Entering the Award BIOS Setup Menu
The BIOS setup utility is a segment of codes/routines residing in the BIOS
Flash ROM. This routine allows you to configure the system parameters and
save the configuration into the 128 byte CMOS area, (normally in the RTC
chip or directly in the main chipset). To enter the BIOS Setup, press
during POST (Power-On Self Test).
Tip: Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for
recommended optimal performance. Choose
"Load Turbo Defaults" for best performance
with light system loading. Refer to section 3.7.
The section at the bottom of the screen tells how to control the screen. Use
the arrow keys to move between items, F9 to change language, ESC to exit,
and F10 to save the changes before exit. Another section at the bottom of the
screen displays a brief description of the highlighted item.
After selecting an item, press Enter to select or enter a submenu.
