BIOS Setup
5.1
Introduction
The motherboard uses AWARD BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded
using the appropriate software program. The setup program is for viewing and changing the
BIOS setting for a computer. These settings are stored in battery-backed RAM so that it
retains all the settings after the power has been turned off.
5.1.1 Upgrade BIOS
The BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette with the Award Flash utility —
AWDFLASH.EXE. The BIOS image file, and update utility are available from IWILL’s
WEB site: www.iwill.net
5.1.2 Enter BIOS setup program
Power-on the system by either pressing the Power-On button, or by using any of the
power-on features provided by the motherboard. Then, press the <Del> key after the
Power-On Self Test (POST), and before the scanning of IDE devices. Simply look for
the message “Press DEL to enter SETUP” displayed at the bottom of the screen
during the boot up process. If the message disappears before you’ve had a chance to
respond, you can restart the system by
Turning off the system power then turn it on again, or
Pressing the “RESET” button on the system case, or
Pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.
