4.1 System test and initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error
during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on
the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually
continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usu-
ally appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence.
4.1.1 System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in
the board's CMOS memory. If they do not match, the program outputs an error mes-
sage. You will then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the configuration infor-
mation in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been
erased.
The PCM-9587 Series' CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup. The
battery backup should last ten years in normal service, but when it finally runs down,
you will need to replace the complete unit.
4.2 Award BIOS setup
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the
basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed
CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
4.2.1 Entering setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately. This will allow you to enter
Setup.
