Installation If the power-on-self-test goes well, hold down button on the keyboard to enter BIOS Setup. Next, follow the instructions in the next chapter, BIOS SETUP.
BIOS SETUP 4. BIOS Setup The motherboard uses AWARD BIOS, stored in a flash EEPROM. All of the configuration information will be stored in the CMOS. 4.1 BIOS Setup The AWARD BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
BIOS SETUP 4.2 Main Setup Menu When you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, a Main Menu appears on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several Setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press key to enter the sub-menu. A brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. Following is a brief summary of each Setup category.
BIOS SETUP Load Optimized Defaults Set Supervisor Password Set User Password Save & Exit Setup Exit Without Saving Setup defaults that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations. Change, set, or disable a supervisor password. The supervisor password allows complete access. Change, set, or disable an user password. The user password generally allows only power-on access.

BIOS SETUP completes its cycle. Next time when booting the system, a password prompt will appear if the password function is enabled. 4.13 Set User Password When you select this function, a message appears at the center of the screen “ENTER PASSWORD”. Type the password, up to eight characters, and press key. Typing a password clears any previously entered password from CMOS memory. Now the message changes to “CONFIRM PASSWORD”. Again, type the password and press key.
Troubleshooting 5. Troubleshooting 5.1 General Troubleshooting Tips 1) 2) 3) Is your system properly assembled and configured? a. Make sure the BIOS setup is set to default/optimal settings. Pressing or key to enter the setup, select Default or Optimal settings, then save and exit the setup. b. For Windows 2000 that require ACPI support, make sure the ACPI option on your BIOS is enable (Some EOL boards will not support it at all). c.
Troubleshooting vii. Modem Card and/or AMR viii. SCSI Card (if the motherboard does not equip with onboard SCSI) ix. Any other peripherals b. If you have extra peripherals or components, please do some swapping at a bare setup to narrow down the fault. 1. If the fault is the motherboard and you are certain of it and with all exhaustive attempts to get it to work even at bare minimum and with slowest speed setup, then it may require a repair or a replacement.
