In Case of Problems

The Award BIOS supports an override that loads default CMOS settings, should you discover that your RASCard is no longer able to boot after you change Setup.

You can restart by using the power switch, the reset button, or by pressing CTRL, ALT, and DELETE at the same time.

Only change settings that you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup may require you to use the override.
