BIOS Setup

Notice:
The descriptions relating to BIOS setup in this Manual is 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.
Once all detections are completed, BIOS will hand over the controlling to the operation system (OS).
As BIOS serves as the only channel that connects the hardware and software, whether your computer can run stably and work in optimized state will hinge on how to properly set the parameters in BIOS.
Therefore, the correct setup of BIOS plays a key role in stably running the system and optimizing its performance.
The CMOS Setup will save the set parameters in the built-in CMOS SRAM on the motherboard.
When the power is shut off, the lithium battery on the motherboard will provide continuously power to CMOS SRAM.

The BIOS setup program will allow you to configure the following items:

1. HD drive and peripheral devices
2. Video display type and display items
3. Password protection
4. Power management characteristics

A. State of BIOS Setup
When the computer is started up, BIOS will run the self-detection (Post) program. This program includes series of diagnosis fixed 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 F2; to load the default values and enter the system, you can press DEL to enter the BIOS interface if no 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.

B. Function Keys definitions

C. Auxiliary information Main interface
When the system enters the main interface of Setup, the major selected contents will be displayed at the lower part of the interface with the change of the options.
When you set the value for each column, you can view the preset value of the column and the values that can be set if you press F2, for example, the BIOS default values or CMOS Setup values.
To exit the interface for auxiliary information, press [ESC].
1) Main menu
When the system enters the CMOS Setup menu, you can see the main menu on the upper part of the screen, as shown in Figure1.
In this main menu, you can use the left and right direction keys to select the setup items.
Once the item is selected, the lower part of the computer screen will show the details of setting.

1. Main (standard CMOS setup)
   This item is used for setting the date and time.
2. Advanced (advanced BIOS setup)
   This item is used for setting the advanced functions provided by BIOS, such as specifications of PCIe facilities, CPU, HDD, etc.
3. Security (set the administrator/user password)
4. Boot (startup configuration characteristics)
5. Save & Exit (option of exit)
   This item includes load optimal defaults / load failsafe defaults value / discard changes / discard changes and exit.

4.1 Main (Standard CMOS Setup)

1. System time (hh:mm:ss)
   Use this item to set the time for the computer, with the format as “HH / MM / SS”.
2. System date (mm:dd:yy)
   Use this item to set the date for the computer, with the format as “week, MM / DD / YY”.

4.2 Advanced (Advanced BIOS Setup)

4.2.1 ACPI Setting

4.2.2 CPU Configuration

4.2.3 Wake Configuration

4.2.4 Trusted Computing

4.3 Security

If this function is selected, the following information will appear:
Enter New Password hhhhhh
Then enter a password which is no more than eight characters and press <Enter>. BIOS will require to enter the password again.
Once you enter it again, BIOS will save the set password. Once the password item is enabled, you will be required to enter the password every time before the system entering to the setup program of BIOS. The user can set this item through the Security Option in advanced BIOS properties. If the Security Option is set as System, the password will be required to be entered before both the system guides and entering to the setup program of BIOS. If it is set as Setup, the password will be required to be entered only before the system entering to the setup program of BIOS.
To delete the password, press <Enter> in the popped-up window that requires to enter the password.
Then information for confirmation will appear on the screen to allow you decide whether the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, you can enter the etup program directly without password when the system is restarted.
Boot Sector Virus Protection. This item is used for setting the alarm function in case of virus attack in IDE disk sector. If this item is set as Enable and some program writes information in the sector, BIOS will display alarm information on the screen and buzz.
