4. BIOS Setup
4.1 Entering Setup
PHOENIX-AWARD™ has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM whose power is supplied by
a battery so that it can retain the setup information even when the power is turned off. Press
the key “Delete” when you Power on or Reboot the computer system. (i.e. After the logo
appears at the center of the screen, please press Delete to enter the BIOS setup program).
In the BIOS, make sure that everything is working fine before you try to optimize it for
maximum performance.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the CMOS only. If this
does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.
4.2 Main Menu
When you enter the PHOENIX -AWARD™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main will appear on the
screen. The Main allows you to select several configuration options. Use the left/right arrow
keys to highlight a particular configuration screen from the top menu bar or use the down
arrow key to access and configure the information below.
