This VIA82C693A chipset Apollo Pro-Plus comes with the AWARD BIOS from
AWARD Software Inc. Enter the AWARD BIOS program Main Menu by:
1. Turn on or reboot the system. After a series of diagnostic checks, the
following message will appear:
PRESS <DEL> TO ENTER SETUP
2. Press the <DEL> key and the main program screen will appear as follows:
3. Using the arrows on your keyboard, select an option, and press <Enter>.
Modify the system parameter to reflect the options installed in your
system.
4. You may return to the Main Menu anytime be pressing <ESC>.
5. In the Main Menu, “SAVE AND EXIT SETUP” saves your changes and
reboots the system, and “EXIT WITHOUT SAVING” ignores your changes
and exits the program.

Standard CMOS Setup allows you to record some basic system hardware con-
figuration and set the system clock and error handling. You only need to modify
the configuration values of this option when you change your system hardware
configuration or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory gets lost or
damaged.
Run the Standard CMOS Setup as follows:
1. Choose “STANDARD CMOS SETUP” from the Main Menu and a screen
with a list of options will appear.
2. Use one of the arrow keys to move between options and modify the
selected options by using PgUp/PgDn/+/- keys.
