Enter bIoS Setup
The BIOS is the communication bridge between hardware and software, correctly setting up the
BIOS 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 bottom 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 below:
Main
It displays the basic system configuration, such as CPU Name, memory size, system date, time
and so on. They all can be viewed or set up through this menu.
Advanced
The values for the chipset can be changed through this menu, and the system performance can
be optimized.
oC Plus
The advanced system features can be set up through this menu.
boot
Boot features can be set up through this menu. You can set the boot device priority here.
Security
The Administrator/User password can be 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 password before
boot or access to Setup.
Save&Exit
The optimal performance settings can be loaded through this menu. However, it may offer better
performance in some ways (such as less I/O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause prob-
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 unstable 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 BIOS setup here.
We do not suggest that you change the default values in the BIOS Setup, and we
shall not be responsible for any damage which resulted from the change you made.
