Award BIOS Setup
The Setup program built into the Award BIOS lets users modify
the basic system configuration. This special configuration
information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that the PC
retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The Award BIOS is a custom version of an industry standard
BIOS. It supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a standard
IBM-AT compatible input/output system. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives and serial and parallel ports.
The Award BIOS has been customized by adding important, but
non-standard, features such as virus and password protection
as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset
that controls the entire PC system.
Descriptions in this chapter will help you configure your system
using the BIOS Setup screens.
Note: MultiTech has pre-set the BIOS before shipping the CommPlete 4000.
In most cases, the user will not need to change any BIOS settings. How-
ever, if any hardware within the CommPlete 4000 has been changed, or if
the boot sequence has been changed, the user will need to revise the BIOS
accordingly.
