Hardware Configuration active value for user-changeable parameters depends on jumper pins being closed (electrically connected by a cap) or open (not electrically connected). For parameters having more than two values, groups of jumpers (or jumper blocks) are used to determine the active value. For example, if a jumper has three pins labeled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3, you can use a jumper cap to connect PIN1 & PIN2 to activate one value for the parameter. Connecting PIN2 and PIN3 would activate another value.

Award BIOS Setup Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup 5.1 Introduction This chapter describes the function of the BIOS in managing the features of your system and how to configure the BIOS in its Setup Menu. The IPC-551 single-board computer is equipped with a system BIOS chipset from Award Software Inc. Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.
Award BIOS Setup The Setup program built into the Award BIOS lets users modify the basic system configuration. This special configuration information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that the PC retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. The Award BIOS is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. It supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible input/output system.

Award BIOS Setup 5-4 BIOS Features Setup Menu The BIOS FEATURES SETUP menu presents configuration options for the support chipset and the shadowing of RAM. When you select BIOS FEATURES SETUP in the CMOS Setup Utility menu, this screen appears: ROM / PCI / ISA BIOS (2A59FP6C) BIOS FEATURES SETUP AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.
Award BIOS Setup modification. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and the following error message will appear. ! WARNING ! Disk boot sector is to be modified Type Y to accept write or N to abort write Award Software, Inc. Afterwards, if necessary, you will be able to run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any damage is done. Enabled Activates automatically when the system boots up.
Award BIOS Setup Boot Sequence This setting determines which drive to search first for booting files at startup. The default value is C, A. C, A System will first search for hard disk drive then floppy disk drive. A, C System will first search for floppy disk drive then hard disk drive. Boot Up Floppy Seek During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed has 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type has 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80 tracks.
Award BIOS Setup Regardless of which setting is chosen, the operator can still use the turbo switch to toggle between High and Low modes during operation. Gate A20 Option This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbyte. Initially, Gate A20 was handled by a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20.
Award BIOS Setup Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) When the typematic rate is enabled, the typematic rate selection allows you select the rate at which a held-down key will produce acceleration. Acceleration refers to multiple instances of a character (letter, number, or symbol) or other multiple keyboard effects (like cursor movement with arrow keys and character removal with the Delete keys).
Award BIOS Setup System security boot & BIOS access require password Setup security BIOS access requires password (default) Note: To disable security, select PASSWORD SETTING at the CMOS Setup Utility menu. You will be asked to enter a password. Do not type anything; just press Enter, and security will be disabled. Once its disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely. Video BIOS Shadow Determines whether the video BIOS will be copied to RAM.
Award BIOS Setup 5-5 Chipset Features Setup This menu lets you configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. However, these parameters should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.
Award BIOS Setup Auto Configuration Function: When this option is Enabled, the BIOS automatically configures cache and clock settings based on detection of the CPU clock speed. The user cannot change the other parameters. Set this option to Disabled to do manual setting of DRAM , cache, and I/O bus clock operating parameters. Enabled is default. DRAM Settings The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
Award BIOS Setup Video BIOS Cacheable As with caching the System BIOS above, enabling the Video BIOS cache will cause access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H to C7FFFH to be cached. Enabled Video BIOS access cached Disabled Video BIOS access not cached Disabled is the default. PCI and IDE Configuration 8 Bit I/O Recovery Time The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clock periods, that the system will delay after completing an input/output request.
Award BIOS Setup 5-6 Power Management Setup The Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to save energy most effectively while still meeting your computing needs. When you specify Max Saving, all power-saving timeouts are set to their minimum value and power saving is implemented at the lowest possible threshold. ROM / PCI / ISA BIOS (2A59FP6C) POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.
Award BIOS Setup Min. Power Saving Minimum power management. Doze Mode = 1hr., Standby Mode = 1 hr., Suspend Mode = 1hr., and HDD Power Down = 15 min. Max. Power Saving Maximum power management ONLY AVAILABLE FOR SL CPUs. Doze Mode = 1 min., Standby Mode = 1 min., Suspend Mode = 1 min., and HDD Power Down = 1 min. User Defined. Allows you to set each mode individually. When not disabled, each of the ranges are from 1 min. to 1 hr. except for HDD Power Down which ranges from 1 min. to 15 min.
Award BIOS Setup Doze Mode This timeout setting determines how long the PC must be idle before entering Doze mode. Values range from 10 seconds to 2 hours. Doze mode can also be disabled. In Doze mode, the CPU clock runs at a slower speed while all other devices continue operating at full speed. Standby Mode This timeout setting determines how long the PC must be idle before entering Standby mode. Values range from 30 seconds to 2 hours. Standby can also be disabled.
