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.
