Page 46: Appendix Ii: Abs (Albatron Bios Security) Card Setup
Appendix II: ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) Card Setup Introduction The ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) system provides your system with a recovery BIOS backup when your onboard BIOS has been damaged beyond system boot capability. Preparation and Setup You should prepare a boot floppy disk and have it ready in case of such BIOS failures. Otherwise you will have to find another computer to make the boot floppy disk from. - Page 47 Place the boot floppy disk (from the “Preparation and Setup” section) into the floppy drive and turn on your system. Note: If your system is not setup to use the floppy drive as the first boot drive, you must enter the BIOS setup utility and make the appropriate adjustments.

The initial AWARD BIOS FLASH screen (shown below-left) will appear and prompt you with the message, “Do you want to save BIOS?” Type “N” (Note: Typing “Y” is only used when saving the BIOS from the onboard BIOS to the floppy disk). Type N Type Y The next screen (shown above-right) will display a message “Press ’Y’...
- Page 49 10. During the next boot sequence, enter the BIOS utility program (Note: During the boot sequence you will be given a chance to enter the BIOS utility by pressing the “DEL” key on most systems). Load the system with the default settings, and save the changes before exit the BIOS utility program. Then the onboard BIOS recovery procedures are completed at this time.
- Page 50 11. After you have recovered your onboard BIOS, you can choose to remove or not remove the ABS Card from the mainboard. If you do choose to remove the ABS Card from the mainboard, make sure that the system is powered off before you remove the card.
