Award BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The Setup
program allows users to configure the system. This configuration is then
stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information while the power is off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While
the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears
briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self­Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or
pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart
by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do
not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an
error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

4.3 Using Setup

In general, you can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter>
to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press
<F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more
details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

Save & Exit Setup

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a

special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off.
The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system
according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the
values the system is restarted again.

Load Optimized Defaults

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for
optimal performance system operations. While Award has designed the
custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has the right to
change these defaults to meet their needs.

When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box
with a message similar to:

Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal

performance system operations.
