BIOS 3.1 BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s. The BIOS provides for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS 3.2 BIOS Setup The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del>...
BIOS 3.3 Standard CMOS Features “Standard CMOS Features” allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU card is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option.

BIOS Halt On This field determines whether or not the system will halt if an error is detected during power up. All errors (default) Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error, the system will stop and you will be prompted. No errors The system boot will not be halted for any error that may be detected.
BIOS 3.4 Advance BIOS Features Hard Disk Boot Priority It allows you to set the priority for hard disk boot. When you press enter, the selections shows the current hard disks used in your system as well as the “Bootable Add-in Card” that is relevant to other boot sources media such as SCSI cards and LAN cards.
BIOS Hyper-Threading Technology If enabled, when your processor supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Setting: Disabled, Enabled (Default) Quick Power On Self Test When enabled, it speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items. Setting: Disabled, Enabled (Default).
BIOS Security Option It allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system always boots up and prompts for the Su- pervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up.
