6. BIOS Setup
The motherboard supports two types of programmable Flash ROM chips: 5 Volt
and 12 Volt. Either of these memory chips can be updated when BIOS upgrades are
released. Use the Flash Memory Writer utility to download the new BIOS file into
the ROM chip as described in detail on page 47.
All computer motherboards provide a Setup utility program for specifying the sys-
tem configuration and settings. If your motherboard came in a computer system, the
proper configuration entries may have already been made. If so, invoke the Setup
utility, as described later, and take note of the configuration settings for future refer-
ence; in particular, the hard disk specifications.
If you are installing the motherboard, reconfiguring your system or you receive a
Run Setup message, you will need to enter new setup information. This section
describes how to configure your system using this utility.
The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the com-
puter, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This ap-
pears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press the
<Delete> key to call up the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the
mentioned key(s), POST will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you
from calling up Setup. If you still need to call Setup, reset the system by simulta-
neously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the Reset
button on the system case. You can also restart by turning the system off and then
back on again.
When you invoke Setup, the main program screen will appear with the following
options:
