Chapter 4: BIOS

Interrupt
This setting allows you to select the IRQ (interrupt request) for the parallel port.
The options are IRQ5 and IRQ7.
Mode
This feature allows you to specify the parallel port mode. The options are Output
only, Bi-Directional, EPP and ECP.
DMA Channel
This item allows you to specify the DMA channel for the parallel port. The
options are DMA1 and DMA3.
Floppy Disk Controller
This setting allows you to assign control of the fl oppy disk controller. The options
are Enabled (user defi ned), Disabled, and Auto (BIOS and OS controlled).
Hardware Monitoring
CPU Overheat Temperature
This option allows the user to set a CPU temperature overheat threshold that will
activate the alarm system when the CPU temperature reaches this pre-set temperature
threshold. The Default setting is 80
o
C. (See the note below.)
Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see monitor data for the following items:
CPU1 Temperature/System Temperature
Fan1 - Fan 5
If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will automatically display
the status of the fan as specifi ed.
Fan Speed Control Modes
This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the
onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When
the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice
versa. If the option is set to “4-pin”, the fan speed will be controlled by Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM). Select “Workstation” if your system is used as a Workstation.
Select “Disable” to disable the fan speed control function to allow the onboard fans
to constantly run at full speed (12V). The Options are: 1. Disable and 2. Optimized
for Workstations with 4-pin.
Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take prece-
dence over the BIOS settings. When fi rst installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the
temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent changes
to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings
override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature
threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set
in the BIOS.
