586ITOX System Board Users Manual

The Basic Input/Output System

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that takes care

of the basic level of communication between the processor and

peripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contain codes for various

advanced features found in this system board. This chapter explains

the Setup Utility for the Award BIOS.

After you power up your system, the BIOS message appears on your

screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test, the

following message will appear on the screen:

Press DEL to enter setup

If the message disappears before you respond, restart your system or

press the Reset button. You may also restart the system by pressing

the <Ctrl> <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.

When you press <Del>, the main program screen will appear.

Standard CMOS Setup

Use the arrow keys to highlight Standard CMOS Setup and press

<Enter>. A screen similar to the one on the next page will appear.
