Introduction
This chapter discusses the Award Setup program built into
the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows the user to modify
the basic system configuration. This special information is
then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the setup
information when the power is turned off.
The Award BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM
(Read Only Memory)is a custom version of an industry
standard BIOS. This means that it supports AMD Athlon
TM
and Duron
TM
Processor. The BIOS provides critical low-
level support for standard devices such as disk drives and
serial and parallel ports.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the
process of configuring your system using Setup.
