3.1 Entering the Award BIOS Setup Menu
The BIOS setup utility is a segment of codes/routines residing in the BIOS
Flash ROM. This routine allows you to configure the system parameters and
save the configuration into the 128 byte CMOS area, (normally in the RTC chip
or directly in the main chipset). To enter the BIOS Setup, press
during
POST (Power-On Self Test). The BIOS Setup Main Menu appears as follows.
Tip: Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for
recommended optimal performance. Choose
"Load Turbo Defaults" for best performance
with light system loading. Refer to section 3.7.
The section at the bottom of the screen tells how to control the screen. Use the
arrow keys to move between items,
to color scheme of the display,
to exit, and to save the changes before exit. Another section at the
bottom of the screen displays a brief description of the highlighted item.
After selecting an item, press
to select or enter a submenu.
