Introduction of BIOS Chapter 3 3-1 Introduction of BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Read-Only Memory chip on the mainboard. This program will not be lost when you turn the computer off. This program is also referred to as the boot program. It is the only channel for the hardware circuit to communicate with the operating system.
3-2 Chapter 3 Three to five seconds after the message is displayed, if you press the Del key, you will access the BIOS Setup menu. At that moment, the BIOS will display the following message: Fig 3 BIOS Setup main menu In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here: l Press Esc to quit the BIOS Setup.
Introduction of BIOS 3-3 ¬ CPU Setup ¡i CPU SOFT MENU™ ¡j The CPU can be setup through a programmable switch (CPU SOFT MENU™ ), that replaces traditional manual hardware configuration. This feature allows the user to complete more easily the installation procedures. You can install the CPU without configuring any jumpers or switches. The CPU must be setup according its specifications. In the first option, you can press at any time to display all the items that can be chosen for that option.
3-4 Chapter 3 CPU Operating Speed: This option sets the CPU speed. In this field, the CPU speed is indicated like this: CPU speed (external clock x multiplier factor) Select the CPU speed according the type and the speed of your CPU. ¡i Note 1 ¡j For Intel Pentium II MMX CPUs, you can choose the following settings: ä 233 (66x3.5) ä 266 (66x4) ä 300 (66x4.
Introduction of BIOS 3-5 ä Disable: CPU external clock is operating within the normal limits. ä Enable: CPU external clock is operating within the limits of the Turbo mode. Solution in case of booting problem due to invalid clock setup: Normally, if the CPU clock setup is wrong, you will not be able to boot. In this case, turn the system off than on again. The CPU will automatically use its standard parameters to boot. You can then enter BIOS Setup again and set up the CPU clock.
3-6 Chapter 3 Note : The increase by 2.5% of the CPU speed is not a standard feature of this product. It is only for use by our development department to verify that the CPU is able to work normally when CPU speed, operating temperature and power supply are 2.5% higher or lower than the standard values. This is to guarantee product stability.
Introduction of BIOS 3-7 - Standard CMOS Setup Menu It is the basic configuration parameters of the BIOS. These parameters include the settings of date, hour, VGA card, FDD and HDD. Fig 3-2 l Standard CMOS Setup Menu Set up of HDD operating mode ¡i NORMAL, LBA, LARGE ¡j Since old operating systems were only able to support HDD whose capacity was not bigger than 528MB, any hard disk with more than 528MB was unusable.
3-8 Chapter 3 ä LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode: LBA mode supports hard disk drives up to 8.4Giga. This mode uses a different method to calculate the position of disk data to be accessed. It translates Cylinders (CYLS), Heads and Sectors into a logical address where data are located. The Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors displayed in this menu do not reflect the actual structure of the hard disk, they are just reference values used to calculate actual positions.
Introduction of BIOS 3-9 ® BIOS Features Setup Menu BIOS Features Setup Menu has already been set for maximum operation. If you do not really understand each of the options in this menu, we recommend you use default values. In each item, you can press at any time to display all the options for this item. Fig 3-3 BIOS Features Setup Virus Warning: This item can be set as Enable or Disable.
3-10 Chapter 3 This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU external cache. When the external cache is enabled, the system works faster. The default is Enable. Quick power on self test: After the computer has been powered on, the BIOS of the mainboard will run a series of tests in order to check the system and its peripherals. If the Quick power on self test feature is Enable, the BIOS will simplify the test procedures in order to speed up the boot process. The default is Enable.
Introduction of BIOS 3-11 ä Off: At boot up, the Numeric Keypad is in cursor control mode. IDE HDD Block Mode: This item can be set as Enable or Disable. Most of new hard disk drives (IDE drives) support multi-sector transfers. This feature speeds up hard disk drive access performance and reduces the time necessary to access data. When this item is enabled, the BIOS will automatically detect if your hard disk drive supports this feature or not, and will choose the right settings for you.
3-12 Chapter 3 Security Option: This option can be set to System or to Setup. After you have created a password through PASSWORD SETTING, this option will deny access to your system (System) or modification of computer setup (BIOS Setup) by unauthorized users. ä SYSTEM: When you choose System, a password is required each time the computer boots up. If the correct password is not given, the system will not start. ä SETUP: When you choose Setup, a password is required only when accessing the BIOS Setup.
Introduction of BIOS 3-13 Video BIOS Shadow: This option is used to define whether the BIOS on the video card uses shadow feature or not. You should set this option to Enable, otherwise the display performance of the system will greatly decrease. Shadowing address ranges (C8000-CBFFF Shadow): This option allows you to decide if the memory block (BIOS) of an interface card at the address C8000-CBFFF uses the shadow feature or not.
3-14 Chapter 3 Shadowing address ranges (DC000-DFFFF Shadow): This option allows you to decide if the memory block (BIOS) of an interface card at the address DC000-DFFFF uses the shadow feature or not. If you have no interface card using this memory block, don’t enable this option. Computer knowledge SHADOW What is the SHADOW? The BIOS of standard video or interface cards is stored in ROM, and it is often very slow. With the Shadow feature, the CPU reads the BIOS on the VGA card and copies it into RAM.
Introduction of BIOS 3-15 ¯ Chipset Features Setup Menu The Chipset Features Setup Menu is used to modify the contents of the buffers in the chipset on the mainboard. Since the parameters of the buffers are closely related to hardware, if the setup is not correct or false, the mainboard will become unstable or you will not be able to boot up. If you don’t know the hardware very well, use default values (use the LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS option).
