Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE V2 User Manual

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.
Whenthepoweristurnedoff,thebatteryonthemotherboardsuppliesthenecessarypowertotheCMOSto
keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.
ToaccesstheBIOSSetupprogram,pressthe<Delete>keyduringthePOSTwhenthepoweristurnedon.
ToupgradetheBIOS,useeithertheGIGABYTEQ-Flashor@BIOSutility.
• Q-FlashallowstheusertoquicklyandeasilyupgradeorbackupBIOSwithoutenteringtheoperatingsystem.
• @BIOSisaWindows-basedutilitythatsearchesanddownloadsthelatestversionofBIOSfromtheInternet
and updates the BIOS.
• BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,
itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing
may result in system malfunction.
• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other
unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, try to
cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe"LoadOptimizedDefaults"sectionin
this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
2-1 Startup Screen
The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.
Function Keys
• Whenthesystemisnotstableasusual,selecttheLoad Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults.
• The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.
TherearetwodifferentBIOSmodesasfollowsandyoucanusethe<F2>keytoswitchbetweenthetwomodes.
The Classic Setup mode provides detailed BIOS settings. You can press the arrow keys on your keyboard to move
amongtheitemsandpress<Enter>toacceptorenterasub-menu.Oryoucanuseyourmousetoselecttheitemyou
want. Easy Mode allows users to quickly view their current system information or to make adjustments for optimum
performance.InEasyMode,youcanuseyourmousetomovethroughcongurationitems.
