5-1. BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW The BIOS is a program used to initialize and set up the I/O system of the computer, which includes the PCI bus and connected devices such as the video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard. The BIOS provides a menu-based interface to the console subsystem. The console subsystem contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the hardware components and facilitates interaction between the system hardware and the operating system.
5-2. STANDARD CMOS SETUP The option allows you to record some basic system hardware configurations and set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option anymore. AMIBIOS SETUP – STANDARD CMOS SETUP (C) 2000 American Megatrends, Inc. All Rights Reserved Date (mm:dd:yyyy): Tue, Jul 03, 2001 Base Memory: 640 KB Time (hh:mm:ss): 15:07:14 Extd Memory: 127 MB Floppy Drive A: Floppy Drive B: 1.
Boot Sector Virus Protection This option protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against accidental modifications. Any attempt to write to them will cause the system to halt and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue or use a bootable virus-free floppy disk to reboot and investigate your system. The default setting is . This setting is recommended because it conflicts with new operating systems.
Floppy Access Control This option determines the floppy access method, which can be either read only or normal (read/write). When it is set, the data in the floppy is being read instead of being written.” Normal” allows the floppy to be read or written. HDD Access Control This option determines the hard disk access method, which can be either read only or normal (read/write). When it is set to read only, the data in the hard disk is being read instead of being written.
Wait for ‘F1’ If Error AMIBIOS POST error messages are followed by: Press to continue If this option is set to Disabled, the AMIBIOS does not wait for you to press the key after an error message.
Hit ‘DEL’ Message Display Set this option to Disabled to prevent the following message: Hit ‘DEL’ if you want to run setup It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the computer boots. Internal Cache This option specifies the caching algorithm used for the L1 internal cache memory. The settings are: Setting Disabled WriteBack WriteThru Description Neither L1 internal cache memory on the CPU or L2 secondary cache memory is enabled. Use the write-back caching algorithm.
5-4. ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP AMIBIOS SETUP – ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP (C) 2000 American Megatrends, Inc. All Rights Reserved Configure SDRAM Timing by SPD Enabled Available Options: SDRAM RAS# to CAS# delay 2 SCLKS Disabled SDRAM RAS# Percharge 2 SCLKS $ Enabled SDRAM CAS# Latency 2 SCLKS SDRAM Leadoff Cmd Timing Auto DRAM Integrity Mode Non-ECC DRAM Refresh Rate 15.
SDRAM RAS# to CAS# delay: When CPU saveS data from memory, it has to deliver RAS single first, and then CAS single. The item is to set up the interval between two singles. RAS# Precharge: This item is the time when RAS has to re-locate. CAS# Latency: This item is to set up a certain period of time for the memory to start writing and reading data when memory receives one CAS single.
Memory Hole at 15-16 MB This option specifies the range 15MB to 16MB in memory that cannot be addressed on the ISA bus. USB Function This option can enable or disable USB function USB Keyboard/Mouse Legacy Support These options are used to the USB function and it’s only useful in the DOS mode. ATX Power Supply Controller If the ATX Power Supply Controller function is , the system will get more functions such as shutting down the power by using software.
5-5. POWER MANAGEMENT This section is used to configure the power management features. This option allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of inactivity. AMIBIOS SETUP - Power Management Setup ( C ) 2000 American Megatrends.Inc.
Ring Resume From Soft Off This item is to set up the function of waking up the system from suspend mode and a ring bell while any access coming from Modem. Lan Resume From Soft Off This item is to set up the function of waking up the system from suspend mode. When encountering an access, the function will be available if system is fixed with an Ethernet card.
5-6. PCI/PLUG AND PLAY This section is used to configure PCI / Plug and Play features. The option configures the PCI bus slots. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value. AMIBIOS SETUP - PCI/PLUG AND PLAY SETUP ( C ) 2000 American Megatrends, Inc.
PCI VGA Palette Snoop This item is for BIOS to snoop the appearance of VGA palette, and modify it when it is necessary. DMA & IRQ These options specify the bus that the named IRQs/DMAs lines are used on. These options allow you to specify IRQs/DMAs for use by legacy ISA adapter cards. These options determine if the BIOS should remove an IRQ/DMA from the pool of availability of IRQs/DMAs passed to the BIOS configurable devices.
5-7. PERIPHERAL SETUP This section is used to configure the peripheral features. AMIBIOS SETUP - PERIPHERAL SETUP ( C ) 2000 American Megatrends, Inc.
5-8. AUTO-DETECT HARD DISKS This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive, and automatically enters them into the Standard CMOS Setup screen. 5-9. PASSWORD SETTING This BIOS Setup has an optional password feature. The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the system boots or when BIOS Setup is executed. The user can set either a Supervisor password or a User password. 5-10.
5-12-2. Auto Configuration with Fail Safe Setting The user can load the Fail-Safe BIOS Setup option settings by selecting the Fail-Safe item from the Default section of the BIOS Setup main menu. The Fail-Safe settings provide far from optimal system performance, but are the most stable settings. Use this option as a diagnostic aid if the system behaves erratically. Load failsafe settings (Y/N) ? 5-13. BIOS EXIT This section is used to exit the BIOS main menu.
5-14. BIOS UPDATE The BIOS program instructions are contained within computer chips called FLASH ROMs that are located on your system board. The chips can be electronically reprogrammed, allowing you to upgrade your BIOS firmware without removing and installing chips. The AR-B1682 provides the FLASH BIOS update function for you to easily update a newer BIOS version. Please follow these operating steps to update new BIOS: Step 1: Turn on your system and don’t detect the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
