The ROM chip of your AW-A795 board is configured with a customized Basic Input/Output 

System (BIOS) from Phoenix-Award BIOS.    The BIOS is a set of permanently recorded 

program routines that give the system its fundamental operational characteristics.  It also 

tests the computer and determines how the computer reacts to instructions that are part of 

programs. 

 

The BIOS is made up of code and programs that provide the device-level control for the 

major I/O devices in the system.    It contains a set of routines (called POST, for Power-On 

Self Test) that check out the system when you turn it on.    The BIOS also includes CMOS 

Setup program, so no disk-based setup program is required CMOS RAM stores information 

for: 

  Date and time 
  Memory capacity of the main board 
  Type of display adapter installed 
  Number and type of disk drives   

 

The CMOS memory is maintained by battery installed on the AW-A795 board.    By using 

the battery, all memory in CMOS can be retained when the system power switch is turned 

off.    The system BIOS also supports easy way to reload the CMOS data when you replace 

the battery of the battery power lose. 

 

 

In most cases, you can quickly configure the system by choosing the following main menu 

options: 

 

1.  Choose “Load Optimized Defaults” from the main menu.    This loads the setup default 

values from the BIOS Features Setup and Chipset Features Setup screens. 

2.  Choose “Standard COS Features” from the main menu.    This option lets you configure 

the date and time, hard disk type, floppy disk drive type, primary display and more. 

3.  In the main menu, press F10 (“Save & Exit Setup”) to save your changes and reboot the 

system.
