Chapter : BIOS setup

Exit & Discard Changes

Select this option only if you do not want to save the changes that you made to

the Setup program. If you made changes to fields other than System Date, System

Time, and Password, the BIOS asks for a confirmation before exiting.

Discard Changes

Allows you to discard the selections you made and restore the previously saved

values. After selecting this option, a confirmation appears. Select OK to discard

any changes and load the previously saved values.

Load Setup Defaults

Allows you to load the default values for each of the parameters on the Setup

menus. When you select this option or if you press , a confirmation window

appears. Select OK to load default values. Select Exit & Save Changes or make

other changes before saving the values to the non-volatile RAM.

Exit & Save Changes

Once you are finished making your selections, choose this option from the Exit

menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM. An onboard

backup battery sustains the CMOS RAM so it stays on even when the computer is

turned off. When you select this option, a confirmation window appears. Select OK

to save the changes and exit.

If you attempt to exit the Setup program without saving your changes, the

program prompts you with a message asking if you want to save your changes

before exiting. Press to save the changes while exiting.
