Chapter 4: BIOS Setup
Default Configuration
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined according to the
Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are
automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions.
There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on
your system configuration.
Entering Setup
When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test
(POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an
error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways:
▪
If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of
beeps will be transmitted.
▪
If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen will
display the error message.
Powering on the computer and immediately pressing <Del> allows you
to enter Setup.
