temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few
seconds.
Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing
•
the CMOS values.
After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the
•
jumper cap from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.

- 27 - BIOS Setup
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
allowstheusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.Whenthe
power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the
congurationvaluesintheCMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menu of the
BIOS Setup program.
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.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 4, "BIOS Update Utilities."

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