Award BIOS Setup
All computer mainboards of this type have a 'Setup' utility pro

system configuration and settings. If you received your mainboard

scribed later, to take a look at them, and perhaps record them for fu

If you are installing the board or reconfiguring your system,

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

simultaneously typing the
pushing the 'Reset' button on the system cabinet You can also restart
by turning the system OFF then ON.
This message will then reappear:
