Feature Guide
This manual explains how to use this system mainboard and in-
stall upgrades. It provides an overview of the design and features of
the board and gives useful information if you want to change the con-
figuration of the board, or a system it is installed in.
How The Manual Is Organized
This manual is divided into four chapters:
Feature Guide - an overview of the board features
Upgrade Guide - upgrades for the board or system
Software Guide - the Setup Utility and other software
Technical Summary - technical reference
The manual assumes that your mainboard is already installed in
a computer system, so we've organized the contents to reflect this.
The first chapter introduces the mainboard's features and shows
where things are on the board in case you want to install an upgrade.
Chapter 2 explains how to install mainboard upgrades. It also
explains what to do if a system upgrade affects the mainboard.
Chapter 3 Explains the Award BIOS Setup Utility program you
use to create the system configuration record, as well as the other
programs that help set up your system.
Chapter 4 lists the settings and specifications for the mainboard
and explains the SCSI interface card.
Since we are assuming that your mainboard is already installed
in a system, it was most likely set up by your system dealer accord-
ing to the design specifications of your computer .
