Bios Setup
Notice: The descriptions relating to BIOS setup in this manual are for reference only since the BIOS version of the product might be upgraded. Giada provides no guarantee that all the contents in this Manual are consistent with the information you acquired. BIOS is a basic I/O control program saved in the Flash Memory. Bridging the motherboard and the operation system, BIOS is used for managing the setup of the related parameters between them. When the computer is activated, the system is first controlled by the BIOS program. Firstly, a self-detection called POST is performed to check all hard devices and confirm the parameters of the synchronous hardware.
- HD drive and peripheral devices
- Video display type and display items
- Password protection
- Power management characteristics
State of BIOS Setup
- When the computer is started up, BIOS will run the self-detection (Post) program. This program includes a series of diagnoses fi×ed in BIOS.
When this program is executed, the following information will appear if any error is found:
- Press [F1] to Run General help
- Press [F2] to Load previous values and continue
- To enter BIOS, you can press DEL; to load the default values and enter the system, you can press DEL to enter the BIOS interface if an error occurs. If the indicative information disappears before operating, you can shut down the computer and turn it on again, or you can press the RESET
- key on the product case. To restart your computer, you can also press < Ctrl > + < Alt > + < Delete > simultaneously.
