2-7 Starting Up Your Computer 1. After all connection is made, close your computer case cover. 2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to the local voltage, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used.
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 the operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates a self-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.
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 fourteen setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Page 29
Use this menu to specify your settings for frequency clock control. Load Fail-Safe Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for the stable performance system operation. Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are settings for optimal performances system operations.
3-4 Standard CMOS Features The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into several categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items. Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item.
