Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to
modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified
data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS so data will be retained even when
the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will
stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard
drive replacement or a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data lose in CMOS only.
If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your configuration parameter.
To enter Setup Program
Power on the computer and press <Del> key immediately, this will bring you into
