Chapter 6 BIOS and System Setup

6.1 BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system's ROM supports Intel Celeron processors. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk
drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password
protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.

6.2 BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system configurations a nd settings. The BIOS ROM of the system
stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award
BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately
allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing
the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test
routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish
to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the "Reset" button or
simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can
also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following
message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to
select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help
and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.
