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 board 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 connector provides Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to two IDE hard disks or other IDE devices. Press to configure the hard disk.
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 error 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 This section allows you to configure and improve your system and allows you to set up some system features according to your preference.
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.

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. The default setting is Yes. Suspend Type The default setting for the Suspend Type field is Stop Grant.
BIOS SETUP Resume by Alarm This field enables or disables the resumption of the system operation. When enabled, the user is allowed to set the Date and Time. 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.
BIOS SETUP PNP/PCI Configurations This option configures the PCI bus system. All PCI bus systems on 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.

APPENDIX Appendix A. I/O Port Address Map Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. The following table lists the I/O port addresses used.
APPENDIX B. Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ) Peripheral devices use interrupt request lines to notify CPU for the service required. The following table shows the IRQ used by the devices on board.
APPENDIX C. Watchdog Timer Configuration The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals 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.
