Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after
installation.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the
chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that
might be hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people
or makes the equipment unsafe.
Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the
power cord before installing or removing a chassis or working near
power supplies
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always
check the circuit.
Operating Safety
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may
not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating
temperatures without adequate circulation. Be sure that the room in
which you choose to operate your system has adequate air
circulation.
Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows
cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis permits air leaks,
which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal
components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical
circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to
follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing
components to avoid these problems.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin
contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal part of the chassis.
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which
should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

3. BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup
Award‘s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a
battery-backed CMOS RAM so that this data will be retained even when the
power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM remains
unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard
drive replacement or new equipment installment.
Running AWARD BIOS
The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When the power of the computer
system is turned on, a screen message will appear to give you an opportunity to
call up the Setup Utility while the BIOS will enter the Power On Self Test (POST)
routines. The POST routines perform various diagnostic checks while initializing
the board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, the error
will be reported in one of two ways, a series of short beeps or an error message
on the screen. There are two kinds of errors, fatal and non-fatal. The system can
usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error
messages usually appear on the screen along with the following
instructions:
“ Press <F1> to RESUME ”
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up sequence.
After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:
“ Press DEL to enter SETUP ”
Entering Setup
Turn on the power of the computer system and press <Del> immediately. If you
don’t have the chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously pressing
the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the ‘ Reset ’ button on the
system cabinet. You can also restart by turning the system OFF then ON.
CMOS Setup Utility
To access the AWARD BIOS SETUP program, press the <DEL> key. The screen
display will appears as shown below:
