Appendix BIOS Setup Installation The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables your hardware to interface with your software. The BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions. This chapter describes the various BIOS settings that can be used to configure your system.
Starting Setup The BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). When the preliminary tests are complete, the BIOS searches for an operating system on one of the system’s data storage devices (hard drive, CD-ROM, etc). If an operating system is found, the BIOS will launch that operating system and hand over control to it.
In Case of Problems If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS. The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing.
BIOS Setup - Main Screen The Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility main screen is displayed as follows: Phoenix – AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility XStandard CMOS Features XAdvanced BIOS Features XAdvanced Chipset Features XIntegrated Peripherals XPower Management Setup XPnP/PCI Configurations XPC Health Status Esc: F10: Quit Save & Exit Setup XFrequency/Voltage Control XLoad Fail-Safe Defaults XLoad Optimized Defaults XSet Supervisor Password XSet User Password XSave & Exit Setup XExit Without Saving ↑ ↓ ←
Load Fail-Safe Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the minimal/stable performance settings for your system to operate. Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal performance of system operations. While Award has designed the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs. Supervisor / User Password Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords.
Standard CMOS Features In this section, you can alter general features such as the date and time, as well as access to the IDE configuration options. Note that the options listed below are for settings that can be directly changed within the Main Setup screen. You can use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the or keys to select the value you want in each item.

HHHours (24hr. format) MMMinutes SSSeconds IDE Master / Slave Setup With this option the computer detects IDE drive types from drive C to drive F. The choices are: None / Auto / Manual Drive A / B: This option defines the floppy drive type. The choices are: None / 360K, 5.25in / 1.2M, 5.25in / 720K, 3.5in / 1.44M, 3.5in / 2.88M, 3.5in Video: This option defines the video display mode.
Advanced BIOS Features In this section, you can fine tune features that affect system speed and boot-up options.

store frequently accessed instructions and data. Memory caching is effective because most programs access the same data or instructions over and over. By keeping as much of this information as possible in SRAM, the computer avoids accessing the slower DRAM. The choices are: Enabled / Disabled Hyper-Threading Technology This option allows you to enable or disable Hyper-Threading Technology.

This is because OS/2 and Windows enter and leave protected mode via the BIOS, so Gate A20 needs to switch often from enabled to disabled and back again. Setting this feature to Fast improves memory access performance above 1MB because the chipset is much faster at switching Gate A20 than the keyboard controller. It is recommended that you set it to Fast for faster memory accesses.
APIC Mode This option allows you to enable or disable Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) Mode. APIC mode provides multi-processor interrupt management and incorporates both static and dynamic symmetric interrupt distribution across all processors. In systems with multiple I/O subsystems, each subsystem can have its own set of interrupts. Each interrupt pin is individually programmable as either edge or level triggered.
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB This BIOS feature determines how systems with more than 64MB of memory are managed. A wrong setting can cause problems like erroneous memory detection. If you are using an older version of the IBM OS/2 operating system, you should select OS/2. If you are using the IBM OS/2 Warp v3.0 or higher operating system, you should select Non-OS/2.
impending failure. If you have critical or irreplaceable data, you should enable this BIOS feature and use S.M.A.R.T.aware hardware monitoring software. Even with S.M.A.R.T. enabled, we recommend that regular backups are made. For best performance, set this option to Disabled. The choices are: Enabled / Disabled Report No FDD For WIN 95 Set this option to Yes if you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy to release IRQ6 (this is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT test and get the logo).
Advanced Chipsets Features This section describes advanced chipset features.
Active to Precharge Delay This setting is the number of clock cycles needed after a bank active command before a precharge can occur. The possible values are: 8/7/6/5 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This setting is the number of cycles from when a bank activate command is issued until a read or write command is accepted, that is, before the CAS becomes active.
Delay Prior to Thermal This BIOS feature is only valid for systems that are powered by 0.13µ Intel Pentium 4 processors with 512KB L2 cache. These processors come with a Thermal Monitor which consists of an on-die thermal sensor and a Thermal Control Circuit (TCC). When the Thermal Monitor is in automatic mode and the thermal sensor detects that the processor has reached its maximum safe operating temperature, it will activate the TCC.
boot up your computer. For example, if it takes 5 minutes to fully boot up your system, you should select 8 Minutes. You should not select a delay value that is unnecessarily long. Without the Thermal Monitor, your processor may heat up to a critical temperature (approximately 135°C), at which point the thermal sensor shuts down your processor by removing the core voltage within 0.5 seconds.
Integrated Peripherals This section describes how to fine tune onboard peripheral features.
IDE HDD Block Mode The IDE HDD Block Mode feature speeds up hard disk access by transferring data from multiple sectors at once instead of using the old single sector transfer mode. When you enable it, the BIOS will automatically detect if your hard disk supports block transfers and configure the proper block transfer settings for it. Up to 64KB of data can be transferred per interrupt with IDE HDD Block Mode enabled. If you disable IDE HDD Block Mode, only 512 bytes of data can transferred per interrupt.
Primary / Secondary Master/ Slave PIO The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.

The available modes are as follows: • ASKIR - The ASKIR setting allows infrared serial communication at a maximum baud rate of 56K baud. • HPSIR - The HPSIR setting allows infrared serial communication at a maximum baud rate of 115K baud. • FIR - The FIR (Fast IR) setting allows infrared serial communication at a maximum baud rate of 4M baud. • Normal - Sets serial port 2 to operate in normal mode. This is the default setting.
Onboard Parallel Port To use the parallel port on the system, select an address and corresponding interrupt for the parallel port. The possible values are: 378/IRQ7 / 278/IRQ5 / 3BC/IRQ7 / Disabled Parallel Port Mode This option allows the user to select the parallel port mode. This is linked to the parallel port so if you disable the parallel port, this feature will not appear or will appear greyed out. There are four options.
EPP Mode Select There are two versions of the EPP transfer protocol - EPP 1.7 and EPP 1.9. This BIOS feature allows you to select the version of EPP that the parallel port should use. Generally, EPP 1.9 is the preferred setting because it supports the newer EPP 1.9 devices and most EPP 1.7 devices; and offers advantages like support for longer cables. However, because certain EPP 1.7 devices cannot work properly with an EPP 1.

Power Management Option This function allows you to set the default parameters of power-saving modes. Set this to User Define to choose your own parameters.
Note: Green monitors detect the V/H SYNC signals to turn off their electron guns. It is important to realize that the CRT consumes the most power (several hundred watts) of any system. To really save energy, you must shut it down when not in use. Green monitors (also known as Energy Star monitors) reduce power usage by 90% without actually turing off the CRT. To make a green monitor function properly you MUST use Video Off Method = V/H Sync, because this tells the Green Monitor to shut down.
Suspend Type This option defines the system suspend type. The two suspend types are: • Power on Suspend: If this is selected, the CPU will enter into Doze mode. • Stop Grant: If this is selected, the CPU clock will enter into Sleep mode. In both of these modes, the system activities are detected by monitoring the IRQ signals or I/O.
HDD Power Down Also known as Hard Disk Timeout or IDE Standby Power Down Mode, this setting allows automatic power down of IDE drives after a specified period of inactivity 10 minutes is a suggested minimum, to avoid undue wear and tear on the drive. The choices are: Disabled / 1 minutes / 5 minutes / 10 minutes / 30 minutes / 45 minutes / 60 minutes CPU THRM-Throttling This BIOS feature determines the clock speed of the processor when it is in the Suspend To RAM (STR) power saving mode.

