3.3 BIOS setup program A BIOS Setup program is provided for BIOS item modification. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility. Otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing + + , or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed. The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various submenus and select from the available options using the navigation keys. • The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen. • If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS setting, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Setup Defaults item under the Exit menu. See section 3.10 Exit Menu for details. • If the system fails to boot after changing any BIOS setting, try to clear the CMOS and reset the motherboard to the default value. See section 2.6 Jumpers for details. 3.3.1 BIOS menu screen Menu items Menu bar Configuration fields General help Main Ai Tweaker BIOS SETUP UTILITY Advanced Power Boot System Time System Date Language Primary IDE Master Primary IDE Slave SATA1 SATA2 SATA3 SATA4 Storage Configuration [13:51:25] [Fri 02/13/2009] [English] [Not Detected] [Not Detected] [HDT722516DLA380] [Not Detected] [ATAPI DVD DH1] [Not Detected] System Information Tools Exit Use [ENTER], [TAB] or [SHIFT-TAB] to select a field.
