Chapter 4: BIOS setup

•  Save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS file to a USB flash disk 

in case you need to restore the BIOS in the future. Copy the original 

motherboard BIOS using the ASUS Update utility.

•  Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system settings such as storage 

device configuration, overclocking settings, advanced power management, and 

boot device configuration that are needed for system startup in the motherboard 

CMOS. In normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most 

conditions to ensure optimum performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS 

settings except in the following circumstances:

• 

An error message appears on the screen during the system startup and 

requests you to run the BIOS setup.

• 

You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS 

settings or update.

•  Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to system instability or boot failure. 

We strongly recommend that you change the BIOS settings with the help of 

a trained service personnel.

•  BIOS updating is potentially risky. If there is no problem in using the current 

BIOS version, DO NOT manually update the BIOS. Inappropriate BIOS 

updating may result to system boot failure.
