Chapter 5 BIOS Setup

The BIOS setup Utility record settings and information of your computer,

such as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration

settings. Your computer applies those information to initialize all the

components when booting up and basic function of coordination between system

components.

If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to

malfunction. It can even stop you computer booting properly. If it happens, you

can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory which has stored

the configuration information; or you can hold down the Page

Up Key while rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also

clears the setup information.

5.1 Main menu

You can use cursor arrow keys to highlight anyone of options on the main menu

page. Press Enter to select the highlighted option. Press the Escape key to leave

the setup utility. Press the F9 key to go back to menu in BIOS. Some options on

the main menu page lead to tables of items with installed value that you can use

cursor arrow keys to highlight on item, and press page

Up and page Down keys to cycle through alternative values of that item. The

other options on the main menu page lead to dialog boxes that require your

answer Yes or No by hitting the Y or N keys. If you have already changed the

setup utility, press F10 to save those changes and exit the utility.
