BIOS Setup Utility
This utility is a hardware configuration program built into a computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System).
The utility is pre-configured and optimized so most users do not need to run it. If configuration
problems occur, the setup utility may need to be run. Refer to Chapter 4, Troubleshooting when
a problem arises.
To activate the utility, press
F2 during POST (power-on self-test) when prompted at the bottom of
screen.
The default parameter of F12 Boot Menu is set to Disabled. To change the boot device without
entering BIOS Setup Utility, set the parameter to Enabled.
To change the boot device without entering the BIOS SETUP, press F12 during POST to enter the
multi-boot menu.
