Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

3.1 - About the BIOS

The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables

your hardware to interface with your software. The BIOS determines what a computer can

do without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains all the code required to

control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of

miscellaneous functions. This chapter describes the various BIOS settings that can be

used to configure your system.

The BIOS section of this manual is subject to change without notice and is provided for

reference purposes only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the

time of print and are subject to change, and therefore may not match exactly what is

displayed on screen.

This section describes the BIOS setup program. The setup program lets you modify basic

configuration settings. The settings are then stored in a dedicated, battery-backed

memory (called NVRAM) that retains the information even when the power is turned off.

To start the BIOS setup utility:

1. Turn on or reboot your system.

2. Press <F2> during POST to start the BIOS setup utility.
