Award BIOS Setup Program Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 3 3 3 3 3 Award BIOS Setup Program Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it can retain the setup information, even when the power is turned off.
User's Manual 3-1 Standard CMOS Setup The Standard CMOS Setup allows users to configure system components such as hard disk drive, floppy disk drive and video display as well as date, time and boot- up error signaling. This configuration menu should be changed when installing a mainboard for the first time, changing hardware in your system such as the HDD, FDD, video display, or when the CMOS data has been lost or contaminated.
Page 27
Award BIOS Setup Program Type (Auto/User/None): Use the fields under the Type column to determine the method you will use to configure the IDE devices. If you choose Auto, BIOS will automatically detect and make optimal settings for most IDE hard drives. The mainboard manufacturer recommends that you choose Auto for all drives.

Figure 3-6 Power Saving Mode Flow Chart The computer runs in Normal operation mode until the Doze timer expires, at which point the computer enters Doze mode.
Page 37
Award BIOS Setup Program Blank - BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity saved in this mode is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver to prevent screen damage while the screen is on but not in use. V/H SYNC+Blank - The system turns off the vertical and horizontal syn- chronization ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's electron gun turns off.
Page 38
User's Manual I. Standby Mode The Power Management function must not be set to disabled to enable this function. If the system runs in Doze mode and the Standby timer expires, the system will enter Standby mode. In Standby mode, the hard disk drive and the monitor shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed.
