BIOS setup program

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.

Entering BIOS Setup at startup

To enter BIOS Setup at startup:
• Press during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you do not press ,

POST continues with its routines.

Entering BIOS Setup after POST

To enter BIOS Setup after POST:
• Press ++ 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.

Ensure that a USB mouse is connected to your motherboard if you want to use the

mouse to control the BIOS setup program.

The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for 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 Optimized Defaults item under the Exit Menu. See section 2.9 Exit Menu.

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

reset the motherboard to the default value. Refer to section 1.7 Jumpers on how to

erase the RTC RAM.

The BIOS setup program does not support the bluetooth devices.

BIOS menu screen

The BIOS setup program can be used under two modes: EZ Mode and Advanced Mode.

You can change modes from the Exit menu or from the Exit/Advanced Mode button in the

EZ Mode/Advanced Mode screen.
