Award BIOS

This chapter tells how to configure the system parameters. You may update
your BIOS via AWARD Flash Utility.

3.1 Entering the Award BIOS Setup Menu

The BIOS setup utility is a segment of codes/routines residing in the BIOS
Flash ROM. This routine allows you to configure the system parameters and
save the configuration into the 128 byte CMOS area, (normally in the RTC chip
or directly in the main chipset). To enter the BIOS Setup, press
POST (Power-On Self Test). The BIOS Setup Main Menu appears as follows.
Important: Because the BIOS code is the most often
changed part of the mainboard design, the BIOS
information contained in this chapter (especially the
Chipset Setup parameters) may be a little different
compared to the actual BIOS that came with your
mainboard.
