The mainboard comes with a chip from Award BIOS that contains the ROM
Setup information for your system. This chip serves as an interface between
the processor and the rest of the mainboard components. This section ex-
plains the information contained in the Setup program and tells you how to
modify the settings according to your system configuration.

The Setup Utility program allows updates to the mainboard configuration
settings. The BIOS setup values will be saved in the CMOS. Setup is executed
when the user changes system configurations; changes the system backup
battery or the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the
Setup program. Use the arrow keys to select and press Enter to run the se-
lected program.
