When you start up the computer, there is a chance for you to run the BIOS Setup. Press <F2> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS Setup Utility, otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. If you wish to enter the BIOS Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. It is a menu-driven program, which allows you to scroll through its various sub-menus and select among the predetermined choices. Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference purpose only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen. 3. 1. 1 BIOS Menu Bar The top of the screen has a menu bar with the following selections: MAIN Sets up the basic system configuration ADVANCED Sets up the advanced features SECURITY Sets up the security features POWER Configures Power Management features BOOT Configures the default system device that is used to locate and load the Operating System EXIT Exits the current menu or the BIOS Setup To access the menu bar items, press the right or left arrow key on the keyboard until the desired item is highlighted. 3. 1. 2 Legend Bar At the bottom of the Setup Screen is a legend bar.

Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you have the correct configuration information supplied by the drive manufacturer. Incorrect settings may cause the system to fail to recognize the installed hard disk. If autodetection is successful, the BIOS Setup automatically fills in the correct values for the remaining fields on this sub-menu. If the autodetection fails, it may due to that the hard disk is too old or too new. If the hard disk was already formatted on an older system, the BIOS Setup may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select [User] to manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters. After entering the hard disk information into BIOS, use a disk utility, such as FDISK, to partition and format new IDE hard disk drives. This is necessary so that you can write or read data from the hard disk. [. . . ] If [Always] option is selected, the "Password Check" is performed before both boot-up and BIOS setup. 25 3.
