Award BIOS Setup

AR-B1675 User’s Guide

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The

Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information while the power is off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self-

Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter

Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

4.3 Using Setup

In general, you can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press

<F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.

Load Optimized Defaults

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations. While Award has designed the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs.

When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:

Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N

Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations.

Exit Without Saving

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y

This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
