Safety Environmental Instruction
z Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any
area where it may become wet.
z 0 to 60 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request of the
main chipset)
z Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact malfunction
and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from the welding spots’
that connect components and PCB. Computer should go through an adaptive phase
before it boots when it is moved from a cold environment to a warmer one to avoid
condensation phenomenon. These water drops attached on PCB or the surface of the
components can bring about phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from
corrosion and oxidation from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can
burn the components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
z The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer. Using the
close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher temperature in the
inner of the case.
z Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may decrease
the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Introducing BIOS
Attention:
The BIOS options shown in this manual is for reference use only. We
reserve the right to update the BIOS version without advance notice.
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS
program will gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-d i agnostic test called POST (power
on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and
configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are
completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the
BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for
system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short
description of the function keys you may use here:
• Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
• Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want
to confirm or to modify.
• Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these
parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
• Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters
for the active option.
18
3-1 Entering Setup
Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your 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, or <Del> to enter Setup
3-2 Getting Help
Main Menu
The on-line description of the highlighted setup function is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
Status Page Setup Menu/Option Page Setup Menu
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window, press <Esc>.
3-3 The Main Menu
Once you enter Award® BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear
on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two
exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter
the sub-menu.
