA harddisk interface

The KT965 boards have an integrated SATA Host controller that supports independent DMA operation on
six ports and data transfer rates of up to 3.0Gb/s (300MB/s). The SATA controller supports AHCI mode and
has integrated RAID functionality with support for RAID modes 0, 1, 5 and 10 (Linux O/S only support for
RAID 0 and 1).
The board provides six Serial ATA (SATA) connectors, which support one device per connector.
The ICH8DO’s Serial ATA controller offers six independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretical maximum
transfer rate of 3 Gbits/sec per port. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of six Serial
ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which
supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.
For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The Serial
ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ
resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI Conventional bus resource steering
is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows XP and Windows 2000
operating systems.

The KT965 supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:

• RAID 0 - data striping

• RAID 1 - data mirroring

• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring

• RAID 5 - distributed parity

Limitations depending on Target Operating System apply.

Clock provides timing for all transactions on PCI and is an input to every PCI device. All other PCI signals,
except RST#, INTA#, INTB#, INTC#, and INTD#, are sampled on the rising edge of CLK and all other
timing parameters are defined with respect to this edge. PCI operates at 33 MHz.
Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers, and signals to a consistent state. What effect
RST# has on a device beyond the PCI sequencer is beyond the scope of this specification, except for
reset states of required PCI configuration registers. Anytime RST# is asserted, all PCI output signals must
be driven to their benign state. In general, this means they must be asynchronously tri-stated. SERR#
(open drain) is floated. REQ# and GNT# must both be tri-stated (they cannot be driven low or high during
reset). To prevent AD, C/BE#, and PAR signals from floating during reset, the central resource may drive
these lines during reset (bus parking) but only to a logic low level–they may not be driven high.
RST# may be asynchronous to CLK when asserted or deasserted. Although asynchronous, deassertion is
guaranteed to be a clean, bounce-free edge. Except for configuration accesses, only devices that are
required to boot the system will respond after reset.

Address and Data are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A bus transaction consists of an address phase
followed by one or more data phases. PCI supports both read and write bursts.
The address phase is the clock cycle in which FRAME# is asserted. During the address phase AD[31::00]
contain a physical address (32 bits). For I/O, this is a byte address; for configuration and memory, it is a
DWORD address. During data phases AD[07::00] contain the least significant byte (lsb) and AD[31::24]
contain the most significant byte (msb). Write data is stable and valid when IRDY# is asserted and read
data is stable and valid when TRDY# is asserted. Data is transferred during those clocks where both
IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.
Bus Command and Byte Enables are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a
transaction, C/BE[3::0]# define the bus command. During the data phase C/BE[3::0]# are used as Byte
Enables. The Byte Enables are valid for the entire data phase and determine which byte lanes carry
meaningful data. C/BE[0]# applies to byte 0 (lsb) and C/BE[3]# applies to byte 3 (msb).
Parity is even parity across AD[31::00] and C/BE[3::0]#. Parity generation is required by all PCI agents.
PAR is stable and valid one clock after the address phase. For data phases, PAR is stable and valid one
clock after either IRDY# is asserted on a write transaction or TRDY# is asserted on a read transaction.
Once PAR is valid, it remains valid until one clock after the completion of the current data phase. (PAR
has the same timing as AD[31::00], but it is delayed by one clock.) The master drives PAR for address and
write data phases; the target drives PAR for read data phases.

Cycle Frame is driven by the current master to indicate the beginning and duration of an access. FRAME#
is asserted to indicate a bus transaction is beginning. While FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue.
When FRAME# is deasserted, the transaction is in the final data phase or has completed.
Initiator Ready indicates the initiating agent’s (bus master’s) ability to complete the current data phase of
the transaction. IRDY# is used in conjunction with TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock both
IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present on
AD[31::00]. During a read, it indicates the master is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until
both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.
Target Ready indicates the target agent’s (selected device’s) ability to complete the current data phase of
the transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock both
TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted. During a read, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on
AD[31::00]. During a write, it indicates the target is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until
both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.
Stop indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the current transaction.

Lock indicates an atomic operation that may require multiple transactions to complete. When LOCK# is
asserted, non-exclusive transactions may proceed to an address that is not currently locked. A grant to
start a transaction on PCI does not guarantee control of LOCK#. Control of LOCK# is obtained under its
own protocol in conjunction with GNT#. It is possible for different agents to use PCI while a single master
retains ownership of LOCK#. If a device implements Executable Memory, it should also implement LOCK#
and guarantee complete access exclusion in that memory. A target of an access that supports LOCK#
must provide exclusion to a minimum of 16 bytes (aligned). Host bridges that have system memory behind
them should implement LOCK# as a target from the PCI bus point of view and optionally as a master.
Initialization Device Select is used as a chip select during configuration read and write transactions.

