This chapter describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the EI5CM
embedded board. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:

BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your system’s ROM supports
Intel/Cyrix/AMD/IDT processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, parallel port and serial ports. It also
adds virus and password protection, as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset
controlling the entire system.

AMB-2020HT(T)-E User’s Manual

BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings.
The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS
is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you
are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines,
thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by
pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can
also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the
screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys
to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu
allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys for this menu. At the
bottom of the Main Menu just below the control keys section, there is another section that displays
information about the currently highlighted item in the list.
NOTE:If your computer cannot boot after making and
saving system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS
supports an override to the CMOS settings that
resets your system to its default.
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have
been carefully chosen by both Award and your
system manufacturer to provide the absolute
maximum performance and reliability.
