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.
