System parameters can be modified by going into
BIOS
Setup menu, this menu allows you to configure the system parameters and
save the configuration into the 128 bytes CMOS area, (normally in the RTC chip or in the main chipset).
Phoenix-Award BIOS™ installed in the
Flash ROM
of the motherboard is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as hard disk drives, serial and parallel ports.
Most BIOS settings of AOpen i865 Family motherboards have been optimized by AOpen’s R&D engineering team. But, the default
setting of BIOS still can’t fine-tune the chipset controlling entire system. Therefore, the rest of this chapter intends to guide you the
process of configuring your system setup.
To enter to BIOS setup menu, press <Del> when
POST (Power-On Self Test)
screen is shown on your monitor.
Note:
Because the BIOS code is the most often
changed part of the motherboard design, the BIOS
information contained in this manual may be different
with actual BIOS that come with your motherboard.
