Caution
- 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 “Load Optimized Defaults” section for how to clear the CMOS values.)
Setting the BIOS Display Language
To set the BIOS display language, go to the System Info. menu. The BIOS Language setting allows you to select the default language used by the BIOS. The System Language setting allows you to select the default language used by the BIOS.
Setting Administrator/User Password
Go to the Boot menu to set the administrator password or user password for your desktop computer.
Administrator Password
Allows you to configure an administrator password. Press on this item, type
the password, and then press . You will be requested to confirm the password.
Type the password again and press . You must enter the administrator password
(or user password) at system startup and when entering BIOS Setup. Differing
from the user password, the administrator password allows you to make changes
to all BIOS settings.
User Password
Allows you to configure a user password. Press on this item, type the
password, and then press . You will be requested to confirm the password. Type
the password again and press . You must enter the administrator password (or
user password) at system startup and when entering BIOS Setup. However, the
user password only allows you to make changes to certain BIOS settings but not
all. To cancel the password, press on the password item and when requested for
the password, enter the correct one first. When prompted for a new password,
press without entering any password. Press again when prompted to confirm.
NOTE: Before setting the User Password, be sure to set the Administrator
Password first
Loading Optimized Defaults
Go to the Save & Exit menu to load the BIOS default settings.
Load Optimized Defaults
Press on this item and select Yes to load the optimal BIOS default settings.
The BIOS defaults settings help the system to operate in optimum state. Always
load the Optimized defaults after updating the BIOS or after clearing the CMOS
values.
Saving the BIOS Settings and Exiting
-
Save & Exit Setup
Press on this item and select Yes. This saves the changes to the CMOS and exits the BIOS Setup program. Select No or press to return to the BIOS Setup Main Menu. -

Appendix
Using Q-Flash Plus
Before You Begin:
-
From GIGABYTE’s website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your product model.
-
Uncompress the downloaded BIOS file, save it to your USB flash drive, and rename it to GIGABYTE.bin.
(Note: The USB flash drive must use FAT32/16/12 file system.) -
Please turn on the power supply before connecting the USB flash drive to the Q-Flash Plus port on the back panel.
Using Q-Flash Plus
Press the Q-Flash Plus button and the system will automatically search and match the BIOS file in the USB flash drive on the Q-Flash Plus port. The QFLED and the Q-Flash Plus button on the rear panel will flash during the BIOS matching and flashing process. Wait for 6-8 minutes and the LEDs will stop flashing when the BIOS flashing is complete.
If you choose to update the BIOS manually, first make sure that your system is off (S5 shutdown state).

FCC Compliance Statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Subpart B, Unintentional
Radiators.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
certified equipment. The Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN products meet the Human
Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/
IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions
found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s
recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
- Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
- Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
- Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.
- Use in specific environments:
- The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
- The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Antenna use:
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas
should be located at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the
body of all persons.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network
device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless
the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Antenna Warning
The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain antennas.
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of
radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with
critical aircraft instruments.
Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: Refer to the
documentation supplied with wireless Ethernet adapters or other devices in the
wireless network.
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 isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
