BIOS SETUP BIOS Setup This chapter describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the board. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows: BIOS Introduction ............................................................................... 22 BIOS Setup .......................................................................................... 22 Standard CMOS Features .................................................................... 24 Advanced BIOS Features .............
BIOS SETUP BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports various processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS SETUP Standard CMOS Features “Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.
BIOS SETUP Time The time format is: Hour : 00 to 23 Minute : 00 to 59 Second : 00 to 59 To set the time, highlight the “Time” field and use the / or +/- keys to set the current time. IDE Primary HDDs / IDE Secondary HDDs The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four IDE hard disks or other IDE devices. Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first is the “Master” and the second is the “Slave”.
BIOS SETUP Video This field selects the type of video display card installed in your system. You can choose the following video display cards: EGA/VGA For EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA or PGA monitor adapters. (default) CGA 40 Power up in 40 column mode. CGA 80 Power up in 80 column mode. MONO For Hercules or MDA adapters. Halt On This field determines whether or not the system will halt if an error is detected during power up. No errors The system boot will not be halted for any error that may be detected.
BIOS SETUP Advanced BIOS Features This section allows you to configure and improve your system and allows you to set up some system features according to your preference.
BIOS SETUP Boot Up NumLock Status This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system. Gate A20 Option This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. Typematic Rate Setting When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled.
BIOS SETUP Advanced Chipset Features This Setup menu controls the configuration of the chipset. Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Advanced Chipset Features CPU Frequency Memory Frequency CAS Latency Video Memory Size Auto Auto Auto 8M Output Display Flat Panel Configuration CRT Press Enter Onboard Audio Onboard USB1.1 Onboard USB2.
BIOS SETUP Onboard Audio The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Enabled. Onboard USB 1.1 The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Enabled. Onboard USB 2.0 The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Enabled. In order to use USB 2.0, necessary OS drivers must be installed first. Please update your system to Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP1.
BIOS SETUP Integrated Peripherals This section sets configurations for your hard disk and other integrated peripherals. The first screen shows three main items for user to select. Once an item selected, a submenu appears. Details follow.
BIOS SETUP IDE HDD Block Mode This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive. Onboard Lan Boot ROM This feature allows users to enable or disable the onboard LAN boot ROM. The default setting is Disabled. Onboard Serial/Parallel Port These fields allow you to select the onboard serial and parallel ports and their addresses.
BIOS SETUP Power Management Setup The Power Management Setup allows you to save energy of your system effectively. Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Power Management Setup Power Management Disabled ** PM Timers ** Standby Mode Suspend Mode IRQ Wakeup Events Disabled Disabled Press Enter ITEM HELP Menu Level > Power Management The options for the power management setting are Disabled, Legacy and APM.
BIOS SETUP PNP/PCI Configurations This option configures the PCI bus system. All PCI bus systems on the system use INT#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value.
BIOS SETUP PC Health Status This section shows the parameters in determining the PC Health Status. These parameters include temperatures, fan speeds and voltages. Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility PC Health Status CPU Warning Temperature Current System Temp. Current CPU Temp Vcore(V) Vmem Vcc3(V) +5V +12V VBAT(V) 5VSB(V) Disabled 50°C/122°F 61°C/141°F 1.31 V 2.70V 3.47V 5.08 V 11.30 V 3.44 V 5.
BIOS SETUP Load Fail-Safe Defaults This option allows you to load the troubleshooting default values permanently stored in the BIOS ROM. These default settings are non-optimal and disable all high-performance features. Load Optimized Defaults This option allows you to load the default values to your system configuration. These default settings are optimal and enable all high performance features. Set Supervisor/User Password These two options set the system password.

APPENDIX B. Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ) Peripheral devices use interrupt request lines to notify CPU for the service required. The following table shows the IRQ used by the devices on board.
APPENDIX C. Watchdog Timer Configuration The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these sort of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.
