Firmware

Hammer the Delete key while powering up to access the firmware setup.

There doesn't seem to be a CMOS reset jumper anywhere, so if you need to reset the firmware settings you have to pull the CMOS battery for 30 seconds or so. Unfortunately the battery is on the back side of the mainboard under the fan, so you have to take out basically every part in the entire machine to get to it (though fortunately not the heatsink itself, so you don't have to re-paste the CPU).
