A Final Note About Setup
Not all systems have the same Setup. While the basic look and function of the Setup
program remains the same for all systems, individual motherboard and chipset combinations
require custom configurations. For example, you may find that your Setup main menu has a
different number of entries from the main menu displayed in this manual. These are simply
features not supported (or not user configurable) on your system.
The final appearance of the Setup program also depends on the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) who built your system. If your OEM has decided that certain items
should only be available to their technicians, those items may very well be removed from
the Setup program.
Shortly after the system is powered on, provided a CPU and sufficient RAM are installed,
you will see the message:
Press
DEL
to enter SETUP.
•
Press the DEL key to enter the Award BIOS Setup program.
Main Menu
Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit
choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and
enter the sub-menu.
