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 your computer 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. 
We strongly recommend 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. 
 
4.3 STANDARD CMOS FEATURES
The “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. 
 
 
At the bottom of the menu are the control keys for use on this menu. If you need any help in each item field, you 
can press the <F1> key. It will display the relevant information to help you. The memory display at the lower

following describes each item of this menu.
