Configuring the CMOS Setup Utility
The motherboard Award BIOS includes the CMOS Setup
Utility that creates a system configuration record that is
stored in CMOS memory on the board and is required by
the system to operate properly.
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined
by the BIOS Optimized Default settings which are stored
with the BIOS or are automatically detected and config-
ured without requiring User action. There are a few set-
tings that you may need to change depending on your
system configuration.
This section gives a brief profiles of the several sections
of the CMOS Setup Utility and indicates settings you might
need to change and those which you should not.
The CMOS Setup Utility User Interface
The CMOS Setup Utility user interface is simple and largely
self evident. The utility can only be operated from the
keyboard and all commands are keyboard commands.
The utility does not support mouse use. The commands
are straightforward and those available for the program
section you are in are listed at the bottom of the screen.
The main screen has few commands, other sections have
more. General Help, which lists the commands and their
functions is available at any time by pressing the F1 key.
Running the CMOS Setup Utility
The CMOS Setup Utility does not require an operating
system to run. You run the utility by typing the Del or
Delete key when the computer is starting to boot up. The
utility’s main screen will then appear.
