The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the
Main Menu just below the control keys section, there is another section, which displays information on the currently
highlighted item in the list.


Note:

If the system cannot boot after making and saving
system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports
an override to the CMOS settings that resets your
system to its default.

Warning
:

It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have
been carefully chosen by both Award and your system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults
could cause the system to become unstable and crash
in some cases.

Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system
and set the system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not
need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system
hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or
damaged.
