Chapter 4: Award BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

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 memory(CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup
information when the power is turned off.
The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When you
finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically backed up
to Flash ROM. If operation in harsh industrial environments causes a soft
error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and automatically restore
the original data in Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for booting
Note: If you intend to change the CMOS setting without restoring the
previous backup, you have to click on"DEL" within two seconds of the
"CMOS checksum error..." display screen message appearing. Then enter
the "Setup" screen to modify the data. If the "CMOS checksum
error..."message appears again and again, please check to see if you
need to replace the battery in your system.
