Entering BIOS without delete key

I have a CM Storm Quickfire TK. It has a delete key that is usable when NumLock is turned off. However, when I boot up my system, the NumLock is turned on by default and won't turn off upon pressing the key. Thus, I can't hit the delete key during bootup. Is there any other way of entering the BIOS? I have a Gigabyte Z97-HD3.

Try F2, should work on Gigabyte boards

Yeah, my board can go into bios by pressing both delete and one of the 'F' keys. Not sure about the Gigabyte though.
