4-2. STANDARD CMOS SETUP
The <Standard CMOS Setup> option allows you to record some basic system hardware configurations and
set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in a working system, you will
not need to select this option anymore.
BIOS: Standard CMOS Setup
Date & Time Setup
Highlight the <Date> field and then press the [Page Up] /[Page Down] or [+]/[-] keys to set the current date.
Follow the month, day and year format.
Highlight the <Time> field and then press the [Page Up] /[Page Down] or [+]/[-] keys to set the current date.

The user can bypass the date and time prompts by creating an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For information on how

Floppy Setup
The <Standard CMOS Setup> option records the types of floppy disk drives installed in the system.

type using the left-or right-arrow key.
Hard Disk Setup
The BIOS supports various types for user settings, The BIOS supports <Pri Master> and <Pri Slave> so the
user can install up to two hard disks. For the master and slave jumpers, please refer to the hard disk’s
installation descriptions and the hard disk jumper settings.
You can select <AUTO> under the <TYPE> and <MODE> fields. This will enable auto detection of your IDE
drives during bootup. This will allow you to change your hard drives (with the power off) and then power on
without having to reconfigure your hard drive type. If you use older hard disk drives which do not support this
feature, then you must configure the hard disk drive in the standard method as described above by the
<USER> option.
Boot Sector Virus Protection
This option protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against accidental modifications.
Any attempt to write to them will cause the system to halt and display a warning message. If this occurs, you
can either allow the operation to continue or use a bootable virus-free floppy disk to reboot and investigate
your system. The default setting is <
Disabled >. This setting is recommended because it conflicts with new
operating systems. Installation of a new operating systems requires that you disable this to prevent write
