3. This setup options can let you define each device settings.
The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS in
the single board computer is a customized version of the in dustrial standard BIOS for IBM
PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and compatible CPU architecture bas ed
processors and computers. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for the system
central processing, memory and I/O sub-systems.
The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the basic
configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed memory,
NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery runs out of the
power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.
The BIOS section of the manual is subject to change without notice and is provid ed here for
reference purpose only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are c urrent at the ti me
of print, and therefore they may not be exactly the same as that displayed on your screen.
To activate CMOS Setup program, press <DEL> key immediately after you turn on the
system. The following message “Press DEL to enter SETUP” should appear in the lower left
hand corner of your screen. When you enter the CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will be
displayed as Figure 4-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function, press <Enter>
key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
File name of the tool is “awdflash.exe”, it’s the utility that can write the data into the
BIOS flash ship and update the BIOS.
B.2 <Flash BIOS Procedure>
1. Please make a bootable floppy disk.
2. Get the last .bin files you want to update and copy it into the disk.
3. Copy awardflash.exe to the disk.
4. Power on the system and flash the BIOS. (Example: C:/ awardflash XXX.bin)
5. Restart the system.
Any question about the BIOS re-flash please contact your distributors or visit the
