BIOS Setup

BIOS Instruction

This motherboard uses AMI BIOS, which is known as Basic Input Output System(Basic input/output system). It is stored in a chip on the motherboard of your computer. When you turn on your computer, BIOS is the first program to run, and it has the following main functions:

• A. Power On Self Test (POST), the function is to check if the computer is good.
• B. Initialize and detect some external devices and load and run your operating system.
• C. Provides the lowest, most basic level of control over your computer hardware.
• D. Manage your computer through SETUP in BIOS.

BIOS data is stored in a CMOSRO RAM chip on the motherboard, maintained by a 3.3V coin cell battery, which contains important
information about the system and the setup program for setting system parameters – the BIOS Setup program. When the system is
running normally, the BIOS does not need to be modified, and when the CMOS data is lost due to other reasons, the BIOS needs to be reset.
Attention:
Improper BIOS settings can directly damage your computer’s hardware and even burn your motherboard, so it is recommended that those unfamiliar with the settings be careful to modify them. Due to the BIOS in the motherboard constantly upgraded, this manual in the relevant BIOS information for reference only.
