In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that
your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS(tm) supports an
override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand.
To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes
to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by
both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maxi-
mum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the
chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
A Final Note About Setup
Not all systems have the same Setup. While the basic look and function
of the Setup program remains the same for all systems, individual
motherboard and chipset combinations require custom configurations. For
example, you may find that your Setup main menu has a different number
of entries from the main menu displayed in this manual. These are simply
features not supported (or not user configurable) on your system.
The final appearance of the Setup program also depends on the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who built your system. If your OEM has
decided that certain items should only be available to their technicians,
those items may very well be removed from the Setup program.
