BIOS Setup

Introduction

This manual discussed Award™ Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup

program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is

then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power

is turned off.

The Award BIOS™ installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory) is a

custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports IntelTM

processors input/output system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard

devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.

Adding important has customized the Award BIOS™, but nonstandard, features such as

virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the

chipset controlling the entire system.

The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your

system using Setup.

Plug and Play Support

These AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification. ESCD

(Extended System Configuration Data) write is supported.

EPA Green PC Support

This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC specification.

APM Support

These AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power Management

(APM) specification. Power management features are implemented via the System

Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are supported.

Power to the hard disk drives and video monitors can be managed by this AWARD BIOS.

PCI Bus Support

This AWARD BIOS also supports Version 2.1 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component

Interconnect) local bus specification.

DRAM Support

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) are supported.

Supported CPUs

This AWARD BIOS supports the IntelTM CPU.

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the

<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit.

The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program by

using the keyboard.

Down arrow Move to next item

Left arrow Move to the item on the left (menu bar)

Right arrow Move to the item on the right (menu bar)

Esc Main Menu: Quit without saving changes

Submenus: Exit Current page to the next higher level menu

Move Enter Move to the item you desired

PgUp key Increase the numeric value or make changes

PgDn key Decrease the numeric value or make changes

+ Key Increase the numeric value or make changes

- Key Decrease the numeric value or make changes

F1 key General help on Setup navigation keys

F6 key Load the fail-safe defaults from BIOS default table

F7 key Load the optimized defaults

F10 key Save all the CMOS changes and exit

1 Main Menu

Once you enter Award BIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the

screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions. Use the arrow

keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu.

WARNING

The information about BIOS defaults on manual (Fi

ure

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) is just for reference, please refer to the BIOS

installed on board, for update information.

 Figure 1. Main Menu

Standard CMOS Features

This submenu contains industry standard configurable options.

Advanced BIOS Features

This submenu allows you to configure enhanced features of the BIOS.

Advanced Chipset Features

This submenu allows you to configure special chipset features.

Integrated Peripherals

This submenu allows you to configure certain IDE hard drive options and Programmed

Input/ Output features.

Power Management Setup

This submenu allows you to configure the power management features.

PnP/PCI Configurations

This submenu allows you to configure certain “Plug and Play” and PCI options.

PC Health Status

This submenu allows you to monitor the hardware of your system.

Frequency/ Voltage Control

This submenu allows you to change CPU Vcore Voltage and CPU/ PCI clock. (However,

this function is strongly recommended not to use. Not properly change the voltage

and clock may cause CPU or M/B damage!)

Load Optimized Defaults

This selection allows you to reload the BIOS when the system is having problems

particularly with the boot sequence. These configurations are factory settings optimized

for this system. A confirmation message will be displayed before defaults are set.

Set Supervisor Password

Setting the supervisor password will prohibit everyone except the supervisor from making

changes using the CMOS Setup Utility. You will be prompted with to enter a password.

Set User Password

If the Supervisor Password is not set, then the User Password will function in the same way

as the Supervisor Password. If the Supervisor Password is set and the User Password is

set, the “User” will only be able to view configurations but will not be able to change them.

Save & Exit Setup

Save all configuration changes to CMOS(memory) and exit setup. Confirmation message

will be displayed before proceeding.

Exit Without Saving

Abandon all changes made during the current session and exit setup. Confirmation message

will be displayed before proceeding.

Upgrade BIOS

This submenu allows you to upgrade bios.

2 Standard CMOS Features

The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into 10 categories. Each category

includes no, one or more than one setup items. Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and

then use the<PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item.
