Setup Variations

Not all systems have the same Setup. While the basic look and function of the Setup program remains the same for all systems, the appearance of your Setup screens may differ from the screens shown here. Each system design and chipset combination require custom configurations. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program depends on your system designer. Your system designer can decide that certain items should not be available for user configuration and remove them from the Setup program.

Main Setup Menu

When you enter the AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility, a Main Menu, similar to the one shown below, appears on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several Setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press enter to accept and enter the sub-menu.

A brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. Following is a brief summary of each Setup category.
