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 various configuration  
settings. Your computer applies those information 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 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.

5.1 Main 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 main menu page lead to tables of items with installed value that you can use  
cursor arrow keys to highlight on item, and press page  
Up and page Down keys to cycle through 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.
