BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows

theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to

keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.

ToaccesstheBIOSSetupprogram,pressthe<Delete>keyduringthePOSTwhenthepoweristurnedon.

ToupgradetheBIOS,useeithertheGIGABYTEQ-Flashor@BIOSutility.

•Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.

•@BIOSisaWindows-basedutilitythatsearchesanddownloadsthelatestversionofBIOSfromtheInternet

and updates the BIOS.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrent

versionofBIOS,itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwith

caution.InadequateBIOSashing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inthischapterorintroductionsofthebattery/clear

CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
