Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
The Main Menu Once you enter Award ® BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values these are setting for optimal performances system operations for performance use. Password Setting This entry for setting Supervisor password and User password Save & Exit Setup Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup. Exit Without Saving Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup.
Press PgUp/<+> or PgDn/<–> to select Manual, None, Auto type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If the type of hard disk drives is not matched or listed, you can use Manual to define your own drive type manually.

Enabled Activates automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector of hard disk partition table. CPU Internal Cache The default value is Enabled. Enabled (default) Enable cache Disabled Disable cache Note: The internal cache is built in the processor.
This option allow you to enable the ACPI Mode (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ). You can choose from Enabled and Disabled. HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability This option allow you to enable the HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) . You can choose from Enabled and Disabled. MPS Version Control For OS This option is only valid for multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies the version of the Multiprocessor Specification (MPS) that the motherboard will use.
