Chapter 3 BIOS Setup Utility

Introduction

The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your computer, such

as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration

settings. Your computer applies the information to initialize all the components

when booting up and basic functions of coordination between system compo-

nents.

If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to

malfunction. It can even stop your computer booting properly. If it happens,

you can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory which has

stored the configuration information; or you can hold down the Page Up key

while rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also clears the

setup information.

You can run the setup utility and manually change the configuration. You might

need to do this to configure some hardware installed in or connected to the

motherboard, such as the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.

Running the Setup Utility

Every time you start your computer, a message appears on the screen before the

operating system loading that prompts you to “Hit <DEL>if you want to run

SETUP”. Whenever you see this message, press the Delete key, and the Main

menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.

You can use cursor arrow keys to highlight anyone of options on the main menu

page. Press Enter to select the highlighted option. Press the Escape key to leave

the setup utility. Press +/-/ to modify the selected field’s values.
