System BIOS Setup
4.1 Introduction
The BD100 Plus 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.
4.1.1 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.com.tw.
4.1.2 Recovering BIOS Data
Some types of conditions can destroy the BIOS. Nevertheless, the BIOS can be recovered from a
diskette. To recover BIOS, you must create a bootable diskette, then copy the recovery files onto it.
The recovery files are available from Iwill.
Note: No video is displayed during the recovery process.
4.1.3 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 BD100 Plus 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.
