Introduction of BIOS
The BIOS is a program located in the Flash Memory on the motherboard.
This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system.
When you start the computer, the BIOS program gains control. The BIOS first
operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (Power on Self Test) for all the
necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware devices and configures the
parameters of the hardware synchronization. After these tasks are completed,
BIOS will give control of the computer back to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS
is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate with, it is the key factor
of system stability and of ensuring your system performance at best.

In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 4-1, you can see several options. We will
explain these options in the following pages. First, let us see the function keys

..
you may use here:
Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
Press !"#$ (up, down, left, right) to choose the option you

. want to confirm or modify.

Press <F10> to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu after

. you complet the setup of BIOS parameters.

Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys to modify the BIOS
parameters for the active option.

4-1 Enter Setup

Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your respond but you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by turning it OFF then ON button on the system case. You may
also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
If you do not press the keys at the proper time and the system does not boot, an
error message will display and you will be asked to

Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup

35
4-2 Getting Help

Load Optimized Defaults

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal
system operation performance. It is provided for the skillful users who want to
push the motherboard to get better performance. The Optimized setting does not go
through all the reliability and compatibility tests, it is verified only with limited
configurations and loading (for example, a system that is equipped with only one VGA
card and one DIMM. Do not use Optimized setting unless you fully understand the
items in chipset setup menu.

37
Load Standard Defaults
Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the optimum system performance.
Standard Defaults settings are relatively more reliable than Optimized Defaults.
All the product verifications, compatibility test reports and manufacture quality
controls are based on "Standard Defaults". We suggest you to use this setting
for normal operation. "Standard Defaults" is not the slowest setting for this
motherboard. If you need to verify an unstable problem, you may manually set the
parameter in "Advanced Chipset Features" to get slower and safer setting.

 4-9 PnP / PCI Configuration Setup
This section describes how to configure the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at the speed the CPU itself
keeps when CPU communicates with its own special components. This section covers
some very technical items and we strongly recommended that only experienced users
should make any change to the default settings.

Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all of the boot and Plug
and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless
you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95/98. If you set
this field to "manual", choose a specific resource by going into each sub menu that
follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a ">").
The settings are Auto (ESCD) or Manual.

IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, each system interrupt is assigned a type,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

47
4-13 Set Supervisor/ User Password
You can set supervisor password, user password, or both. The differences are:

Supervisor password: You can enter the setup menus and change the options.
User password: You can enter the setup menus but do not have the right to
change the options. When you select this function, the
following message will appear at the center of the screen to
assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password
typed will clear any previous password from CMOS memory. You will be
asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may
also press <Esc> to abort the selection without entering password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm if you want to disable the password. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup menus freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you have to enter it every time before you
enter the Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have the BIOS to request a
password at every time when your system is rebooted. This would prevent the
unauthorized user.

You can determine if the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu
and its Security option. If the Security option is set to "System", the password will
be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to "Setup",
the password is required only at the entry to Setup.
