BIOS SETUP TIPS

Entering the Award BIOS Setup Menu

The BIOS setup utility is a segment of codes/routines residing in the BIOS 
Flash ROM. This routine allows you to configure the system parameters 
and save the configuration into the 128 byte CMOS area, (normally in the 
RTC chip or directly in the main chipset). To Enter the BIOS Setup, press 

DEL

 during POST (Power-On Self Test). 

Standard CMOS Setup

The "Standard CMOS Setup" sets the basic system parameters such as 
the date, time, and the hard disk type. Use the arrow keys to highlight an 
item and 

Page Up

 or 

Page Down

 to select the value for each item.

Tips: 

The enhanced IDE feature allows the system to use a hard disk with a 
capacity of more than 528MB. This is made possible through the Logical 
Block Address (LBA) mode translation. The LBA is now to be considered as
a standard feature of current IDE hard disk on the market which capability 
is larger than 528MB. Note that if HDD is formatted with LBA On, it will not 
be able to boot with LBA Off.
