Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup The HS-1746 uses Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offering various options that could be selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist you in the proper usage of these features.
Using Setup In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the <PageUp> and <PageDown> keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate the Setup program using the keyboard.
Main Menu Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. Phoenix –...
Standard CMOS Features The Standard Setup is used for the basic hardware system configuration. The main function is for Data/Time and Floppy/Hard Disk Drive settings. Please refer to the following screen for the setup. When the IDE hard disk drive you are using is larger than 528MB, you must set the HDD mode to LBA mode.
Advanced BIOS Features This section allows you to configure your system for the basic operation. You have the opportunity to select the system’s default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation, shadowing and security. Phoenix – AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Advanced CMOS Features CPU Feature Press Enter Item Help...
Advanced Chipset Features This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and the access to the system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates the communications between the conventional ISA and PCI buses.
Integrated Peripherals The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.
