ASUS UEFI BIOS

ASUS UEFI BIOS

The new ASUS UEFI BIOS is a Unified Extensible Interface that complies with UEFI architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable a more flexible and convenient mouse input. You can easily navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as your operating system. The term “BIOS” in this user manual refers to “UEFI BIOS” unless otherwise specified.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings such as storage device configuration, overclocking settings, advanced power management, and boot device configuration that are needed for system startup in the motherboard CMOS. In normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure optimal performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following circumstances:

  • An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you to run the BIOS Setup.
  • You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or update.
Remarks
Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.
When downloading or updating the BIOS file, rename it as XXXXXX.CAP for the corresponding motherboard.

BIOS setup program

Use the BIOS Setup to update the BIOS or configure its parameters. The BIOS screen include navigation keys and brief onscreen help to guide you in using the BIOS Setup program.

Entering BIOS at startup

To enter BIOS Setup at startup, press Delete or F2 during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you do not press Delete or F2, POST continues with its routines.

Entering BIOS Setup after POST

To enter BIOS Setup after POST:
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously.
  • Press the reset button on the system chassis.
  • Press the power button to turn the system off then back on. Do this option only if you failed to enter BIOS Setup using the first two options.
After doing either of the three options, press Delete key to enter BIOS.
Remarks
  • The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
  • Ensure that a USB mouse is connected to your motherboard if you want to use the mouse to control the BIOS setup program.
  • If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS setting, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Optimized Defaults item under the Exit menu or press hotkey F5 . See section 1.10 Exit Menu for details.
