3.2 BIOS Setup
The ARK-4153 Series systems have built-in AwardBIOS with a BIOS SETUP utility
which allows the user to configure required settings or to activate certain system fea-
tures.
The BIOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power
to the CMOS RAM so that configuration settings are retained.
To access the BIOS CMOS SETUP screen, when system power is turned on, press
the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test).
