ASUS notebook BIOS Setup Detailed

BIOS is the abbreviation of the English basic Input/output system, that is, the basic input and output systems, reasonable BIOS settings can make our computer better service for us, but since most of the notebook BIOS interface is in English, And some of the key options in the BIOS will cause a variety of problems, causing some friends dare not let go of change settings, or out of the problem do not know how to solve, the purpose of writing this post is to let everyone see what the BIOS contains the options, which are commonly used, combined with the needs of our friends, Find the most appropriate setting. Asus Notebooks Now use the Aptio scheme of Ami, based on EFI (extensible Firmware Interface), UEFI (Unified EFI) and Intel Platform Improvement Specification framework, Overall, EFI can let the computer out of the traditional BIOS 128Kbytes limit, support more devices and larger hard disk, the use of more flexible, but the content of this post is to help you "how to do" rather than "do this according to a theory", So let's go back and see what we can do with the BIOS. to declare the color tag of this post, the green option indicates that the item can be changed, Blue indicates a status parameter that cannot be changed, and red indicates that the item is not changed under certain circumstances (for example, after setting a password) first enter the BIOS setup interface, when the notebook starts, press and hold the F2 key to after entering the BIOS, you will first come to the Main tab, which has the most basic information about the computer. <ignore_js_op> BIOS Information: Basic BIOS Information BIOS Vendor: is the manufacturer of this bios, American megatrends, one of the three major BIOS manufacturers in the world Version: BIOS release information VBIOSversion: SNB set display graphics ECVersion: Embedded controllers (Embed Controller) release information Processor Information: Processor information Brand String: Contains processor details for manufacturers, brands Total Memory: The amount of RAM installed, usually we use this value to do the most basic memory is the normal identification of information System date: Data can be directly entered as a numeric modification System time: Allows you to enter digital modifications directly Accesslevel: The state of the permissions after the BIOS login, generally display administrator or user, the specific relevant settings are detailed later. we can think of the main tab as the most basic information display interface Advanced Tab <ignore_js_op> In the Advanced tab, you can make some higher-level settings   <ignore_js_op> Start Easy Flash: ASUS is very considerate in the BIOS update, has the WinFlash in the aflash,windows environment under the DOS environment, as well as the simplest easy flash, Select this option in the BIOS to access the interface Easy Flash interface, not in detail here, and so on when you write it again <ignore_js_op> Play Postsound: whether to play sounds when booting to ASUS logo (that is, post in the back) <ignore_js_op> Speaker Volume: Play Asus logo volume, only when play POST sound is "yes" to select, a total of 8 files, the default is 4 <ignore_js_op> asus Fancystart: ASUS has a random ASUS Fancystart software that can customize the post interface and sound at boot time, and even the background, where you choose whether to enable this feature <ignore_js_op> Post Logo Type: Whether the Post interface is dynamic (animated) or static. <ignore_js_op> intenal Pointing Device: Whether to enable the notebook touchpad, if set to disable, then the touchpad will not be available, we often say in the BIOS disable the touchpad is here. <ignore_js_op> USB CHARGE: Whether to allow the USB interface to charge after power off <ignore_js_op> SATA configuration : Compatibility options for SATA interfaces, select to enter the SATA configuration settings interface <ignore_js_op> SATA mode Selection: SATA interface modes, selectable with IDE and AHCI mode, this option is very important, if you have installed or are about to install the system (for example, Windows XP) native does not support SATA, Then you need to modify the IDE in order to correctly identify the hard disk and installation, if the normal use of the situation without reason to modify the mode, it will inevitably cause blue screen. Serial ata port0&serial ata Port2: This shows which interfaces are used for the hard drive and the optical drive. Intel at Configurations: This is an option for Intel's anti-Theft technology (ANTI-THIEF), which also gives an interface separately after entry <ignore_js_op> Intelat: Whether to start Intel anti-theft technology <ignore_js_op> enter Intel at Suspendmode: Enter Intel anti-theft technology suspend mode to halt Intel anti-theft technology operation It should be explained that Intel anti-theft technology is not only open in the BIOS, there is a lot of software and third-party service support, in addition, there is no Intel anti-theft technology services in mainland China, so this option is basically useless. Boot tab As the name implies, the Boot tab is a variety of settings related to boot startup. Boot Configuration <ignore_js_op> Uefi Boot: As already mentioned, Aptio's BIOS is UEFI-based, and UEFI-related content is not limited to BIOS, and more exciting things can be read from external devices, which is useful, but for general applications, It's not much of a relationship. <ignore_js_op> PXE ROM: PXE is actually what we call a way of starting a network, where the setting is enabled, in general, this option is useless, unless you want to set up a diskless working system. Boot option priorities: Boot Priority option This option can be thought of as the sequence of boot device categories or system fixed priority levels, with several identified device categories or options, where several boot sequences appear <ignore_js_op> boot option # (x): numbering starts at 0, the smaller the boot priority, the return can select the device, device category, or option that has been identified. <ignore_js_op> hard Drive BBS priorities: HDD class device boot priority, so-called BBS is not what we generally call the forum, but the BIOS boot specification, Simply said is the initial program loading (IPL) device in the BIOS, sorted here to determine the boot order of the hard disk class device, if the highest priority device boot failure, then go to the next device in the list until the boot is successful, it is also for us to connect a number of different boot devices at the same time