Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program will gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
3-3 The Main Menu Once you enter Award® BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Load Standard Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for the stable performance system operation. Set Supervisor/User Password Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords. Save & Exit Setup Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup. Exit Without Saving Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup. 3-4 Standard CMOS Features The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into several categories.
If you select Manual, related information is asked to be entered to the following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard. This information should be provided in the documentation from your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer. If the controller of HDD interface is SCSI, the selection shall be “None”. If the controller of HDD interface is CD-ROM, the selection shall be “None” Access Mode The settings are Auto Normal, Large, and LBA.
Enable cache Enabled (default) Disable cache Disabled Note: The L1&L2 cache is built in the processor. Hard Disk Boot Priority The selection is for you to choose the hard disk drives priorities to boot from. Quick Power On Self Test This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the computer. this is set to Enabled. BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.
This field is used to enable or disable the APIC(Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). Due to compliance with PC2004 design guide, the system is able to run in APIC mode. Enabling APIC mode will expand available IRQ resources for the system. Settings:[Enabled] and [disabled]. MPS Version Control For OS This field allows you to select which MPS(Multi-Processor Specification) version to be used for the operating system. You need to select the MPS version supported by your operating system.
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled. Video BIOS Cacheable Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
