4.BIOS CONFIGURATION
Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-
backed CMOS SRAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power
is turned off.
4.1. ENTERING SETUP
Power ON the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you 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" bottom on the system case. You may also restart by
simultaneously press <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys.

Window press <Esc>.
4.4. THE MAIN MENU
Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 4.1)
will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from nine
setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the
items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.

• Date
The date format is <day>, <month> <date> <year>.
day The day, from Sun to Sat, determined by the BIOS and is
display-only
month The month, Jan. Through Dec.
date The date, from 1 to 31 (or the maximum allowed in the
month)
year The year, from 1994 through 2079
• Time
The times format in <hour> <minute> <second>. The time is calculated
base on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.
• IDE Primary Master, Slave / Secondary Master, Slave
The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has
been installed in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and user
definable type. User type is user-definable; Auto type which will
automatically detect HDD type.
Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table.
The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for
this category.
If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the
following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and
press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the documentation
form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

• Video
The category detects the type of adapter used for the primary system
monitor that must match your video display card and monitor. Although
secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to select the type in
setup.

• Halt on
The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is
detected during power up.
NO Errors The system boot will not stop for any error that
may be detected and you will be prompted
All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the
system will be stopped
All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error;
it will stop for all other errors
All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will
stop for all other errors
All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or
disk error; it will stop for all other errors
• Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On
Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or
conventional) memory installed in the system.
The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems
with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for
systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the
motherboard.

• CPU cache
This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on
the computer. If it is set to Enable, BIOS will shorten or skip some check
items during POST.
During POST, BIOS will determine the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or
80 tracks. 360 K type is 40 tracks 720 K, 1.2 M and 1.44 M are all 80
tracks. The default value is Enabled.
Enabled BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine it is 40 or
80 tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720 K, 1.2 M or
1.44 M drive type as they are all 80 tracks
Disabled BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by
track number. Note that there will not be any warning
message if the drive installed is 360 K

prompt
Setup The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied if
the correct password is not entered at the prompt
