Chapter 2: Getting started

Use the BIOS Setup program to update the BIOS or configure its parameters. The BIOS 

screens include navigation keys and brief online help to guide you in using the BIOS Setup 

program.

Press <Delete> during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you do not press <Delete>, 

POST continues with its routines.

Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> simultaneously. 
Press the reset button on the system chassis. 
Press the power button to turn the system off then back on. Do this option only if you 

failed to enter BIOS Setup using the first two options.

Using the power button, reset button, or the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> keys to force reset from 

a running operating system can cause damage to your data or system. We recommend to 

always shut down the system properly from the operating system.
