INSTALLATIONS 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.

BIOS SETUP BIOS Setup This chapter describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the motherboard. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows: BIOS Introduction ......................................................................29 BIOS Setup.................................................................................29 Standard CMOS Setup................................................................31 Advanced BIOS Features .....................................
BIOS SETUP BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports x86 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 CMOS Setup Utility – Copyright © 1984-2001 Award Software Standard CMOS Features Advanced BIOS Features Advanced Chipset Features Integrated Peripherals Power Management Setup PnP/PCI Configurations PC Health Status Frequency/Voltage Control Load Fail-Safe Defaults Load Optimized Defaults Set Supervisor Password Set User Password Save & Exit Setup Exit Without Saving ESC : Quit F10 : Save & Exit Setup á â à ß : Select Item Time, Date, Hard Disk Type… The section below the setup items of th
BIOS SETUP Standard CMOS Setup “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. 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 First/Second/Third Boot Device These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS120,HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, and Disable. Boot Other Device These fields allow the system to search for an operating system from other devices other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device.
BIOS SETUP 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. When you select Setup, the system always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up. OS Select for DRAM > 64MB This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to access memory.
BIOS SETUP Advanced Chipset Features This Setup menu controls the configuration of the chipset.
BIOS SETUP AC97 Read Pre-Fetch The default setting is Enabled. PCI Slots Read Pre-Fetch The default setting is Enabled. PCI/14M/USB CLK PowerDown The default setting is Disabled. AGP Aperture Size (MB) The field sets aperture size of the graphics. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The default setting is 128M.
BIOS SETUP Integrated Peripherals This section sets configurations for your hard disk and other integrated peripherals. Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Integrated Peripherals On-Chip Primary PCI IDE Master PIO Slave PIO Master Ultra DMA Slave Ultra DMA On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE Master PIO Slave PIO Master Ultra DMA Slave Ultra DMA On-Chip USB1.1 Controller USB Keyboard Support On-Chip USB2.
BIOS SETUP The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode. IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and Disabled. On-Chip USB1.1 Controller The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Enabled.
BIOS SETUP Onboard FDC Controller Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on the motherboard and you wish to use it. If you install an add-in FDC or the system has no floppy drive, select Disabled in this field. This option allows you to select the onboard FDD port. 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.
BIOS SETUP Power Management This field allows you to select the type of power saving management modes. There are four selections for Power Management. Min. Power Saving Minimum power management Max. Power Saving Maximum power management. User Define Each of the ranges is from 1 min. to 1hr. Except for HDD Power Down which ranges from 1 min. to 15 min. PM Control by APM The default setting is No. Modem Use IRQ This field sets the IRQ used by the Modem. By default, the setting is 3.
BIOS SETUP WakeUp\PowerOn by PCI Card The default setting is Disabled. WakeUp\PowerOn by Ring The default setting is Disabled. CPU THRM-Throttling When the system enters Doze mode, the CPU clock runs only part of the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs. 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.
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 System Temp. 90°C/194°F 43℃/105℉ CPU Temp. 43℃/105℉ Chassis Temp. 43℃/105℉ FAN1 Speed FAN2 Speed Vcore(V) +3.3V +5V +12 V -12 V VBAT(V) 5VSB(V) Shutdown Temperature FAN1 Failure Warning FAN2 Failure Warning ITEM HELP 0 RPM 0 RPM 1.15 V 3.31 V 5.16 V 11.
BIOS SETUP Frequency/Voltage Control This section shows the user how to configure the processor frequency. Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Frequency/Voltage Control Spread Spectrum Disabled ITEM HELP Menu Level Spread Spectrum This field sets the value of the spread spectrum. The default setting is Disabled. This field is for CE testing use only.
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 Setup 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.
