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.

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/

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