Chapter 3 BIOS Setup This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup program and allows you to configure the system for optimum use. You may need to run the Setup program when: ■ An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and requests you to run SETUP. ■ You want to change the default settings for customized features.
▍ BIOS Setup Entering Setup Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process. When the message below appears on the screen, press or key to enter Setup. Press or to enter SETUP If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing , , and keys.
MS-96D9 Control Keys ←→ ↑↓ Enter +- Select Screen Select Item Select Change Option F1 General Help F2 Previous Values F3 Optimized Defaults F4 Save Esc Exit Getting Help After entering the Setup menu, the first menu you will see is the Main Menu. Main Menu The main menu lists the setup functions you can make changes to. You can use the arrow keys ( ↑↓ ) to select the item. The on-line description of the highlighted setup function is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
▍ BIOS Setup The Menu Bar ▶ Main Use this menu for basic system configurations, such as time, date, etc. ▶ Advanced Use this menu to set up the items of special enhanced features. ▶ Chipset This menu controls the advanced features of the onboard Host Bridge and South Bridge. ▶ Boot Use this menu to specify the priority of boot devices. ▶ Security Use this menu to set supervisor and user passwords.
MS-96D9 Main ▶ BIOS Information, Access Level These items show the firmware and hardware specifications of your system. Read only. ▶ System Date This setting allows you to set the system date. The date format is , . ▶ System Time This setting allows you to set the system time. The time format is .
▍ BIOS Setup Advanced ▶ Launch PXE OpROM Use this setting to launch the PXE option ROM. ▶ ACPI Settings ▶ Resume On RTC Alarm When [Enabled], your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real-time clock) alarm awakens the system from suspend mode.
MS-96D9 ▶ Trusted Computing ▶ TPM Support This setting controls the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) designed by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). TPMs are special-purpose integrated circuits (ICs) built into a variety of platforms to enable strong user authentication and machine attestation -- essential to prevent inappropriate access to confidential and sensitive information and to protect against compromised networks.
▍ BIOS Setup ▶ Execute Disable Bit Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
MS-96D9 ▶ Legacy USB Support Set to [Enabled] if you need to use any USB 1.1/2.0 device in the operating system that does not support or have any USB 1.1/2.0 driver installed, such as DOS and SCO Unix. Set to [Disabled] only if you want to use any USB device other than the USB mouse. ▶ Port 60/64 Emulation This field allows you to enable/disable the USB Port 64/60 Emulation function. When the function is enabled, the USB keyboard is allowed to type some special combination keys.
▍ BIOS Setup ▶ W83202G Super IO Configuration ▶ W83202G Floppy Disk Controller Configuration ▶ Floppy Disk Controller This setting enables/disables the floppy disk controller. ▶ Change Settings This setting is used to change the settings of the floppy disk controller. ▶ Device Mode This setting is used to change the device mode of the floppy disk drive.
MS-96D9 ▶ W83202G Serial Port 1/2 Configuration ▶ Serial Port This setting enables/disables the specified serial port. ▶ Change Settings This setting is used to change the address & IRQ settings of the specified serial port. ▶ Device Mode This setting is used to change the device mode of the specified serial port. ▶ H/W Monitor ▶ CPU_F1 SMART FAN, SYSFAN1 SMART FAN This setting enables/disables the Smart Fan feature.
▍ BIOS Setup ▶ Serial Port Console Redirection ▶ Console Redirection Console Redirection operates in host systems that do not have a monitor and keyboard attached. This setting enables/disables the operation of console redirection. When set to [Enabled], BIOS redirects and sends all contents that should be displayed on the screen to the serial COM port for display on the terminal screen. Besides, all data received from the serial port is interpreted as keystrokes from a local keyboard.
MS-96D9 ▶ Bits per second, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits This setting specifies the transfer rate (bits per second, data bits, parity, stop bits) of Console Redirection. ▶ Flow Control Flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes. It’s the process of adjusting the flow of data from one device to another to ensure that the receiving device can handle all of the incoming data.
▍ BIOS Setup Chipset ▶ Host Bridge 3-14
MS-96D9 ▶ OnChip VGA Configuration ▶ Share Memory Size This setting specifies the size of system memory allocated for video memory. ▶ South Bridge ▶ USB Function This setting specifies the USB controller function. ▶ Restore AC Power Loss This setting specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt occurs. Available settings are: [Power Off] Leaves the computer in the power off state. [Power On] Leaves the computer in the power on state.
▍ BIOS Setup ▶ Chassis Intrusion The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. To clear the warning message, set the field to [Reset]. The setting of the field will automatically return to [Enable] later.
MS-96D9 Boot ▶ Quiet Boot This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo. When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages. When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo. Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence.
▍ BIOS Setup ▶ Boot Option Priorities The items allow you to set the sequence of boot devices where BIOS attempts to load the disk operating system. First press to enter the sub-menu. Then you may use the arrow keys ( ↑↓ ) to select the desired device, then press <+>, <-> or , key to move it up/down in the priority list.
MS-96D9 Security ▶ Administrator Password Administrator Password controls access to the BIOS Setup utility. Users will be prompted for Administrator password only when they enter BIOS Setup. ▶ User Password User Password controls access to the system at boot and access to the BIOS Setup utility. Users will be prompted for User password when they power on the system or enter BIOS Setup. In BIOS Setup, users will have Administrator rights.
