BIOS Setup This chapter describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the board. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows: BIOS Introduction ... 28 BIOS Setup... 28 Standard CMOS Setup ... 30 Advanced BIOS Features ... 33 Advanced Chipset Features ...
BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports 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.
