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
theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to
keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.
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.
•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,
itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing
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
cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe»LoadOptimizedDefaults»sectionin
this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
2-1 Startup Screen
The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.
•When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults.
•The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.
Function Keys
There are two different BIOS modes as follows and you can use the <F2> key to switch between the two modes.
The Classic Setup mode provides detailed BIOS settings. You can press the arrow keys on your keyboard to
move among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter a sub-menu. Or you can use your mouse to select
the item you want.
Easy Mode allows users to quickly view their current system information or to make adjustments for optimum
performance.InEasyMode,youcanuseyourmousetomovethroughcongurationitems.

Chapter 3 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 configuration 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 configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the 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.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, please navigate to
the “Unique Features” page of GIGABYTE’s website and search for “BIOS Update
Utilities.”
- Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing 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 introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 2 or navigate to the “BIOS Setup” page of GIGABYTE’s website and search for “Load Optimized Defaults” for how to clear the CMOS values.

Canada, Canada-Industry Notice:
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference, and
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Caution: When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted
to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15-to 5.25-GHz frequency range.
Industry Canada requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency
range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference
to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the
primary user of the 5.25-to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands. These radar
stations can cause interference with and/or damage to this device. The maximum
allowed antenna gain for use with this device is 6dBi in order tocomply with
the E.I.R.P limit for the 5.25-to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz frequency range
in point-to-point operation. To comply with RF exposure requirements all
antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20cm, or the minimum
separation distance allowed by the module approval, from the body of all
persons.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate
using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the
equivalent isotopically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