Device Select, when actively driven, indicates the driving device has decoded its address as the target of
the current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has been selected.

The error reporting pins are required by all devices and maybe asserted when enabled

PERR#

SERR#

INTERRUPT PINS (OPTIONAL).

Interrupts on PCI are optional and defined as “level sensitive,” asserted low (negative true), using open drain output
drivers. The assertion and deassertion of INTx# is asynchronous to CLK. A device asserts its INTx# line when requesting
attention from its device driver. Once the INTx# signal is asserted, it remains asserted until the device driver clears the
pending request. When the request is cleared, the device deasserts its INTx# signal. PCI defines one interrupt line for a
single function device and up to four interrupt lines for a multi-function device or connector. For a single function device,
only INTA# may be used while the other three interrupt lines have no meaning.

INTA#

INTB#

INTC#

INTD#

Request indicates to the arbiter that this agent desires use of the bus. This is a point to point signal. Every
master has its own REQ# which must be tri-stated while RST# is asserted.
Grant indicates to the agent that access to the bus has been granted. This is a point to point signal. Every
master has its own GNT# which must be ignored while RST# is asserted.
While RST# is asserted, the arbiter must ignore all REQ# lines since they are tri-stated and do not contain
a valid request. The arbiter can only perform arbitration after RST# is deasserted. A master must ignore its
GNT# while RST# is asserted. REQ# and GNT# are tri-state signals due to power sequencing
requirements when 3.3V or 5.0V only add-in boards are used with add-in boards that use a universal I/O
buffer.

Parity Error is only for the reporting of data parity errors during all PCI transactions except a Special Cycle.
The PERR# pin is sustained tri-state and must be driven active by the agent receiving data two clocks
following the data when a data parity error is detected. The minimum duration of PERR# is one clock for
each data phase that a data parity error is detected. (If sequential data phases each have a data parity
error, the PERR# signal will be asserted for more than a single clock.) PERR# must be driven high for one
clock before being tri-stated as with all sustained tri-state signals. There are no special conditions when a
data parity error may be lost or when reporting of an error may be delayed. An agent cannot report a
PERR# until it has claimed the access by asserting DEVSEL# (for a target) and completed a data phase
or is the master of the current transaction.
System Error is for reporting address parity errors, data parity errors on the Special Cycle command, or
any other system error where the result will be catastrophic. If an agent does not want a non-maskable
interrupt (NMI) to be generated, a different reporting mechanism is required. SERR# is pure open drain
and is actively driven for a single PCI clock by the agent reporting the error. The assertion of SERR# is
synchronous to the clock and meets the setup and hold times of all bused signals. However, the restoring
of SERR# to the deasserted state is accomplished by a weak pullup (same value as used for s/t/s) which
is provided by the system designer and not by the signaling agent or central resource. This pull-up may
take two to three clock periods to fully restore SERR#. The agent that reports SERR#s to the operating
system does so anytime SERR# is sampled asserted.

Interrupt A is used to request an interrupt.

Interrupt B is used to request an interrupt and only has meaning on a multi-function device.

Interrupt C is used to request an interrupt and only has meaning on a multi-function device.

Interrupt D is used to request an interrupt and only has meaning on a multi-function device.

7. Overview of BIOS features

This Manual section details specific BIOS features for the KT965 boards.
The KT965 boards are based on the AMI BIOS core version 8.10 with Kontron BIOS extensions.

7.1 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS / DMI)

SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a
managed network.

The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains
information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can
obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components.

The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS
enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS.

The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:

• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level

• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags

• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed

• Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging

Non-Plug and Play operating systems, such as Windows NT*, require an additional interface for obtaining
the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using
this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can
obtain the SMBIOS information.

7.2 Legacy USB Support

Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboards, mice, and hubs to be used even when the
operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup
program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to
Enabled.

Legacy USB support operates as follows:

1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.

2. POST begins.

3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to enter and
configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.

4. POST completes.

5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards and mice are
recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboards and mice are not
recognized during this period if Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup
program.)

6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are
recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used.

To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup
program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.

8. BIOS Configuration / Setup

8.1 Introduction

The BIOS Setup is used to view and configure BIOS settings for the KT965 board. The BIOS Setup is
accessed by pressing the DEL key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the
operating system boot begins. The Menu bar look like this:
