BIOS Setup Program

This chapter tells how to use the Setup program built into the system
BIOS.

The Setup program allows you to change the configuration (such as
the type of peripherals installed) and the boot-up sequence of the
system BIOS. The Setup parameters are stored in CMOS random
access memory (RAM) and is backed up by a battery when power to
the system is off.

Keep a reference of your system’s setup parameters and update this
record when settings are changed.

To use the Setup program, reboot the system and press [F1] when
you see the message “Press F1 to Enter Setup”. You have about 5
seconds to press [F1] before the boot process continues.

Note: You can disable access to the Setup program in system BIOS
using a configuration board jumper. See page 2–6.

If you can’t enter BIOS Setup:

n Check position BIOS enable jumper, see Chapter 2. The jumper

may be set so that access to the BIOS Setup is disabled. If the
jumper enables access to BIOS Setup, you may have to clear
CMOS RAM to default values. This is done by moving the Clear
CMOS jumper to the Clear position and cycling power. You can
then reconfigure the setup values.
