BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s
BIOS (basic input/ouput 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 it. Please also refer to Chapter 6, Troubleshooting when a problem arises.
To activate the BIOS Setup Utility, press F2 during POST.
Navigating the BIOS Setup Utility
There are six menu options: Main, Advanced, Security, Others, Boot and Exit.
Follow these instructions:
• To choose a menu, use the cursor left/right keys (

• To choose a parameter, use the cursor up/down keys (

↓).
• To change the value of a parameter, press F5 or F6.
Note: You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square brackets.

• Press Esc while you are in any of the menu options to go to the Exit menu.
