Default How to get to BIOS?


I have an old ACER Pentium II system - How do I get into its BIOS?
The usual keys (ESC, DEL, F1) don't seem to work.

Thanks

Try F2. Some Intel motherboards use that key. Another one is S.

Some older Acers used cntrl-alt-esc
Acer has a support web site where this
info is available as long as you know the
model.

Nope - Neither worked. It is a Acer 'Aspire'.

Thanks
