System parameters can be modified by going into BIOS Setup menu, this menu allows you to configure the system parameters and save
the configuration into the 128 bytes CMOS area, (normally in the RTC chip or in the main chipset).
Phoenix-Award BIOS™ installed in the Flash ROM
of the motherboard is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as hard disk drives, serial and parallel ports.
Most BIOS settings of MX4GE have been optimized by AOpen’s R&D engineering team. But, the default setting of BIOS still can’t fine-tune
the chipset controlling entire system. Therefore, the rest of this chapter intends to guide you the process of configuring your system setup.
To enter to BIOS setup menu
, press <Del> when POST (Power-On Self Test) screen is shown on your monitor.
Note: Because the BIOS code is the most often
changed part of the motherboard design, the BIOS
information contained in this manual may be different
with actual BIOS that come with your motherboard.
