BIOS Introduction

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer

system’s ROM provides critical low-level support for a standard device

such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and

password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of

the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS Setup

The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system

configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the

Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS is immediately

activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the

Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST

(Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing

you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the

system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the

<Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the

system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the

screen:

Press <DEL> or <ESC> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,

the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and

<Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on

the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup

functions and exit choices.
