4.3 Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and
the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or
the F1 key again.
4.4 In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer
no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings
which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we
strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These
defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to
provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small
change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
4.5 Main Menu
Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit
choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and
enter the sub-menu.

Note:
It is strongly recommended to reload Optimized setting if CMOS is lost or BIOS is
updated.
