Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows

theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.

Whenthepoweristurnedoff,thebatteryonthemotherboardsuppliesthenecessarypowertotheCMOSto

keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.

ToaccesstheBIOSSetupprogram,pressthe<Delete>keyduringthePOSTwhenthepoweristurnedon.

ToupgradetheBIOS,useeithertheGIGABYTEQ-Flashor@BIOSutility.

•Q-FlashallowstheusertoquicklyandeasilyupgradeorbackupBIOSwithoutenteringtheoperatingsystem.

•@BIOSisaWindows-basedutilitythatsearchesanddownloadsthelatestversionofBIOSfromtheInternet

and updates the BIOS.

•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,

itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing

may result in system malfunction.

•It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other

unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs, try to

cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe»LoadOptimizedDefaults»sectionin

this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
