OS Setup BIOS Instructions Awards ROM BIOS provides a built in setup program which allows the user to modify basic system configuration and hardware parameters The modified data will be stored in a battery backed CMOS so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off In general the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system such as hard drive replacement or a device is added It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail this will cause data loss in the CMOS only If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings To enter the CMOS setup utility power on the computer and press the lt Del gt key immediately this will bring you into the BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY The menu displays all the major selection items Select the item you need to reconfigure The selection is made by moving the cursor press any direction key to the item and pressing the Enter key An on line help message is displayed at the bottom of the screen as the cursor 1s moved to various items which provides a better understanding of each function When a selection is made the menu of the selected item will appear so that the user can modify associated configuration parameters CHOS Setup Utility Copyright C 1984 2000 Award Software Standard CMOS Features gt Frequency Voltage Control Advanced BIOS Features Load Fail Safe Defaults Advanced Chipset Features L
