BIOS Setup

3.1 Award BIOS Setup Utility

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 contains codes for vari-
ous advanced features found in this system board. This chapter
explains the Setup Utility for the Award BIOS.

After you power up the system, the BIOS message appears on
the 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 the 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 menu screen will appear.
