Date (mm:dd:yy):
You can set the date information in this item, month (mm), date (dd) and year (yy).
Time (hh:mm:ss):
You can set time information in this item, hour (hh), minute (mm) and second (ss).
Setup of the HDD operating mode [NORMAL, LBA, LARGE]
Since old operating systems were only able to support HDDs whose capacity was not bigger
than 528MB, any hard disk with more than 528MB was unusable. AWARD BIOS features a
solution to this problem: you can, according to your operating system, choose three
operating modes: NORMAL, LBA or LARGE.
The HDD auto detection option in the Main Menu will automatically detect the parameters
of your hard disk and the mode supported.
