Chapter 2 System Utilities BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required setting or to active certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the mainboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the mainboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
Entering Setup Once enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (as figure below) will appear on the screen. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept or enter the sub-menu. Note: If you can’t find the setting you want, please press “Alt+F4” to search the advanced option hidden. As for the hidden options, we have annotations following those with further setting screen menu.

POST Error Messages List If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use “POST Error Messages List” to diagnose system problems. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in “Error Symptoms List” on page 90. NOTE: When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run a total system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change.
BIOS Messages Action/FRU Keyboard Error Or No Keyboard Present Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are pressed during POST. To purposely configure the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the missing keyboard during POST. Keyboard is locked out - Unlock the key This message usually indicates that one or more keys have been pressed during the keyboard tests.
