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

operating system to reboot can cause damage to your data or system. We recommend you 

always shut down the system properly from the operating system.

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.

To enter BIOS Setup at startup:

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

POST continues with its routines.

To enter BIOS Setup after POST:

•  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.

•  The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may 

not exactly match what you see on your screen. 

•  Connect a USB mouse to your motherboard if you want to use the mouse to control the 

BIOS setup program.

•  The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply to most conditions. If the system 

becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure 

system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Optimized Defaults item under the 

Exit Menu. See section 2.9 Exit Menu.

•  If the system fails to boot after changing any BIOS setting, clear the CMOS and reset 

the motherboard settings to its default values. Refer to section 1.6 Jumpers on how to 

erase the RTC RAM.

•  The BIOS setup program does not support bluetooth devices.
