Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program will gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
The Main Menu Once you enter Award ® BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from 12 setup functions and 2 exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Load Standard Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the minimal/stable performance system operation. Save & Exit Setup Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup. Exit Without Saving Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup. Standard CMOS Features The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into several categories.
