AWARD BIOS SETUP
4.1
GETTING STARTED
When the system is powered on or reset, the BIOS will execute the Power-On Self Test
routines ( POST) and checks the functionality of every component in the PC system.
During the POST, you will see a copyright message on the screen followed by a
diagnostics and initialization procedure. (If an EGA or VGA card is installed, the
copyright message of the video card maybe displayed on the screen first.) When the
system detects any error, it will gives a series of beeping sounds or display the error
message on your screen.
Normally, figure 4-1 will be the screen display when the system is powered on.
