BIOS Configuration
Introduction to Setup
This manual describes the Award BIOS Setup program. The Setup program lets
you modify basic system configuration settings. The settings are then stored
in a dedicated battery-backed memory, called NVRAM, that retains the
information when the power is turned off.
The Award BIOS in your computer is a customized version of an industry-
standard BIOS for IBM PC AT–compatible personal computers. It supports
Intel x86 and compatible processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level
support for the system central processing, memory, and I/O subsystems.
The Award BIOS has been customized by adding important, but nonstandard,
features such as virus and password protection, power management, and
detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the system. The rest of this
manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your
system using Setup.
