Chapter 5: BIOS setup

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the 

provided utility described in section 5.1 Managing and updating your BIOS.
Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your 

system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system 

using this utility.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of 

your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or 

change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using 

the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them 

in the CMOS RAM of the firmware chip.
The firmware chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. 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, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by 

pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system 

off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.
The 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 sub-menus and make your selections from the 

available options using the navigation keys.
