2.2 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.
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 to always shut down the system properly from the operating system.
• 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 Setups Default item under the Exit Menu. See section 2.9 Exit menu.
