Award BIOS Setup

Award‘s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic

system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS

RAM so that this data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the

information saved in the CMOS RAM remains unchanged unless there is a configuration

change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment installment.

3.1 Running AWARD BIOS

The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When the power of the computer system is

turned on, a screen message will appear to give you an opportunity to call up the Setup Utility

while the BIOS will enter the Power On Self Test (POST) routines. The POST routines

perform various diagnostic checks while initializing the board hardware. If the routines

encounter an error during the tests, the error will be reported in one of two ways, a series of

short beeps or an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors, fatal and non-fatal.

The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error

messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:

“ Press <F1> to RESUME ”

Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up sequence. After the

POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

“ Press DEL to enter SETUP ”

Entering Setup

Turn on the power of the computer system and press <Del> immediately. If you don’t have the

chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete>

keys, or by pushing the ‘ Reset ’ button on the system cabinet. You can also restart by turning

the system OFF then ON.

3.2 CMOS Setup Utility

To access the Award BIOS HIFLEX SETUP UTILITY program, press the <DEL> key. The

screen display will appears as:

Main Program Screen

This screen provides access to the utility‘s various functions.

Listed below are explanation of the keys displayed at the bottom of the screen:

<ESC> : Exit the utility.

<Ç È Æ Å> : Use arrow keys Ç È Æ Å to move cursor to your desired selection.

<F1> : General Help

<F5> : Previous Values
