You are welcomed to visit our technical website to learn more about those features. http://english. aopen. com. tw/tech/techinside 48 Chapter 5 Setting BIOS Chapter 5 Setting BIOS 5. 1 Introduction System parameters can be modified by going into BIOS Setup menu; this menu allows you to configure the system parameters and save the configuration into the 128 bytes CMOS area (normally in the RTC chip or in the main chipset). The Phoenix-Award BIOSTM that installed in the Flash ROM of the motherboard is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as hard disk drives, serial and parallel ports. AOpen's R&D engineering team had optimized most BIOS settings of this motherboard. However, some default settings of BIOS cannot fine-tune those sections that controlled by chipset. Therefore, this chapter is intended to guide you and help you to configure some other settings. To enter BIOS setup menu, press <Del> when POST (Power-On Self Test) screen is shown on your monitor. 49 5. 2 How To Use Phoenix-AwardTM BIOS Setup Program Generally, you can use arrow keys to highlight items that you want to choose, press <Enter> key to select, and use <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys to change setting values. You can press <Esc> key to quit Phoenix-AwardTM BIOS setup program. The following table provides details about how to use keyboard in the Phoenix-AwardBIOS setup program. Key Description Page Up or + Page Down or Enter Esc Up Arrow Down Arrow Left Arrow Right Arrow F10 Change setting to next value or increase the value. Save changed settings and exit setup program. 5. 3 How To Enter BIOS Setup After finishing the jumper settings and connecting cables, you can power on and enter the BIOS Setup. Press <Del> during POST (Power-On Self Test) and choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal performance. Del 50 Standard CMOS Features The "Standard CMOS Setup" sets the basic system parameters such as the date, time, and the hard disk type. Use the arrow keys to highlight an item and <PgUp> or <PgDn> to select the value for each item. Standard CMOS Features > Date To set the date, highlight the Date parameter. Standard CMOS features > Time To set the time, highlight the Time parameter. Press <PgUp> or <PgDn> to set the current time in hour, minute, and second format. Standard CMOS features > IDE Channel 0 Master Standard CMOS features > IDE Channel 0 Slave Standard CMOS features > IDE Channel 2 Master Standard CMOS features > IDE Channel 2 Slave Standard CMOS features > IDE Channel 3 Master Standard CMOS features > IDE Channel 3 Slave This item lets you select the IDE hard disk parameters that your system supports.
