3.1 Starting Setup

The AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The

BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of

checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an

operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating

system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

By pressing immediately after switching the system on, or

By pressing the key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the

screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).

Press DEL 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" button on the

system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing , , and

keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error

message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.

Press F1 to Continue, DEL to enter SETUP