possible. <ignore_js_op> after entering this option, you can see that there are multiple boot devices, where the ordering determines the boot priority,boot option # (x): Numbering starts from 1, the smaller the boot priority, the carriage return can be selectedthe device, device category, or option that has been identified. <ignore_js_op> CD /DVD ROM drive BBs priorities: CD-ROM class media device boot priority, if you have more than one optical drive device, there will be more than one device to sort. In addition, if there is a floppy drive, the corresponding will also have floopy BBS priorities Add new bootoption: Additional boot options allow you to manually add devices with special boot capabilities, such as UEFI-compliant devices that can be identified and used. after entering add New Boot option, there are also subordinate options <ignore_js_op> Add boot option: A dialog box appears after selection, which is equivalent to naming a new boot device or option <ignore_js_op> Select Filesystem: Choose a number of other device file systems that may contain boot capabilities <ignore_js_op> Path for boot option: Paths to the boot device, select a device to load paths such as EFI files <ignore_js_op>   creat: Click to generate a boot option with the above three items, which can be selected in Boot option # (x). <ignore_js_op> Delete bootoption: Remove the Custom boot option and select the option to go to the subordinate. in the Delete boot option option here, enter can see more than one custom Boot option, select and delete. It should be stated that ADD New boot option and delete boot option are generally not available to us and can be ignored. Security Options As the name implies, security is the most basic, the BIOS can control the safety options, inside can set the BIOS administrator password, user password, hard drive manager password, hard disk access user password, external device security management. <ignore_js_op> First Look at setup Administratior Password, which is set to prevent others from obtaining full control of the BIOS, enter the password once and confirm it, and then set it. <ignore_js_op> User Password: This option provides the BIOS access and view for the general user, and must enter the password to get the permission to continue operation, enter the password once and confirm, you can set the password. After entering the BIOS with User password permissions, the "Access level" is displayed as "user" in the main option, and there are no changes in the corresponding advanced options, boot options, securtiy, exit options <ignore_js_op> Set Master Password: The password for the hard drive Manager can only be enabled if the password is set.User password, which is used primarily to manage or clear the hard drive user password <ignore_js_op> Set User Password: Hard drive user password,The hard drive password is based on the ATA specification and is used to protect the hard drive data .If you set a power-on password and a hard drive password, you must enter the appropriate password when the computer starts. I/o Interface Security: This option allows you to set whether all I/O devices can be used after selecting, you can see more options <ignore_js_op> LAN Network Interface: Whether to enable the wired network adapter Wireless Network Interface: Whether to enable the wireless card Audio Interface: Whether to enable the device SATA ODD Interface: Whether the optical drive is enabled USB InterfaceSecurity: USB port Safety Settings, select to enter further settings <ignore_js_op> USB Interface: Whether the USB interface is available, if "lock" is selected, all USB functions are not available, including boot device External Ports: External interface is available, that is, all external devices that utilize the USB interface, including keyboard and mouse plugged in. BLUETOOTH/UWB: Bluetooth/External Bluetooth interface is available CMOSCamera: Identifies whether the camera is available as a USB interface Card Reader: Is the reader interface available Finally finally to the Exit tab, this picture although many but very boring post is also near the end of <ignore_js_op> Save changes and exit: Saves changes to the BIOS and exits, and then confirms it again. <ignore_js_op> Discard changes and exit: Discard the BIOS changes and exit, then confirm again. Save Options: If you do not need to exit the BIOS interface, you can save or discard the changes directly here, including. <ignore_js_op> Save Changes: Saves settings for BIOS changes and needs to be confirmed again <ignore_js_op> Discard Changes: Discard the BIOS change settings and need to confirm again <ignore_js_op> Restore Defaults: Restore the original BIOS settings and need to confirm again boot Override: After selecting the specified device, reboot immediately and boot with the selected device. <ignore_js_op> Launch EFI shell from filesystem device: Loads the EFI shell file from the specified file system and, if there is one, it can be applied to some EFI applications. wordy so a heap, may have someone impatient, in fact, the BIOS setup of the notebook has a simple and complex, can be very easy to set up can also be advanced applications, generally speaking, we often have so many items: Main:system Date and time of the System, setting the dates and times for the BIOS. advanced:internal pointing Device, USB charge and SATA Configuration, the first one to set whether the touchpad is enabled and the second to set whether to allow the USB port to be powered off, The last one is the installation of XP system must be modified, when installing the Vista and WIN7 system, if the installation system disk with SATA driver, then use AHCI mode. boot:boot Option # (x), select the highest boot level device, commonly used is hard disk, if you need to install the system can be set as a USB flash drive or CD, but remember, you must first insert a USB flash drive to recognize. Exit:save changes and exit or restore Defaults, the former is remember to save before exiting the BIOS, which can be restored directly to the factory settings when there is a problem in the BIOS options. Finally, a few more words as a hint. 1.BIOS interface, the system heating will increase, fan speed will rise up to full speed, this is very normal thing, because the BIOS itself does not support advanced power management, the device is full power operation. 2. If you only need to temporarily change the boot device, you can select it directly after power-on, without entering the BIOS 3. If you set a power-on password and a hard drive password, don't forget.
