6-3 Software
Your system supports shadow RAM and Expanded Memory System
(EMS) to increase the system memory capability.
Note that If you have more than one megabyte memory, you may
enable or disable the 384K memory as shadow HAM. The 384K is
always allocated at the same address for shadow RAM, even if you
disable the shadow HAM.
Important:
You can only enter the setup menu by pressing <Esc> when the power
is just switched on. You may reset the system to enter the setup menu,
too.
Shadow RAM Enable
For efficient execution of BIOS, it is preferable to run BIOS code
through RAM rather than through the slower EPROMs. Your system
can support shadow HAM for BIOS and video.
To enable shadow HAM, follow the steps below.
• Hold down the <Esc> key to enter the setup menu as you
turn the power on.
• Select item 6 to enter NEAT Chip Setup Configuration.
•
Select item 1 to enable BIOS or video shadow RAM. (Refer
to the BIOS manual for details.)
EMS Driver Setup
The mainboard supports LIM 4.0 EMS. To set up the EMS driver, follow
the steps below.
• Hold down the <Esc> key to enter the setup program.
Choose item 6 to enter NEAT Chip Setup Configuration.
From this menu, you may enable EMS and select EMS size.
(Refer to the BIOS manual for details.)
Note:
If you only have one megabyte onboard memory, you must disable the
shadow RAM function first in order to use 384K extended memory as
expanded memory.
