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. If the CMOS battery fails, this data will be lost. If that happens, please setup 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, pressing the [Del] key allows you to enter the Award BIOS configuration system. The following screen will appear.

In the Award BIOS system, you can use the arrows (
