Chapter 3 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 allows the user to modiy basic system conguration settings or to activate certain system eatures. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the conguration 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 Q-Flash Plus utility.
· Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system. · Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest
BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the dedicated port, and then you can now fash the BIOS automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button. For instructions on using the Q-Flash and Q-Flash Plus utilities, please navigate to the "Unique Features" page of GIGABYTE's website and search for "BIOS Update Utilities."
· Because BIOS fashing is potentially risky, i you do not encounter problems using the current version o BIOS, it is recommended that you not fash the BIOS. To fash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS fashing may result in system malunction.
· 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 introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 2 or navigate to the "BIOS Setup" page o GIGABYTE's website and search or "Load Optimized Deaults" or how to clear the CMOS values.

To comply with RF exposure requirements all antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20cm, or the minimum separation distance allowed by the module approval, from the body of all persons.
Attention: l'utilisation d'un réseau sans l IEEE802.11a est restreinte à une utilisation en intérieur à cause du onctionnement dansla bande de réquence 5.15-5.25 GHz. Industry Canada requiert que ce produit soit utilisé à l'intérieur des bâtiments pour la bande de réquence 5.15-5.25 GHz an de réduire les possibilités d'interérences nuisibles aux canaux co-existants des systèmes de transmission satellites. Les radars de puissances ont fait l'objet d'une allocation primaire de fréquences dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.65-5.85 GHz. Ces stations radar peuvent créer des interférences avec ce produit et/ou lui être nuisible. Le gain d'antenne maximum permissible pour une utilisation avec ce produit est de 6 dBi an d'être conorme aux limites de puissance isotropique rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) applicable.
dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.725-5.85 GHz en onctionnement point-à-point. Pour se conormer aux conditions d'exposition de RF toutes les antennes devraient être localisées à une distance minimum de 20 cm, ou la distance de séparation minimum permise par l'approbation du module, du corps de toutes les personnes.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conormément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radio électrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisaisante.
