Award BIOS
This chapter tells how to configure the system parameters. You may update your BIOS via AWARD Flash Utility.
Important: Because the BIOS code is the most often changed part of the mainboard design, the BIOS information contained in this chapter (especially the Chipset Setup parameters) may be a little different compared to the actual BIOS that came with your mainboard.

AWARD BIOS
4.1
Entering the Award BIOS Setup Menu
The BIOS setup utility is a segment of codes/routines residing in the BIOS Flash ROM. This routine allows you to configure the system parameters and save the configuration into the 128 byte CMOS area, (normally in the RTC chip or directly in the main chipset). To enter the BIOS Setup, press during POST (Power-On Self Test). The BIOS Setup Main Menu appears as follows.
Tip: Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal performance. Choose "Load Turbo Defaults" for best performance with light system loading. Refer to section 3.7. The section at the bottom of the screen tells how to control the screen. Use the arrow keys to move between items, F9 to change language, ESC to exit, and F10 to save the changes before exit. Another section at the bottom of the screen displays a brief description of the highlighted item. After selecting an item, press Enter to select or enter a submenu.

To set the date, highlight the Date parameter. Press current date. The date format is month, date, and year. or to set the
Standard CMOS Ã Time
To set the time, highlight the Time parameter. Press or to set the current time in hour, minute, and second format. The time is based on the 24 hour military clock.
Standard CMOS à IDE Primary Master à Type Standard CMOS à IDE Primary Slave à Type Standard CMOS à IDE Secondary Master à Type Standard CMOS à IDE Secondary Slave à Type
IDE Primary Master Auto Manual None This item lets you select the IDE hard disk parameters that your system supports. These parameters are Size, Number of Cylinder, Number of Head, Start Cylinder for Precompensation, Cylinder number of Head Landing Zone and Number of Sector per Track. The default setting is Auto, which enables BIOS to automatically detect the parameters of installed HDD at POST (Power-On Self Test). If you prefer to enter HDD parameters manually, select Manual. Select None if no HDD is connected to the system. The IDE CDROM is always automatically detected.

Advanced BIOS Features
This screen appears when you select the option "BIOS Features Setup" from the main menu.
Advanced BIOS Features à Virus Warning
Virus Warning Enabled Disabled Set this parameter to Enabled to activate the warning message. This feature protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk from virus intrusion. Any attempt during boot up to write to the boot sector of the hard disk drive stops the system and the following warning message appears on the screen. Run an anti-virus program to locate the problem.
! WARNING ! Disk Boot Sector is to be modified Type "Y" to accept write, or "N" to abort write Award Software, Inc.
Advanced BIOS Features à CPU Internal Cache
CPU Internal Cache Enabled Disabled Enabling this parameter activates the CPU internal cache. Disabling the parameter slows down the system. Therefore, we recommend that you leave it enabled unless you are troubleshooting a problem.
Advanced BIOS Features à External Cache
External Cache Enabled Disabled Enabling this parameter activates the secondary cache (currently, PBSRAM cache). Disabling the parameter slows down the system. Therefore, we recommend that you leave it enabled unless you are troubleshooting a problem.
