Chapter 4 AWARD BIOS Setup
4.1 Starting Setup
The Award BIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.
The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the
process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS
will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control
over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the
screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).
Press DEL to enter SETUP
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the
system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete>
keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error
message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
Press F1 to Continue, DEL to enter SETUP
