AwardBIOS Setup All computer mainboards of this type have a 'Setup' utility program stored in the BIOS ROM that is used to create a record of the system configuration and settings. If you received your mainboard installed as part of a system, the proper entries have probably already been made. If so, you might want to call up the Setup Utility, as described later, to take a look at them, and perhaps record them for future reference, particularly the hard disk specifications. If you are installing the board or reconfiguring your system, you'll need to enter new setup information. This section explains how to use the program and make the appropriate entries.

If you don't have a chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously typing the , and keys, or by pushing the 'Reset' button on the system cabinet. You can also restart by turning the system OFF then ON. This message will then reappear: TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL - ALT - ESC OR DEL KEY 0 3 - 1
