BIOS SETUP BIOS Setup This chapter describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the board. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows: BIOS Introduction ........................................................................ 22 BIOS Setup ................................................................................... 22 Standard CMOS Setup ................................................................. 24 Advanced BIOS Features .................................
BIOS SETUP BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS SETUP Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Standard CMOS Features Advanced BIOS Features Advanced Chipset Features Integrated Peripherals Power Management Setup PnP/PCI Configurations PC Health Status Frequency/Voltage Control Load Fail-Safe Defaults Load Optimized Defaults Set Supervisor Password Set User Password Save & Exit Setup Exit Without Saving ESC : Quit F10 : Save & Exit Setup Ç È Æ Å : Select Item Time, Date, Hard Disk Type… The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays
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 motherboard 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 Serial ATA connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four Serial ATA hard disks .
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 Boot Other Device These fields allow the system to search for an OS from other devices other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device. Boot Up NumLock Status This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system. Gate A20 Option This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB.
BIOS SETUP OS Select for DRAM > 64MB This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2. 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 Disabled.
BIOS SETUP Advanced Chipset Features This Setup menu controls the configuration of the chipset.
BIOS SETUP Precharge delay (tRAS) The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is Auto. System Memory Frequency This field sets the frequency of the DRAM memory installed. The default setting is Auto. The other settings are DDR667 and DDR800. System BIOS Cacheable The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
BIOS SETUP Integrated Peripherals This section sets configurations for your hard disk and other integrated peripherals. The first screen shows three main items for user to select. Once an item selected, a submenu appears. Details follow.
BIOS SETUP IDE HDD Block Mode This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive. IDE DMA Transfer Access This field, by default, is enabled OnChip Secondary PCI IDE This field, by default, is enabled IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster.
BIOS SETUP KB Power ON Password This field allows users to set the password when keyboard power on is the mode of the Power ON function. Hot Key Power ON This field sets certain keys, also known as hot keys, on the keyboard that can be used as a ‘switch’ to power on the system. Onboard Serial Port These fields allow you to select the onboard serial and parallel ports and their addresses.

BIOS SETUP Video Off In Suspend When enabled, the video is off in suspend mode. Suspend Type The default setting for the Suspend Type field is Stop Grant. Modem Use IRQ This field sets the IRQ used by the Modem. By default, the setting is 3. Suspend Mode When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off.
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.

Spread Spectrum This field sets the value of the spread spectrum. The default setting is Disabled. This field is for CE testing use only.
BIOS SETUP Load Fail-Safe Defaults This option allows you to load the troubleshooting default values permanently stored in the BIOS ROM. These default settings are non-optimal and disable all high-performance features. Load Optimized Defaults This option allows you to load the default values to your system configuration. These default settings are optimal and enable all high performance features. Set Supervisor/User Password These two options set the system password.

APPENDIX Appendix A. I/O Port Address Map Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port addresses that 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.
