3.1 
Knowing BIOS
The new ASUS UEFI BIOS is an Unified Extensible Firmware Interface that complies with 
UEFI architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-
only BIOS controls to enable more flexible and convenient mouse input. Users can easily 
navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as their operating system. The 
term “BIOS” in this user manual refers to “UEFI BIOS” unless otherwise specified. 
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware 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. We recommend that you not change the default BIOS settings except in 
the following circumstances: 
•  An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you to 
run the BIOS Setup.
•  You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or 
update.
Inappropriate settings of the BIOS may result to instability or failure to boot. We strongly 
recommend that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service 
personnel.

BIOS setup program
A BIOS setup program is provided for BIOS item modification. When you start up the 
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del> 
during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility. Otherwise, POST continues 
with its test routines.
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or press the reset 
button on the system chassis to restart the system. You can also turn the system off and then 
turn it back on to restart the system. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and 
may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
• 
Ensure that a USB mouse is connected to your motherboard if you want to use the 
mouse to control the BIOS setup program.
• 
If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS setting, load the default 
settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Optimized 
Defaults item under the Exit menu. See section 3.9 Exit Menu for details.
• 
If the system fails to boot after changing any BIOS setting, try to clear the CMOS and 
reset the motherboard to the default value. See section 2.2.5 Jumper for information 
on how to erase the RTC RAM.
• 
The BIOS setup program does not support the bluetooth devices.
The BIOS setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a  
menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various submenus and select from the 
available options using a keyboard or a USB mouse.
The BIOS setup program can be used under two modes: EZ Mode and Advanced Mode
You can change modes from the Exit menu or from the Exit/Advanced Mode button in the 
EZ Mode/Advanced Mode screen.
