If the Server 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. The system boot will not be halted for any error No errors 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 Quick Power On Self Test When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items. First/Second/Third Boot Device These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, LAN and Disable.
BIOS SETUP Typematic Delay (Msec) When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for displaying the first and second characters. By default, this item is set to 250msec. Security Option This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default value is Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User Password every time you boot up.

BIOS SETUP Power Management Setup The Power Management Setup allows you to save energy of your system effectively.
BIOS SETUP Video Off Method This field defines the Video Off features. There are three options. V/H SYNC + Blank Default setting, blank the screen and turn off vertical and horizontal scanning. DPMS Allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature. Blank Screen This option only writes blanks to the video buffer. Video Off In Suspend When enabled, the video is off in suspend mode. The default setting is Yes.
BIOS SETUP Wake Up by PCI Card This field allows the system to wake up from a signal received from a PCI card such as a LAN card. Power On by Ring This field enables or disables the power on of the system through the modem connected to the serial port or LAN. Resume by Alarm This field enables or disables the resumption of the system operation. When enabled, the user is allowed to set the Date and Time.
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.
