BIOS Setup Chapter 3. 3-1 BIOS Setup This motherboard provides a programmable EEPROM that you can update the BIOS utility. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program that deals with the basic level of communication between processor and peripherals. Use the BIOS Setup program only when installing motherboard, reconfiguring system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This chapter explains the Setup Utility of BIOS utility.
3-2 Chapter 3 3.1. Standard CMOS Features Date (mm:dd:yy) This item sets the date you specify (usually the current date) in the format of [Month], [Date], and [Year]. Time (hh:mm:ss) This item sets the time you specify (usually the current time) in the format of [Hour], [Minute], and [Second].
BIOS Setup 3-3 IDE Primary Master, IDE Primary Slave Click key to enter its submenu: IDE HDD Auto-Detection This item allows you to detect the parameters of IDE drives by pressing the key. The parameters will automatically be shown on the screen. IDE Primary Master When set to [Auto], the BIOS will automatically check what kind of IDE drive you are using.
3-4 Chapter 3 Head This item configures the numbers of read/write heads. Precomp This item displays the number of cylinders at which to change the write timing. Landing Zone This item displays the number of cylinders specified as the landing zone for the read/write heads. Sector This item configures the numbers of sectors per track. Back to Standard CMOS Features Setup Menu: Halt On This item determines whether the system stops if an error is detected during system boot-up.
BIOS Setup 3-5 3.2. Advanced BIOS Features BIOS Protect Control This option protects for accidentally BIOS writing attempt. NOTE: Make sure to set this item to “Non-Protect” when flashing the BIOS. CPU L3 Cache: This item is used to enable the L3 cache (default setting), and appears only for certain CPU (Intel Pentium 4 processor with HT Technology Extreme Edition) that possesses L3 cache.
3-6 Chapter 3 Quick Power On Self Test When set to [Enabled], this item speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after powering on the system. The BIOS shorten or skip some check during the POST. Hard Disk Boot Priority This item selects the hard disks booting priority. By pressing key, you can enter its submenu where the hard disks detected can be selected for the booting sequence to boot up system.
BIOS Setup 3-7 Remote Access Config: Click key to enter its submenu: Console Redirection: [Enabled]: Attempt to redirect console via COM port. [Disabled]: Attempt to redirect console when keyboard absent.
3-8 Chapter 3 3.3. Advanced Chipset Features DRAM Timing Selectable: This item sets the optimal timings for the following four items, depending on the memory module you are using. The default setting “By SPD” configures these four items by reading the contents in the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) device. The EEPROM on the memory module stores critical parameter information about the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage interface, and module banks.
BIOS Setup 3-9 Delayed Transaction When set to [Enabled], the PCI bus will be freed up when the CPU is accessing 8-bit ISA cards. This will allow PCI and ISA buses to be used more efficiently and prevents performance dropping on the PCI bus. This process normally consumes about 50-60 PCI clocks without PCI delayed transaction. Leave this item to its default [Disabled] setting when using ISA cards that are not PCI 2.1 compliant. Watch Dog Function This option controls the function for Watch Dog.
3-10 Chapter 3 3.4.
BIOS Setup 3-11 IDE Bus Master: This option enables or disables the IDE bus mastering capability under the DOS environment.

3-14 Chapter 3 [Disabled]: This option prevents the parallel port from accessing any system resources. When the value of this option is set to [Disabled], the printer port becomes unavailable. [378/IRQ7]: This option allows the parallel port to use [378/IRQ7] as its I/O port address. The majority of parallel ports on computer systems use IRQ7 and I/O Port 378H as the standard setting. [278/IRQ5]: This option allows the parallel port to use [278/IRQ5] as its I/O port address.
BIOS Setup 3-15 3.5. Power Management Setup ACPI Suspend Type: This item selects the type of Suspend mode. [S1 (PowerOn-Suspend)]: Enables the Power On Suspend function. [S3 (Suspend-To-RAM)]: Enables the Suspend to RAM function. Resume by OnChipset USB: When set to [Enabled], this item allows you to use a USB device to wake up a system that is in the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state. This item can be configured only if the item “ACPI Suspend Type” is set to [S3(STR)].
3-16 Chapter 3 WakeUp by PME# of PCI: When set to [Enabled], access to the onboard LAN or a PCI card such as a modem or LAN card will cause the system to wake up. The PCI card must support the wake up function. Resume by Alarm: When set to [Enabled], you can set the date and time you would like the Soft-Off PC to power-on in the “Date (of Month) Alarm” and “Time (hh:mm:ss) Alarm” items.
BIOS Setup 3-17 3.6. PnP/PCI Configurations Resources Controlled By This item configures all of the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices. [Auto(ESCD)]: The system will automatically detect the settings. [Manual]: Choose the specific IRQ resources in the “IRQ Resources” menu.
3-18 Chapter 3 IRQ Resources: Click key to enter its submenu: This item sets each system interrupt to either [PCI Device] or [Reserved]. PIRQ_0 Use IRQ No. ~PIRQ_7 Use IRQ No. This item specifies the IRQ number manually or automatically for the devices installed on PCI slots.
BIOS Setup 3-19 3.7. PC Health Menu Shutdown Temperature This item sets the temperature that would shutdown the system automatically in order to prevent system overheats. CPU Warning Temperature This item selects the CPU’s warning temperature limit. Once the system has detected that the CPU’s temperature exceeded the limit, warning beeps will sound.
