BIOS Setup
The PCA-6781 system has built-in Award BIOS with a CMOS SETUP utility which
allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the board sup-plies the necessary power
to the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-
On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
