The �IOS is the communication �ridge �etween hardware and software, correctly setting up the
�IOS parameters is critical to maintain optimal system performance. Power on the computer,
when the message "
Press to enter Setup, to Boot Menu" appears at the �ottom of
the screen, you can press key to enter Setup.
Use the arrow right�left keys to select a specific function and go to the submenu. Each function is
explained �elow:
Main
It displays the basic system configuration, such as CPU Name, memory size, system date,
time and so on. They all can �e viewed or set up through this menu.
f-Center
Some special proprietary features (such as overclocking) can �e set up through this menu.
Advanced
The advanced system features can �e set up through this menu.
Boot
�oot features can �e set up through this menu. You can set the �oot device priority and ena�le
"Quiet Boot" feature here.

All the items related with Green function features can �e setup through this menu.
Health
This setup ena�les you to read�change fan speeds, and displays temperatures and voltages of
your CPU�System.
Security
The Administrator�User password can �e set up through this menu to prevent unauthorized
use of your computer. If you set a password, the system will ask you to key in correct pass-
word �efore �oot or access to Setup.
Save&Exit
The optimal performance settings can �e loaded through this menu. However, it may offer �et-
ter performance in some ways (such as less I�O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause
pro�lem if you have more memory or I�O cards installed. It means, if your system loading is
heavy, set to optimal default may sometimes come out an unsta�le system. What you need
now is to adjust BIOS setting one by one, trial and error, to find out the best setting for your
current system. You also can save or discard the changes and exit �IOS setup here.
We do not suggest that you change the default values in the �IOS Setup, and we shall
not �e responsi�le for any damage which resulted from the change you made.