Power on by Ring If enabled, this option turns on the system when the modem is dialed into. The choices are: Enabled / Disabled Power on by Giga Lan If enabled, this option turns on the system by means of the on board Gigabit Lan function. The choices are: Enabled / Disabled Resume by Alarm This option allows your system to turn on at a pre-selected time. The choices are: Enabled / Disabled POWER ON Function This BIOS feature allows you to select the method to turn on your computer.
Note: Please note that only PS/2 mice support the Mouse Left or Mouse Right options. Mice using serial or USB connections do not support this power on function. The Keyboard 98 option will only work if you are using Windows 98 or better and have the appropriate keyboard. Then you can use the keyboard's wake-up or power-on button to start up the computer. Older keyboards that do not conform to the Keyboard 98 standard and therefore do not have the special wake-up button can use the Hot Key option instead.
Reload Global Timer Events These options allows you to specify the events that will activate the power management timer.
PnP/PCI Configurations This section allows configuring PnP/PCI resources.
Please note that the BIOS will automatically reset it to the default setting of Disabled after reconfiguring the new ESCD. So, there is no need for you to manually disable this feature after rebooting. The choices are: Enabled / Disabled Resources Controlled By When this option is set to AUTO, the BIOS by using ESCD, controls the IRQ and DMA assignments of all of the boot and PNP devices in the system. If you set this option to Manual, you will be able to manually assign all IRQ and DMA information.
Promise S-ATA INT Assignment: This setting defines the IRQ for the Promise S-ATA device. The possible values are: Auto / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 8 /11 / 12 /14 /15 Intel i541 INT Assignment: This setting defines the IRQ for the Intel i541 device.
PC Health Status This section monitors critical parameters of your PC and can automatically shutdown the PC if the temperature of the processor exceeds the specified threshold value. This is only available if there is a Hardware Monitor onboard. Phoenix – AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility PC Health Status CPU Warning Temperature Current CPU Temp. Current System Temp. Current Power Fan Speed Current Chassis Fan Speed Current CPU Fan Speed Vagp (V) Vcore(V) 3.
Shutdown Temperature The CPU Shutdown Temperature option allows for a user defined system shutdown temperature. If the CPU temperature exceeds the predefined shutdown threshold, the BIOS forces a system shutdown. The possible values are: 60°C, 140°F / 65°C, 149°F / 70°C, 158°F / 75°C, 167°F / Disabled Note: The onboard Winbond® 83627HF hardware monitoring ASIC automatically detects the system, motherboard and CPU temperature. It detects the CPU and chassis fan speeds in RPM.
Frequency/Voltage Control This section facilitates controlling the CPU clock and frequency ratio.
Auto Detect DIMM / PCI Clk This BIOS feature determines whether the BIOS should actively reduce EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and reduce power consumption by turning off unoccupied or inactive expansion slots. When enabled, the BIOS will monitor AGP, PCI and memory slots and turn off clock signals to all unoccupied and inactive slots. When disabled, the BIOS will not monitor AGP, PCI and memory slots. All clock signals will remain active even to unoccupied or inactive slots.
CPU Clock This setting determines the CPU clock speed. TYAN recommends that you keep this at it default value to maintain stability. The possible values are: 100MHz,133MHz or 166MHz by CPU setting. Note: The processor speed is calculated as CPU Clock Speed * CPU Clock Ratio. Memory Frequency for DDR Frequency at Next Boot This option allows you to select DRAM Speed.
Load Optimized Defaults This option loads stable optimized defaults for all BIOS options. When you press on this option, you get a confirmation dialog box with a message that reads: Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N)? N Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations. Supervisor/User Password Setting This option sets the supervisor and user password for the system.
You can set either a supervisor or a user password, or both of them. The differences are: Set Supervisor Password: You can enter and change the options in the BIOS setup menus. Set User Password: You can enter and view the options in the BIOS setup menus but cannot change them. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. ENTER PASSWORD: Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press .
Save & Exit Setup The option saves all BIOS settings to CMOS and exits BIOS setup. Pressing on this item asks for confirmation: Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
