CAUTION:
1. In the AR-B1579 BIOS the factory-default setting is the <Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings>
Acrosser recommends using the BIOS default settings, unless you are very familiar with the setting
function, or you can contact the technical support engineer.
2. If the BIOS loses setting, the CMOS will detect the <Auto Configuration with Fail Safe Settings> to
boot the operating system. This option will reduce the performance of the system. Acrosser
recommends choosing the <Auto Configuration with Optimal Setting> in the main menu. The option
is best-case values that should optimize system performance.
3. The BIOS settings are described in detail in this section.
5.2 STANDARD CMOS SETUP
The <Standard CMOS Setup> option allows you to record some basic system hardware configurations and set the
system clock and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in a working system, you will not need to
select this option anymore.
