BIOS SETUP

This chapter discusses  Award’s Setup Program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup
Program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information
is then stored in battery-backed RAM, which retains the setup information when the
power is turned off.

Starting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer.  The BIOS
reads  the system information contained  in the CMOS and begins the process of
checking out the system and configuring it.  When it finishes, the BIOS  will  seek  an
operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the
operating system .

While the BIOS is in control, the  Setup Program can be activated :

1.

By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2.

By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at

the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self  Test )

Press DEL to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you can respond and you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button
on the system case.  You may also restart by simultaneously  pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>,
and <Delete> keys . If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does
not reset, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to ...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and
the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or
the F1 key again.

In Case of Problems

If, after  making and saving  system changes with the Setup Program, you discover that
your computer does not reset, use the Award BIOS defaults to override the CMOS
settings.

Main Menu

Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on  the
screen.  The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and two exit
choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept  and
enter the sub-menu.
