Chapter 2 BIOS Setup  
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure  
required settings or to activate certain system features.  
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.  
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS  
SRAM.  
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will  
take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1".  
When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the  
event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either  
GIGABYTE's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.  
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system.  
@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but  
directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

4-1-2 Xpress Recovery2 Introduction  
Xpress Recovery2 is designed to provide quick backup and restora-  
tion of hard disk data. Supporting Microsoft operating systems including  
Windows XP/2000/NT/98/Me and DOS, and file systems including  
FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS, Xpress Recovery2 is able to back up data  
on hard disks on PATA and SATA IDE controllers. After Xpress Recovery2 is executed from CD-ROM  
for the first time, it will stay permanent in your hard disk. If you wish to run Xpress Recovery2 later, you  
can simply press F9 during system bootup to enter Xpress Recovery2 without the CD-ROM.  
System requirements:  
1. Intel x86 platforms  
2. At least 64M bytes of system memory  
3. VESA-supported VGA cards  
How to use the Xpress Recovery2  
Initial access by booting from CD-ROM and subsequent access by pressing the F9 key:  
Steps: After entering BIOS Setup, go to Advanced BIOS Feature and set to boot from CD-ROM. Save  
the settings and exit the BIOS Setup. Insert the provided driver CD into your CD-ROM drive. Upon  
system restart, the message which says "Boot from CD/DVD:" will appear in the bottom left corner  
of the screen. Press any key to enter Xpress Recovery2.  
After the steps above are completed, subsequent access to Xpress Recovery2 can be made  
by simply pressing the <F9> key during system power-on.

4. REBOOT:  
Exit the main screen and restart the system.  
Limitations:  
1. Not compatible to Xpress Recovery.  
2. For the use of Xpress Recovery2, a primary partition must be reserved.  
3. Xpress Recovery2 will store the backup file at the end of the hard disk, so free space available  
on the hard disk for the backup file must be allocated in advance. (A minimum 4GB is recom-  
mended but the actual space is dependent on the size of the data to be backed up)  
4. Capable of backing up hard disks installed with Windows operating systems including DOS and  
Windows XP/2000/NT/9x/Me.  
5. USB hard disks are currently not supported.  
6. Does not support RAID/AHCI (class code 0104/0106) hard disks.  
7. Capable of backing up and restoring only the first physical hard disk.  
Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:  
a. PATA IDE primary channel  
b. PATA IDE secondary channel  
c. SATA IDE channel 1  
d. SATA IDE channel 2  
e. SATA IDE channel 3  
f. SATA IDE channel 4  
Precautions:  
1. When using hard disks with more than 128G under Windows 2000, be sure to execute the  
EnableBigLba.exe program from the driver CD before data backup.  
2. It is normal that data backup takes longer time than data restoration.  
3. Xpress Recovery2 is compliant with the GPL regulations.  
4. On a few motherboards based on Nvidia chipsets, BIOS update is required for Xpress Recovery2  
to correctly identify RAID and SATA IDE mode. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer.

4-2 Troubleshooting  
Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a specific  
Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS. Why?  
Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys after  
entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.  
Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?  
Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down  
and that's why the light is still on.  
Question 3: How do I clear CMOS?  
Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the manual.  
If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear  
CMOS. Please refer to the steps below:  
Steps:  
1. Turn off power.  
2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.  
3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 1 minute (Or you can use a metal object  
to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem short for 5  
seconds).  
4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.  
5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.  
6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults(or load Optimized Defaults).  
7. Save changes and reboot the system.  
Question 4: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?  
Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not,  
please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.  
Question 5: Sometimes I hear different continuous beeps from computer after system boots up. What do  
these beeps usually stand for?  
Answer: The beep codes below may help you identify the possible computer problems. However,  
they are only for reference purposes. The situations might differ from case to case.
