4 Motherboard BIOS
4.1 Configuration
The motherboard BIOS includes a setup utility that can be used to both view and modify the board’s
configuration. The settings are stored in CMOS RAM with the default settings held in the flash
ROM. To start the utility, press the F2 key when prompted. If ‘silent-boot’ is on (logo displayed) then
press the ESC key to show the start-up messages.
The display is divided into four areas.
• The top bar shows the six main menus
• The large left area shows the options
• The large right area displays help text specific to the highlighted option or menu
• The bottom bar shows the action of the active keys
The primary menus are briefly described in the table below. The help text describes each option
more fully. Many options have sub-menus.
