BIOS Setup
The motherboard supports two 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 45.
All computer motherboards provide a Setup utility program for specifying
the system configuration and settings.
If your motherboard came in a com-
puter system, the proper configuration entries may have already been made.
If so, invoke the Setup utility, as described later, and take note of the con-
figuration settings for future reference; in particular, the hard disk specifi-
cations.
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 computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this pro-
gram.
This appears 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 pre-
venting you from calling up Setup.
If you still need to call Setup, reset the
system by simultaneously 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 fol-
lowing options:
