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 (
) to highlight an item, and press
the [Enter] key to enter the sub-menu. The following keys help you navigate within Setup.
[Esc] Main Menu: Quit and do not save changes to CMOS RAM
Other pages: Exit the current page and return to the Main Menu
[PgUp] Increase the numeric value or make changes
