chapter 4:BIOS Setting4.1 AWARD BIOS DescriptionThe BIOS (Basic Input/Output system) provides the low-level support forthe standard devices such as disk drives,serial and parallel ports.It containscodes for advanced features found on the system board such as virus andpassword protection.it is very important to configure the BIOS correctly;otherwise the system boardmay not work properly.There are three situations for the user to configure theBIOS.* The hardware configuration data stored in the BIOS need to be changedaccording to the new hardware installed.* To configure the provided special feature of the BIOS.* The CMOS RAM has lost the content due to out of battery.Starting AWARD BIOS setupThe bios read the system information contained in the CMOS and begins theprocess of checking out the system and configuring it. After the POST (PowerOn Self Test) has finished,it'll appear the following message on the screen:"Press DEL to enter SETUP"Press the <DEL>key to call up the Setup.When you invoke Setup,the CMOSSETUP main menu appears the following options.(Its option may have littledifference for different model).page 31Mainboard ManualBIOS Setting
