BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration  program built in the BIOS (Basic Input / Output 
System) of computer. Generally speaking, the  computer is already properly configured and 
optimized, and you do not need to run this utility.
However, if you encounter configuration problems , you may need to run Setup. Otherwise, you can 
also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
Invoking BIOS Setup
To activate the BIOS Utility, press m  during POST (when “Press   to enter Setup” message is 
prompted on the left-bottom side of the screen).
There are six prime items in the BIOS Setup Ut ility. They are Information, Main, Advanced, 
Security, Boot and Exit. In th e coming pages, we will explain th e BIOS Setup Utility by item.
NOTE: During setup, all Fn function keys and power saving function are disabled.
PartDescription
Information Display t he system informations.
Main Allows the user to specify standard IBM PC AT system  parameters.
Security Provides security  setting of the system.
Boot Allows the user to  specify the boot options.
Exit Allows the user to save  CMOS setting and exit Setup.
