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. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration 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 @BIOS utility. · Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system. · @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet
and updates the BIOS. · Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction. · 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 "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
2-1 Startup Screen
The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.
Function Keys
There are two different BIOS modes as follows and you can use the <F2> key to switch between the two modes. Easy Mode allows users to quickly view their current system information or to make adjustments for optimum performance. In Easy Mode, you can use your mouse to move through configuration items. The Advanced Mode provides detailed BIOS settings. You can press the arrow keys on your keyboard to move among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter a sub-menu. Or you can use your mouse to select the item you want.
· When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults. · The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.

Install the RAID driver and operating system
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system. Installing the Operating System As some operating systems already include RAID driver, you do not need to install separate RAID driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you install all required drivers from the motherboard driver disc using "Xpress Install" to ensure system performance and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional RAID driver during the OS installation process, please refer to the steps below: 1. Copy the Hw10 folder under the \BootDrv folder in the driver disc to your USB thumb drive. 2. Boot from the Windows setup disc and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting
you to load the driver appears, select Browse. 3. Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. The location of the drivers is as
follows: \Hw10\RAID\x64 4. Select AMD-RAID Bottom Device first and click Next to load the driver. Then select AMD-RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver. Finally, continue the OS installation.
Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on configuring a RAID array.
