13) BAT (Battery) The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS configurations, date, and time information) in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost. You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery: 1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord. 2. Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one minute.
Chapter 2 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 modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features.
2-2 M.I.T. This section provides information on the BIOS version, CPU base clock, CPU frequency, memory frequency, total memory size, CPU temperature and Vcore. Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components.
`` Advanced CPU Core Settings && CPU Clock Ratio, CPU Frequency The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. && K OC (Note) Allows for increased performance by using certain CPUs. (Default: Auto) Allows you to set the CPU PLL. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) Allows you to set the Filter PLL. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting.
&& C6/C7 State Support (Note 1) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6/C7 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) && CPU Thermal Monitor (Note 1) Enables or disables Intel CPU Thermal Monitor function, a CPU overheating protection function.
&& Rank Interleaving Enables or disables memory rank interleaving. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different ranks of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) `` Channel A/B Memory Sub Timings This sub-menu provides memory timing settings for each channel of memory. The respective timing setting screens are configurable only when Memory Timing Mode is set to Manual or Advanced Manual.
&& System Fan Speed Control Allows you to determine whether to enable the fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal Allows the fan to run at different speeds according to the system temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with EasyTune based on your system requirements. (Default) Silent Allows the fan to run at slow speeds. Manual Allows you to control the fan speed under the Fan Speed Percentage item. Full Speed Allows the fan to run at full speeds.
&& System Time Sets the system time. The time format is hour, minute, and second. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:0:0. Use to switch between the Hour, Minute, and Second fields and use the or key to set the desired value. && Access Level Displays the current access level depending on the type of password protection used. (If no password is set, the default will display as Administrator.
&& Security Option Specifies whether a password is required every time the system boots, or only when you enter BIOS Setup. After configuring this item, set the password(s) under the Administrator Password/User Password item. Setup A password is only required for entering the BIOS Setup program. System A password is required for booting the system and for entering the BIOS Setup program.
&& Intel TXT(LT) Support (Note) Enables or disables Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT). Intel® Trusted Execution Technology provides a hardware-based security foundation. (Default: Disabled) && VT-d (Note) Enables or disables Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O. (Default: Enabled) && Windows 8 Features Allows you to select the operating system to be installed.
&& Administrator Password Allows you to configure an administrator password. Press on this item, type the password, and then press . You will be requested to confirm the password. Type the password again and press . You must enter the administrator password (or user password) at system startup and when entering BIOS Setup. Differing from the user password, the administrator password allows you to make changes to all BIOS settings.
Auto BIOS routes the sharable ports to EHCI controller. Then it uses ACPI protocols to provide an option to enable the xHCI controller and reroute the sharable ports. Note: This is the recommended mode when BIOS does NOT have xHCI pre-boot support. Enabled All shared ports are eventually routed to the xHCI controller during the BIOS boot process.
AHCI Configures the SATA controllers to AHCI mode. Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is an interface specification that allows the storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features such as Native Command Queuing and hot plug. (Default) `` Serial ATA Port 0/1/2/3/4/5 && Port 0/1/2/3/4/5 Enables or disables each SATA port. (Default: Enabled) Enables or disable the hot plug capability for each SATA port. (Default: Disabled) Enables or disables support for external SATA devices.
2-6 Power Management && Power Loading Enables or disables dummy load. When the power supply is at low load, a self-protection will activate causing it to shutdown or fail. If this occurs, please set to Enabled. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configur this setting.(Default:Auto) && Resume by Alarm Determines whether to power on the system at a desired time.
&& Power On Password Set the password when Power On By Keyboard is set to Password. Press on this item and set a password with up to 5 characters and then press to accept. To turn on the system, enter the password and press . Note: To cancel the password, press on this item. When prompted for the password, press again without entering the password to clear the password settings.
&& Save Profiles This function allows you to save the current BIOS settings to a profile. You can create up to 8 profiles and save as Setup Profile 1~ Setup Profile 8. Press to complete. Or you can select Select File in HDD/USB/FDD to save the profile to your storage device.
