ENTERING SETUP
Powering ON the computer and pressing immediately will allow you to enter Setup. If you require
more advanced B IOS settings, please go to " Adv anced BIOS" setting menu. To enter
Advanced BIOS setting menu, press "Ctrl+F1" key on the BIOS screen.
When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to
a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade
to a new BIOS, either Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the
operating system.
@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before
upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.
