CHAPTER 8 Award BIOS Setup This chapter describes how to set BIOS configuration data.
8.1 Award BIOS Setup The PPC-A84 comes with an Award BIOS chip that contains the ROM setup for your system. This chip serves as an interface between the processor and the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter explains the information contained in the setup program and tells you how to modify the settings according to your system configuration. Some setup items will not be explained, because it is recommended that users do not change such items.
A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS RAM that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This program is executed when the user changes the system configuration; when the user changes the system backup battery; or when the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the setup program. At power-on RAM testing, the message "Press DEL to enter Setup" appears. After pressing the "DEL" key, the CMOS setup utility screen will appear as shown in Fig. 8-1.
8.3.1 Hard Disk Configurations TYPE: Select from 1 to 45 to fill the remaining fields with predefined values for disk drives. Select "User" to fill the remaining fields. Select "Auto" to detect the HDD type automatically. SIZE: Hard disk size. The unit is megabytes (MB). CYLS: The cylinder number of the hard disk. HEAD: The read/write head number of the hard disk.
