Chapter 10 Award BIOS Setup

10.1 Award BIOS Setup

The IPPC-9151 comes with an Award BIOS chip that contains the ROM setup for your system. This chip serves as an interface between the pro- cessor and the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter explains the information contained in the setup program and tells you how to mod- ify the settings according to your system configuration. Some setup items will not be explained, because it is recommended that users do not change such items.

Note:	Values for the various setup items that appear on
	your own screen (including default values) may
	not be the same as the values shown on the
	screen figures in this chapter. This is because
	the BIOS is revised and updated from time to
	time. If in doubt, check Advantech's website for
	the latest BIOS versions and related information.

10.2 CMOS Setup Utility

A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS RAM that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This program is executed when the user changes the system configuration; when the user changes the system backup battery; or when the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the setup program. At power- on RAM testing, the message "Press DEL to enter Setup" appears. After pressing the "DEL" key, the CMOS setup utility screen will appear as shown in followings. Use the arrow keys to select and press "Enter" to run the selected program.
