CHAPTER 2 BIOS SETUP The primary function of the BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) is to identify and initiate component hardware. The BIOS parameters are stored in non-volatile BIOS memory (CMOS). CMOS contents don’t get erased when the computer is turned off. The following topics are described in this chapter.
Entering the Setup Utility When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS.
Using BIOS When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu appears. The main menu of the Setup Utility displays a list of the options that are available. A highlight indicates which option is currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, execute the option by pressing . Some options lead to pop-up dialog boxes that prompt you to verify that you wish to execute that option.
Standard CMOS features Selecting Standard CMOS Features on the main menu displays the following menu: Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Standard CMOS Features Date (mm:dd:yy) Time (hh:mm:ss) ►►IDE ►►IDE ►►IDE ►►IDE ►►IDE ►►IDE Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel 0 0 2 2 3 3 Master Slave Master Slave Master Slave Video Halt On Base Memory Extended Memory Total Memory ↑↓→←:Move Enter:Select F5:Previous Values Mon, Jul 6 2009 8 : 33 : 14 Item Help [ None] [ None] [ST380815AS] [ None] [

APIC Mode This item is used to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) Mode. ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn its peripherals on and off for improved power management. It also allows the PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so that IMPORTANT mouse or keyboard activity wakes up the machine.

Use the PageUp and PageDown to change the order.
Advanced Chipset Features This option displays critical timing parameters of the mainboard. Leave the items on this menu at their default settings unless you are very familiar with the technical specifications of the system hardware. If you change the values incorrectly, you may introduce fatal errors or recurring instability into the system.
System/Video BIOS Cacheable These items allow the video and/or system to be cached in memory for faster execution. We recommend that you leave these items at the default value. ** VGA Setting ** The following items allow you to configure the settings about On-Chip VGA. On-Chip Frame Buffer Size This item is used to select the video frame buffer size. Boot Display If you connect an external display to this machine, you can use this setting to turn off the LCD and only use the external display.
Integrated Peripherals This option defines the operation of peripheral components on the system’s input/output ports.
► OnChip IDE Device Use this item to enable or disable the PCI IDE channels that are integrated on the mainboard.
*** On-Chip Serial ATA Setting *** The following items allow you to configure the settings about On-Chip Serial ATA. SATA Mode This feature allows users to select SATA mode. On-Chip Serial ATA This feature allows users to select the SATA function modes. Setting at Disabled will disable SATA controller. Set at Auto will allow the BIOS to arrange it. Setting Combined Mode will make PATA and SATA combined. Max. of 2 IDE drives in each channel (primary master/slave; secondary master/slave).
► Onboard Device Use this item to enable or disable the PCI devices that are integrated on the mainboard. Select the item and press to open the following menu: Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Onboard Device USB Controller USB 2.0 Controller USB Keyboard Support Azalia/AC97 Audio Select Onboard Lan Boot ROM [Enabled] [Enabled] [Enabled] [AC97 Audio only] [Disabled] Item Help Figure 2.

Power Management Setup Use these items to control system power management. Modern operating systems take care of much of the power management. This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
Power On by Ring Use this item to enable modem activity to wakeup the system from a power saving mode. Resume by Alarm When set to Enabled, the following two fields become available and you can set the date (day of the month), hour, minute and second to turn on your system. When set to 0 (zero) for the day of the month, the alarm will power on your system every day at the specified time.
PnP/PCI Configurations This option configures how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in the system. Both the ISA and PCI buses on the mainboard use system IRQs (Interrupt ReQuests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI Configurations menu; otherwise, the mainboard will not work properly.
► IRQ Resources This menu can only be accessed when the Resources Controlled by menu is set to Manual. In the IRQ Resources sub-menu, if you change any of the IRQ assignations to Legacy ISA, then that Interrupt Request Line is reserved for a legacy ISA expansion card. Press to close the IRQ Resources sub-menu.
PC Health Status On mainboards that support hardware monitoring, this item lets you monitor the parameters for critical voltages, and critical temperatures. Several fields are for information only and are not configurable. Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility PC Health Status CPU Warning Temperature Current System Temp.
