CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Setup
Award BIOS has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM, so it can retain the Setup information
when the power is turned off. When the CMOS fails battery, it will cause the data to be lost. If that
happens, please set up your configuration parameters again after replacing the battery. Please
refer to Section 1.1, Essential Handling Precautions (Page 1).
3.2 The Main Menu
As you turn on or reboot the system, the BIOS is immediately activated. It will read the system
configuration information, and check the system through Power On Self Test (POST). During the
POST process, press the [Del] key, and you can enter the Award BIOS configuration system. The
