3. BIOS Setup
4. Driver Installation
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings
that is needed for system initiation as well as examining the CMOS. Its CMOS SETUP utility
allows the user to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate
certain features.
The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power
to the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On
Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please
press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.
When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS
onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to
update to a new BIOS, the BIOSNow! can be used.
The user can select BIOSNow! as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS
without entering the operating system.
Driver installation for the Windows 2000/XP operating systems is simple. Once you insert
the provided driver disks into your optical drive, the AUTORUN screen will appear. If this
screen does not appear, you can use "D:\setup.exe" (with "D" being the specified drive) to
bring up the screen shown below. Just follow the screen instructions to easily complete
driver installation.
