I googled and found a manual here. You could have done that too! It looks like F1 is the key to enter the setup program.

FYI - the operating system makes no difference here. The BIOS setup is independent of any OS installed on the machine, whether you're running Linux, Windows, or no OS at all, the process is the same.
