INSTALLATIONS Watchdog Timer Configuration The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signal s 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 sorts 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 Awar d BIOS that comes with the board. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows: BIOS Introduction .........................................................................26 BIOS Setup....................................................................................26 Standard CMOS Setup ..................................................................28 Advanced BIOS Features .................................
BIOS SETUP BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel 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 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 To set the date, highlight the “Date” field and use the PageUp/ PageDown or +/- keys to set the current time. 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 Channel Master/Slave The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four IDE hard disks or other IDE devices.
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 e rror 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 Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Advanced BIOS Features CPU Feature Hard Disk Boot Priority Virus Warning CPU L1 and L2 Cache CPU L3 Cache Quick Power On Self Test First Boot Device Second Boot Device Third Boot Device Boot Other Device Swap Floppy Drive Boot Up Floppy Seek Boot Up NumLock Status Gate A20 Option Typematic Rate Setting Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) Typematic Delay (Msec) Security Option APIC Mode MPS Version Control for OS OS Select For DRAM>64MB Report
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 firs t for an operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-Floppy, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, 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 Advanced Chipset Features This Setup menu controls the configuration of the chipset.
BIOS SETUP DRAM RAS# Precharge This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate its charge before the SDRAM refreshes. The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is 4. Precharge Delay (tRAS) The default setting for the Precharge Delay is 12. System Memory Frequency The default setting is 533MHz. SLP_S4# Assertion Width The default setting is 1 to 2 Sec.
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 On-Chip Serial ATA Setting The fields under the SATA setting includes SATA Mode (IDE), On -Chip Serial ATA (Auto), PATA IDE Mode (Secondary) and SATA Port (PO, P2 is Primary). USB Controller The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Enabled. USB 2.0 Controller 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.
BIOS SETUP Onboard Serial Port These fields allow you to select the onboard serial ports and their addresses. The default values for these ports are: Serial Port 1 3F8/IRQ4 Serial Port 2 2F8/IRQ3 UART Mode Select This field determines the UART 2 mode in your computer. The default value is Normal. Other options include IrDA and ASKIR. PWRON After PWR-Fail This field sets the system power status whether on or off when power returns to the system from a power failure situation.

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 BIOS to control the video display. Blank Screen Writes blanks to the video buffer. Video Off In Suspend When enabled, the video is off in suspend mode. Suspend Type The default setting for the Suspend Type field is Stop Grant. Modem Use IRQ This field sets the IRQ used by the Modem.
BIOS SETUP Reload Global Timer Events The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events that can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
BIOS SETUP PNP/PCI Configurations This option configures the PCI bus system. All PCI bus systems o n 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 Shutdown Temperature CPU Warning Temperature Current System Temp Current CPU TEMP FAN2 Speed FAN1 Speed Disabled Disabled 45°C/113°F 45°C/113°F 5400 RPM 5400 RPM Vcore(V) 1.02 V +12 V 1.32 V VTT 1.8V -5V -5.02 +5V 5.25 V -12V 3.3V -11.89 3.37V VBAT (V) 3.21 V 5VSB(V) 5.

Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Frequency/Voltage Control CPU Clock Ratio 14x Auto Detect PCI Clk Disabled Spread Spectrum Modulated Disabled ITEM HELP Menu Level > CPU Clock Ratio This field’s default setting is 14x. Auto Detect PCI Clk This field enables or disables the auto detection of the PCI clock. Spread Spectrum Modulated This field sets the value of the spread spectrum.
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 Password These two options set the system password.
