The BIOS Setup
Program
This system comes with a chip from Award BIOS that contains the ROM
Setup information for your system. (This chip serves as an interface between
the processor and the rest of the system components.) This section explains
the information contained in the Setup program and tells you how to modify
the settings according to your system configuration.

The Setup utility program allows updates to the system configuration
settings. The BIOS setup values will be saved in the CMOS. It is
executed when you change the system configuration, you change the
system backup battery, or the system detects a configuration error and
asks you to run the Setup program. Use the arrow keys to select, and
press Enter to run the selected program.

Jumpers and Connectors Setting
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of
two or three metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic
cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a
jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and
to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.
The following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the
