AWARD BIOS SETUP

BIOS Instructions

Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify

the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be

stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power

is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay un-

changed unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive

replacement or a device is added.

It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the CMOS

only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.

To enter the Setup Program :

Power on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately, this will bring you into

the BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY.
