2-8 Chapter 2: BIOS setup
If you want to enter Setup after POST, reboot the system by doing any of the following
procedures:
• Restart using the OS standard shut-down procedure.
• Press
++ simultaneously.
• Press the reset button on the system chassis.
• Press the power button to turn the system off then back on.
Using the power.button, reset.button, or the.++ keys to force reset from
a running operating system can cause damage to your data or system. We recommend that
you always shut down the system properly from the operating system.
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.
• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply to most conditions to ensure
optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS
settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the
Load.Setup.Defaults item under the Exit menu. See section 2.9.Exit.Menu.
• The BIOS setup screens in this section are for reference only. They may not exactly
match what you see on your screen.
