Power on the computer, when the message "Press to enter setup, Display Boot Menu" appears at the bottom of the screen, you can press key to enter Setup. ! We do not suggest that you change the default values in the BIOS Setup, and we shall not be responsible for any damage which resulted from the change you made. Use the arrow right/left keys to select a specific function and go to the submenu. Each function is explained below: Main It displays the basic system configuration, such as CPU Name, memory size, system date, time and so on. They all can be viewed or set up through this menu.

However, it may offer better performance in some ways (such as less I/O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause problem if you have more memory or I/O cards installed. It means, if your system loading is heavy, set to optimal default may sometimes come out an unstable system. What you need now is to adjust BIOS setting one by one, trial and error, to find out the best setting for your current system. You also can save or discard the changes and exit BIOS setup here. 10
