4.1 Starting Setup
The AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.
The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the pro-
cess of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will
seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over
to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
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