3-16 Chapter 3 Attention:Unless you are very familiar with your computer and with the DRAM configuration and speed, we recommend you not change the DRAM options but enable this option. DRAM settings: The other DRAM settings are all closely related to hardware. If you do not understand this very well, don’t make any changes. Our BIOS is able to autodetect the characteristics of your DRAM and to choose the best settings. Memory Hole At 15M-16M: This option is used to free up the 15M-16M memory block.
Introduction of BIOS 3-17 ° Power Management Setup Menu The difference between Green PCs and traditional computers is that Green PCs have a power management feature. With this feature, when the computer is powered on but inactive, the power consumption is reduced in order to save energy. When the computer operates normally, it is in Normal mode.
3-18 Chapter 3 2. Use arrow keys to go to the item you want to configure. To change the settings, use "PgUP", "PgDn", "+" and "-". 3. After you have configured the Power Management feature, press “Esc” to go back to the Main Menu. We are now going to briefly explain the options in this menu: Power Management: Four options: ä User Define User Define defines the delay for accessing the power modes. ä Min Saving When the three saving modes are enabled, the system is set up for minimum power savings.
Introduction of BIOS 3-19 Video Off After: Select the saving mode in which the video is switched off. ä NA The video will never be switched off in no saving mode. ä Doze The video will be switched off in all saving modes. ä Standby The video will only be switched off in Standby or Suspend mode. ä Suspend The video will only be switched off in Suspend mode.
3-20 Chapter 3 Suspend Mode: When the setting selected for "Power Management" is "User Define", you can define for this mode any delay from 1 minute to 1 hour. If no power management event occurs during this time period, meaning the computer is inactive during this period, the system will enter the Suspend power saving mode. The CPU stops working completely. If this mode is disabled, the system will not enter the Suspend mode. Throttle Duty Cycle: This is used to specify the CPU speed in saving mode.
Introduction of BIOS 3-21 Resume by Alarm : RTC alarm can turn on the system . You can set date ( of month ) and time ( hour , minute , second ) .
3-22 Chapter 3 ± PCI & Onboard I/O Setup In this menu, you can change the INT# and IRQ of the PCI bus and the onboard I/O device, I/O port address and other hardware settings. Fig 3-6 PCI & Onboard I/O Setup PnP OS Install : Device resource assigned by PnP OS or BIOS. Force Update ESCD: If you want to clear ESCD data next time you boot up, and ask the BIOS to reset the settings for the Plug & Play ISA Card and the PCI Card, select Enabled.
Introduction of BIOS 3-23 Resources Controlled By: When you select Auto, the BIOS will automatically assign the IRQ and DMA to PCI / ISA PnP . When this option is Manual, you can choose which IRQ or DMA can assign to PCI / ISA PnP . PCI IDE Card 2nd Channel: This option can be enabled or disabled. BIOS default is Enable. Since this channel uses IRQ15, if you want to use this channel, you have to enable this option to make the BIOS assign IRQ15 to this channel.
3-24 Chapter 3 On board Serial Port 1: This is used to specify the I/O address and IRQ of Serial Port 1. Ten options are available: Disable, 3F8h/IRQ4, 2F8h/IRQ3, 3E8h/IRQ4 or 2E8h/IRQ3.3F8h/IRQ10, 2F8h/IRQ11, 3E8h/IRQ10, 2E8h/IRQ11, and AUTO.

General Discussion about HDD Installation Appendix B B-1 General Discussion about HDD Installation Most of the present HDDs use IDE interface. Installing an IDE hard disk does not require a huge amount of intelligence like installing the driver for a SCSI hard disk, but this means that the user often must install the hard disk by himself and cope with all the problems he may encounter. Here, we will try to help you solve these possible problems.
B-2 Appendix B The higher the MODE value is, the best is the hard disk data transfer rate. But this does not mean that you can select the highest mode value as you like. You must be sure that your hard disk supports that type of fast data transfer, otherwise your hard disk will not be able to operate correctly. Here are some examples of data transfer rates for IDE HDD with DMA mode: DMA Mode 0 The fastest data transfer rate reaches 4.16Mbyte/sec DMA Mode 1 The fastest data transfer rate reaches 13.
General Discussion about HDD Installation B-3 Installing a hard disk: In the Standard CMOS Setup Menu, ♦ Primary means the first connector on the mainboard, that is, connector IDE1 on our mainboard. ♦ Secondary means the second connector on the mainboard, that is, connector IDE2 on our mainboard. ♦ Two HDDs can be connected to the each connector: The first HDD is referred to as Master, The second HDD is referred to as Slave. The Master or Slave status of the hard disk drive is set on the hard disk itself.
B-4 Appendix B Installing two HDDs: The red line on the connection cable must be lined up with pin 1 on the connector. Method 1: Set the hard disk drive used for boot up at Master, and the other drive at Slave. Connect one of the connectors of the 40-pin cable to the first drive, another connector to the second drive, and the other end of the cable to connector IDE1 on the mainboard.
General Discussion about HDD Installation B-5 Installing three HDDs: The red line on the connection cable must be lined up with pin 1 on the connector. Method 1: Set the hard disk drive used for boot up at Master, set the second drive at Slave. Connect one connector of the 40-pin cable to the first drive, another connector to the second drive, and the other end of the cable to connector IDE1 on the mainboard.
B-6 Appendix B ♦ If one or several of your HDD are old, and if you don’t want to erase the data stored in your drives, you will have to remember the parameters (Type, Cylinders, Heads, Sectors, Mode) of the drive(s) you don’t want to erase. After you have used the IDE HDD Auto Detection option in the CMOS, enter the Standard CMOS Setup Menu to change the settings of the related hard disk drive.
