Award BIOS Setup and Watchdog Utilities
The Award BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This type of information is stored in a battery-backed RAM (CMOS RAM) that retains the
Setup information each time the power is turned off.
5.1 Entering Setup
There are two ways to enter the Setup program. You may either turn ON the computer and press <Del>
immediately, or press the <Del> and/or <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys simultaneously when the following
message appears at the bottom of the screen during POST (Power On Self Test).
TO ENTER SETUP PRESS DEL KEY
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system and try
again. This is possible by turning the system power to OFF then to ON, pressing the "RESET" button on
the system case, or by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys. If you do not press the keys
at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will be
prompted with the following:
PRESS <F1> TO CONTINUE, <CTRL-ALT-ESC> OR <DEL> TO ENTER SETUP
