Keyboard Power on Feature

Using the system BIOS setup program, you can configure the
system to turn on by pressing any key. A green keyboard is not
required.

Programmable Firmware

The mainboard includes Award BIOS that allows BIOS setting of
CPU parameters. This fully programmable firmware enhances
the system features and allows users to set such items as power
management, CPU and memory timing, and modem wake-up
alarms. The firmware can also be used to set parameters for
different processor clock speeds so that you don’t need to
change mainboard jumpers and switches.

This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter will cover installing
and building a working system.
