Managing The PC BIOS
Once you have installed the mainboard you still need to setup the BIOS before
you can run your PC. The EEPROM on the mainboard stores the AWARD BIOS
CMOS Setup Utility, which allows you to configure your system. When you
want to configure or make any changes to the configuration of your system
BIOS you must run the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility.
GETTING STARTED
Every time you start your computer, the system provides you with an opportu-
nity to run the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility. As soon as you turn on your system,
press the <Delete> button to activate the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility.
If your computer finishes the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) the BIOS CMOS
Setup Utility will not be activated. If your computer completes the POST you
need to restart the system to activate the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility. To restart
the system, you can either turn the power off, press the reset button on your
chassis or press the <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> button. In all three cases the
system will restart and, to activate the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, you must im-
mediately press the <Delete> button.
