BIOS SETUP
Load Fail-Safe Defaults
This option allows you to load the troubleshooting default values
permanently stored in the BIOS ROM. These default settings are non-
optimal and disable all high-performance features.
Load Optimized Defaults
This option allows you to load the default values to your system
configuration. These default settings are optimal and enable all high
performance features.
Set Supervisor/User Password
These two options set the system password. Supervisor Password sets a
password that will be used to protect the system and Setup utility. User
Password sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system.
To specify a password, highlight the type you want and press <Enter>.
The Enter Password: message prompts on the screen. Type the
password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
system confirms your password by asking you to type it again. After
setting a password, the screen automatically returns to the main
screen.
To disable a password, just press the <Enter> key when you are
prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password
to be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and
you can enter Setup freely.
Save & Exit Setup
This option allows you to determine whether or not to accept the
modifications. If you type “Y”, you will quit the setup utility and save
all changes into the CMOS memory. If you type “N”, you will return
to Setup utility.
Exit Without Saving
Select this option to exit the Setup utility without saving the changes
you have made in this session. Typing “Y” will quit the Setup utility
without saving the modifications. Typing “N” will return you to Setup
utility.
