User's Manual 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.
Award BIOS Setup Program 3-1 Standard CMOS Features The Standard CMOS Features 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.

User's Manual Floppy Disk Drives Choose the memory capacity and disk size that corresponds with that of your floppy disk drive(s). Video Select the type of video adapter present in your system. You can ignore this setting if you are using a VGA monitor since VGA BIOS automatically configures this setting. Halt When the system is powered on, BIOS performs a series of diagnosis tests called POST (Power On Self Test).

User's Manual D. Video Off Method This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors. See the next function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer. 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.
Award BIOS Setup Program 3-6 PNP/PCI Configuration This section provides IRQ and DMA setting information. By choosing the PNP/ PCI Configuration option from the CMOS Setup Utility menu (Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed. This sample screen contains the manufacturer's default values for the mainboard.
User's Manual 3-7 PC Health Status By choosing the PC Health Status option from the CMOS Setup Utility menu (Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed. This field shows you the current system temperature/external voltages input and the current CPU FAN and System FAN operating speed.
Award BIOS Setup Program 3-9 Load Fail-Safe Defaults Load Fail-Safe Defaults loads the default BIOS values directly from the CMOS Setup Utility menu (Figure3-1). If the stored record created by the setup program becomes corrupted and therefore unusable, these defaults will be loaded automatically when you turn on the computer.
User's Manual 3-11 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure 3-1). When the Security Option function is set to Setup, a password is required to enter BIOS and change BIOS settings.
Appendix Embedded Flash Utility This mainboard is equipped with an Erasable Flash ROM and an Embedded Flash Utility which allows the user to update the BIOS to a newer version. Embedded Flash Utility eases BIOS upgrade and eliminate the compatibility issue between different Flash ROM type and version of Flash utility.
