ESD Precautions

Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static
electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic
discharge, observe the following precautions:

 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install them.

 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted

portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to
discharge any static electricity on your body.

 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic

component stores, when handling boards and components.

Award BIOS Utility

The Phoenix-Award BIOS has a built-in Setup program that
allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This
type of information is stored in a battery-backed RAM (CMOS
RAM) that retains the Setup information each time the power is
turned off.

4.1 Entering Setup

There are two ways to enter the Setup program. You may
either turn ON the computer and press <Del> immediately, or
press the <Del> and/or <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys
simultaneously when the following message appears at the
bottom of the screen during POST (Power on Self Test).

TO ENTER SETUP PRESS DEL KEY

If the message disappears before you respond and you still
wish to enter Setup, restart the system and try again. This is
possible by turning the system power to OFF then to ON,
pressing the "RESET" button on the system case, or by
simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> 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 be
prompted with the following:

z Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk

This item automatically detects the clock speeds of the system
memory installed as well as the PCI interface. The options
available are Enabled and Disabled. The default setting is
Enabled.

z Speed Spectrum

This item directly relates to the EMI performance of the whole
system. When enabled, all system clocks run at slower speeds
thereby decreasing the electromagnetic interference to the
surrounding environment. Disabling this item improves the system
performance but simultaneously increase the EMI. The default
setting is Disabled.

4.15 Set Supervisor/User Password

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then.
The differences between are:

1. Supervisor password: can enter and change t he

options of the setup menus.

2. User password: just can enter but do not have the

right to change the options of t he setup menus.

When you select this function, the following message will
appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password with eight characters at most, and press
<Enter>. The password typed will now clear any previously
entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press
<Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and
not enter a password.

To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are
prompted to enter password. A message will confirm the
password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time
you enter Setup. This prevents any unauthorized person from
changing your system configuration.

Additionally when a password is enabled, you can also require
the BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots.
This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security
option is set to “System”, the password is required during boot
up and entry into Setup. If set as “Setup”, prompting will only
occur prior to entering Setup.
