BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic 
Input/Output System). Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do 
not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to 
run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
To activate the BIOS Utility, press 
m during POST (when “Press  to enter Setup” message is 
prompted on the bottom of screen). The setup screen displays BIOS as follows:
During setup, all Fn function keys and power saving functions are disabled. There are five menu 
options: Main, Advanced, Security, Boot and Exit. Follow these instructions below
•To choose a menu, use the cursor left/right keys (zx).
To choose a parameter, use the cursor up/down keys (wy).
To change the value of a parameter, press p or q.
Press ^ while you are in any of the menu options to go to the Exit menu.
In any menu, you can load default settings by pressing t. You can also press u to save any changes 
made and exit the BIOS Setup Utility.
NOTE: You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square brackets. Navigation keys for 
a particular menu are shown on the bottom of the screen. Help for parameters are found in the Item 
Specific Help part of the screen. Read this carefully when making changes to parameter values.
