Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup
4.1 AWARD BIOS Setup
Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu
(Figure 4-1) will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to
select from nine setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys
to select the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored
in battery-backed CMOS so that it retains the setup information when the
power is turned off.
4.1.1 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and check for the "patch code". If there is a number
assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If
there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact Advantech's
application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will
ensure that your CPU's system status is valid. After ensuring that you
have a number assigned to the patch code, press <DEL> and you will
immediately be allowed to enter Setup.
