Chapter 3

Award BIOS

This  chapter  tells  how  to  configure  the  system  parameters.  You  may  update
your BIOS via AWARD Flash Utility.

Important:

Because  the  BIOS  code  is  the  most

often changed part of the motherboard design, the
BIOS  information  contained  in  this  chapter
(especially the Chipset Setup parameters) may be
a  little  different  compared  to  the  actual  BIOS  that
came with your motherboard.
