Introduction of BIOS
The BIOS is a program located in the Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is
a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the
BIOS program gains control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST
(Power on Self Test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware devices
and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. After these tasks are
completed, BIOS will give control of the computer back to operating system (OS). Since the
BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate with, it is the key factor
of system stability and of ensuring your system performance at best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu, you can see several options. We will explain these options in
the following pages. First, let us see the function keys you may use here:
Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.

Press (up, down, left, right) to choose the option you want to confirm or modify.
Press <F10> to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu after you
complete the setup of BIOS parameters.
Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys to modify the BIOS parameters for the active option.
4-1 Enter Setup

Power on the computer and press <Del> key immediately to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your respond but you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You
may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If
you do not press the keys at the proper time and the system does not boot, an error message
will display and you will be asked to
Press <F1> to continue, <Del> to enter Setup
62
4-2 Getting Help
Main Menu
The on-line description of the highlighted setup function is displayed at the
bottom of the screen.

This section describes how to configure the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at the speed the CPU itself
keeps when CPU communicates with its own special components. This section covers some
very technical items and we strongly recommended that only experienced users should make
any change to the default settings.
