Safety Precaution - Static Electricity Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage. 1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on. 2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.

4 CHAPTER 2 Award BIOS Setup
PAGE 48
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup 4.1 Introduction Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup information when the power is turned off. 4.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically backed up to Flash ROM.
PAGE 49
Figure 4.1: Award BIOS Setup initial screen 4.3 Standard CMOS Setup Choose the "Standard CMOS Features" option from the "Initial Setup Screen" menu, and the screen below will be displayed. This menu allows users to configure system components such as date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive, display, and memory. Figure 4.
PAGE 50
4.4 Advanced BIOS Features The "Advanced BIOS Features" screen appears when choosing the "Advanced BIOS Features" item from the "Initial Setup Screen" menu. It allows the user to configure the ARK-3389 according to his particular requirements. Below are some major items that are provided in the Advanced BIOS Features screen. A quick booting function is provided for your convenience. Simply enable the Quick Booting item to save yourself valuable time Figure 4.3: Advanced BIOS features screen 4.4.
PAGE 51
4.4.4 Quick Power On Self Test This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted as soon as the computer is turned on. When enabled, the BIOS shortens or skips some of the items during the test. When disabled, the computer conducts normal POST procedures. 4.4.5 First/Second/Third/ Boot Other Device The BIOS tries to load the OS with the devices in the sequence selected. Choices are: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM, LAN, Disabled. 4.4.

4.4.12 Typematic Delay (msec) Typematic delay is the time interval between the appearance of two consecutive characters, when holding down a key. The input values for this category are: 250, 500, 750, 1000 (msec). 4.4.13 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.
PAGE 53
4.4.18 Small Logo (EPA) Show The EPA logo appears at the right side of the monitor screen when the system is boot up. The default setting is Enabled. 4.5 Advanced Chipset Features The "Advanced Chipset Features" screen appears when choosing the "Advanced Chipset Features" item from the "Initial Setup Screen" menu. It allows the user to configure the system chipset according to his particular requirements. Below are some major items that are provided in the Advanced Chipset Features screen. Figure 4.
PAGE 54
4.5.3 Active to Precharge Delay The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is 7. 4.5.4 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the delay improves the performance of the SDRAM. 4.5.5 DRAM RAS# Precharge This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate its charge before the SDRAM refreshes.
PAGE 55
4.5.10 Memory Hole At 15M-16M In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16 MB. The choices are Enabled and Disabled. 4.5.11 Delayed Transaction The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1. 4.5.
PAGE 56
4.5.18 Panel Number These fields allow you to select the LCD Panel type.

The first screen shows three main items for user to select. Once an item selected, a submenu appears. Details follow. Figure 4.
PAGE 57
4.6.2 IDE Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode, IDE Primary (Secondary) Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto) Each channel (Primary and Secondary) has both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible. Because each IDE device may have a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these to be independent. The default setting "Auto" will allow auto-detection to ensure optimal performance. 4.6.3 On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE If you enable IDE HDD Block Mode, the enhanced IDE driver will be enabled.
PAGE 58
4.6.10 Onboard FDC Controller When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the onboard floppy disk drive connector instead of a separate controller card. If you want to use a different controller card to connect the floppy disk drives, set this field to Disabled. 4.6.11 Onboard Serial Port For settings reference the Appendix for the serial resource allocation, and Disabled for the on-board serial connector. 4.6.12 UART Mode Select This item allows you to select UART mode.
PAGE 59
4.6.17 Parallel Port Mode This field allows you to set the operation mode of the parallel port. The setting "Normal" allows normal speed operation, but in one direction only. "EPP" allows bi-directional parallel port operation at maximum speed. "ECP" allows the parallel port to operate in bi-directional mode and at a speed faster than the maximum data transfer rate. "ECP + EPP" allows normal speed operation in a two-way mode. 4.6.18 EPP Mode Select This field allows you to select EPP port type 1.7 or 1.9.

PAGE 61
4.7.6 HDD Power Down You can choose to turn the HDD off after one of the time intervals listed, or when the system is in "suspend" mode. If the HDD is in a power saving mode, any access to it will wake it up. 4.7.7 Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN If you choose "Instant-Off", then pushing the ATX soft power switch button once will switch the system to "system off" power mode. You can choose "Delay 4 sec.
PAGE 62
4.7.13 FDD, COM, LPT PORT When Enabled, the system will resume from suspend mode if FDD, COM port, or LPT port is active. The choice: Enabled, Disabled. 4.7.14 PCI PIRQ [A-D]# When Enabled, the system will resume from suspend mode if interrupt occurs. The choice: Enabled, Disabled. 4.8 PnP/PCI Configurations 4.8.1 PnP OS Installed Select "Yes" if you are using a plug and play capable operating system. Select No if you need the BIOS to configure non-boot device Figure 4.
