Chapter 5 BIOS Setup
The BIOS setup Utility record settings and information of your computer,
such as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration
settings. Your computer applies those information to initialize all the
components when booting up and basic function of coordination between system
components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to
malfunction. It can even stop you computer booting properly. If it happens, you
can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory which has stored
the configuration information; or you can hold down the Page
Up Key while rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also
clears the setup information.
