Software Guide
This chapter explains the Setup Utility for the Award BIOS, the
SCSI BIOS and drivers, and the system BIOS flash memory update
utility.
Award BIOS Setup
All computer mainboards of this type have a 'Setup' utility pro-
gram stored in the BIOS ROM that is used to create a record of the
system configuration and settings.
If
you received your mainboard
installed as part of a system, the proper entries have probably already
been made.
If
so, you might want to call up the Setup Utility, as de-
scribed later, to take a look at them, and perhaps record them for fu-
ture reference, particularly the hard disk specifications.
If
you are installing the board or reconfiguring your system,
you'll need to enter new setup information. This section explains how
to use the program and make the appropriate entries.
The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When you
turn
the
computer on, a screen message appears to give you an opportunity
to call up the Setup Utility. It displays during the POST (Power On
Self Test).
If
you don't have a chance to respond, reset the system by
simultaneously typing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by
pushing the 'Reset' button on the system cabinet. You can also restart
by turning the system OFF then ON.
This message will then reappear:
