4.BIOS Setup

4.1Entering Setup

PHOENIX-AWARD™ has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM whose power is supplied by a battery so that it can retain the setup information even when the power is turned off. Press the key “Delete” when you Power on or Reboot the computer system. (i.e. After the logo appears at the center of the screen, please press Delete to enter the BIOS setup program). In the BIOS, make sure that everything is working fine before you try to optimize it for maximum performance.

It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the CMOS only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.

4.2Main Menu

When you enter the PHOENIX -AWARD™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main will appear on the screen. The Main allows you to select several configuration options. Use the left/right arrow keys to highlight a particular configuration screen from the top menu bar or use the down arrow key to access and configure the information below.
