Chapter 5 BIOS Setup
The BIOS Setup Utility record settings and information of your
computer, such as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and
variousconfigurationsettings. Yourcomputerappliesthoseinformation
to initialize all the components when booting up and basic function of
coordination between system components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system
to malfunction. It can even stop you computer booting properly. If it
happens, you can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory which
6
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
5.1Main menu
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 the F9 key to go back
to menu in BIOS. Some options on the main menu page lead to tables of
items with installed value that you can use cursor arrow keys to
highlightonitem, andpressPageUpandPageDownkeystocyclethrough
alternative values of that item. The other options on the main menu
page lead to dialog boxes that require your answer Yes or No by hitting
the Y or N keys. If you have already changed the setup utility, press
F10 to save those changes and exit the utility.
