BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system's ROM supports TM 3120/5400/5600 Transmeta processors. The
BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as
disk drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password
protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset
controlling the entire system.

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> key immediately allows you to
enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the "Reset" button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will
appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc>
to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.
