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.

Chapter 7 Award BIOS Utility
Please pay more time and check all of detailed information for
BIOS settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the
SBC81202 CPU card. 7.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system
a standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds virus and
password protection as well as special support for detailed
fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
7.1 BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for
specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS
ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn ON
the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated.
Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the
Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with i ts test routines,
thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to
enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the
or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete>
keys. You can also restart by turning the system OFF and back
ON again. The following message will appear on the screen:
’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors in
”Reset” button
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items,
<Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change
entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will
appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select
from various setup functions and exit choices.
Award Bios Setup 31
SBC81202VG LGA775 SBC User Manual
The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displa ys
the control keys for this menu. Another section located at the
bottom of the Main Menu, just below the control keys sectio n,
displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list.
NOTE: If you find that your computer cannot boot
after making and saving system changes with Setup,
the Award BIOS, via its built-in override feature,
resets your system to the CMOS default settings.
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to
the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully
chosen by both Award and your system manufacturer to
provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability.
32 Award BIOS Setup
SBC81202VG LGA775 SBC User Manual
7.2 Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the
system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already
installed in a working system, you will not need to select this
option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option,
however, if you change your system hardware configurations,
the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the
CMOS memory was lost or damaged.
At the bottom of the menu are the control keys for use on this
menu. If you need any help in each item field, you can press
the <F1> key. It will display the relev ant information to help
you. The memory display at the lower right-hand side of the
menu is read-only. It will adjust automatically according to the
memory changed. The following pages describe each item of
this menu.
