Award BIOS Utility
Chapter 4 describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS
that comes with the NA-1531 / NA-1801. Also contained here are
instructions on how to set up the BIOS configuration.
3.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors in 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.
3.2 BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utilit y 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 its test
