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 battery for CMOS fails, 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.

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 the Power On Self Test (POST). During the POST process, press the [Del] key and you can enter the Award BIOS configuration system. The following screen will appear.

In the Award BIOS system you can use the arrows ( ) to highlight an item and then

enter its sub-menu by pressing the [Enter] key. The following keys help you navigate in Setup.

[Esc]	Main Menu: Quit without saving changes into CMOS RAM
	Other pages: Exit the current page and return to the Main Menu
[PgUp]	Increase the numeric value or make changes
