Chapter 9 Award BIOS Setup 107
A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS
RAM that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This
program is executed when the user changes the system configuration;
when the user changes the system backup battery; or when the system
detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the setup
program. At power-on RAM testing, the message "Press DEL to enter
Setup" appears. After pressing the "DEL" key, the CMOS setup utility
screen will appear as shown in Fig. 9-1. Use the arrow keys to select
and press "Enter" to run the selected program.
9.3 Standard CMOS Setup
Figure 9-2: CMOS setup screen
The standard CMOS setup screen is shown above. System BIOS
automatically detects memory size, so no changes are necessary. It has
a few items requiring setting. Each item may have one or more
optional settings. System BIOS allows you to change the system date
and time, IDE hard disk, floppy disk drive types for drives A: and B:,
boot-up video display mode, and POST error handling selection. Use
the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the "PgUp" or
"PgDn" keys to select the value you want for each item.
