During boot-up a message appears at the bottom to hit a specific key to access bios settings. It is usually Delete, but a few boards use something different. There are a number of bioses, so I can't be specific, but you can navigate through the options, usually with arrow keys. The part you are looking for will probably be on a page with a name something like Peripherals. If in doubt, take a look at all of them. Leave alone anything that is not obvious. The on-board peripheral settings section will be obvious. To change them, the method varies between boards, but usually entails hitting enter and selecting from a menu. You then have to return to the main menu and Save and Exit. On some boards you can F10 to do this, on others you have to step back with Esc then navigate to the option.
