8 – BIOS CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Starting Setup
The AwardBIOS™ is running as soon as the power is switched on. The BIOS reads the system
information contained in the CMOS memory and starts checking out and configuring the system. When
finished, the BIOS will try to boot an operating system from the first booting device specified, if it does
not find an OS it will jump the the next one.
Setup program can be activated by pressing <Del> repeatedly after switching the system on. If the
setup program does not enter, restart the system and try again.

In Case of Problems
It could happen that after saving system changes with Setup, the computer no longer boots. The
AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
It is strongly recommended no to make any changes to the chipset defaults as they have been
carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability.
