BIOS SETUP 16 CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP 3.1 BIOS Setup Award BIOS has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configu- ration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM. So it can retain the Setup information when the power is turned off.
17 BIOS SETUP F 1 General help, only for Status Page Setup Menu and Option Page Setup Menu F 2 Change color from total 16 colors F 2 to select color forward Shift + F2 to select color backward F 3 Cal.
BIOS SETUP 18 3.3 Standard CMOS Setup • SUPERVISOR / USER P ASSWORD Change, set, or disable a password. In some BIOS versions that allow separate user and supervisor passwords, only the supervisor password permits access to Setup. The user pass- word generally allows only power-on access.
19 BIOS SETUP 1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammed values for drive type 1 through 45. 2. Select “ USER ” and enter values into each drive parameter field. 3. Use the “ IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION ” function in Main Menu.
BIOS SETUP 20 • Drive A / Drive B Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in the computer . - None : No diskette drive installed - 360K, 5.25 in : 5-1/4 inch PC-type standard drive; 360 kilobyte capacity - 1.2M, 5.25 in : 5-1/4 inch A T-type high-density drive; 1.
21 BIOS SETUP 3.4 BIOS Features Setup This “ BIOS FEA TURES SETUP ” option allows you to improve your system performance and set up system features according to your preference.
BIOS SETUP 22 • CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking Select “ Enabled ” to make sure the data accuracy . • Quick Power On Self T est Select “ Enabled ” to reduce the amount of time required to run the Power-On Self-T est (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps.
23 BIOS SETUP • T ypematic Rate (Chars / Sec) When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at which character repeats) when you hold down a key of 6, 8, 10,12, 15, 20, 24 or 30 characters per second.
BIOS SETUP 24 each section of memory separately . Many system designers hardwire shadowing of the sys- tem BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option. Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF . The remaining areas shown on the “ BIOS Features Setup ” screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware.
25 BIOS SETUP • SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay This controls the latency between SDRAM active command and the read/write command. Leave on default setting. • SDRAM RAS Precharge Time This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to SDRAM.
BIOS SETUP 26 • Memory Hold At 15M-16M Enabling this feature reserves memory address space from 15MB to 16MB to ISA expan- sion cards that specifically require this setting. This makes the memory from 15MB and up unavailable to the system. Expansion cards can only access memory up to 16MB.
27 BIOS SETUP 3.6 Power Management Setup The Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to save energy most effec- tively while operating in a manner consistent with your own style of computer use. • ACPI function This item allows you to enable/disable the Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI).
BIOS SETUP 28 3. Max. Power Saving : Maximum power management mode. Inactivity period is defined as below . Doze Mode = 1 min. Standby Mode = 1 min. Suspend Mode = 1 min. HDD Power Down = 1 min. 4. User Defined : Allow you to set each mode individually .
29 BIOS SETUP • Standby Mode After the selected period of system inactivity (1 minute to 1 hour), the fixed disk drive and the video shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed. • Suspend Mode After the selected period of system inactivity (1 minute to 1 hour), all devices except the CPU shut off.
BIOS SETUP 30 Primary IDE 0 Primary IDE 1 Secondary IDE0 Secondary IDE1 Floppy Disk Serial Port Parallel port IRQ[3-7, 9-15], NMI T o enable or disable the detection of IRQ 3-7, IRQ 9-15 or NMI inter- rupt events for powering down state transition.
31 BIOS SETUP • Resource Controlled by The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and Plug and Play(PnP) compatible devices. If you select “ Auto ” , all the interrupt request (IRQ) and DMA assignment fields disappear , as the BIOS automatically assigns them.
BIOS SETUP 32 3.8 Integrated Peripherals This option will load the default BIOS values. Choose the option and the following message appears. • • • • • IDE HDD Block Mode The item means HDD access uses over one cycle method for improving HDD performance.
33 BIOS SETUP • • • • • On Chip IDE Primary / Secondary PCI IDE The chipset contains a PCI IDE interface which supports two IDE channels. Select “ Enabled ” to activate the first and/or second IDE interface. Select “ Disabled ” to deactivate an interface, if you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface.
BIOS SETUP 34 • • • • • Onboard Serial Port 1 Select an address and the corresponding interrupt for each of the first and second serial ports. The Choice: 3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, Disabled, Auto. • • • • • Onboard Serial Port 2 The second serial port shares resources (address and IRQ) with IrDA.
35 BIOS SETUP 3.9 Supervisor Password This option will set the password to prevent others from making changes to your system. Password prevents unauthorized use of your computer . If you set a password, the system prompts for the correct password before you boot or access to “ Setup ” T o set a password: 1.
BIOS SETUP 36 3.10 User Password This option will set the password to prevent others from making changes to your system when accessed by POWER ON. This operation is same as SUPERVISOR P ASSWORD. 3.1 1 IDE HDD Auto Detection Use the BIOS utility to detect the HDD type automatically .
37 BIOS SETUP 3.13 Exit Without Saving Abort the current change and exit the BIOS utility . 3.12 Save & Exit Setup Save the setting and exit the BIOS utility .
BIOS SETUP 38 3.14 Load BIOS Defaults NOTE: 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. 3.15 Load Setup Defaults This option allows you to load the default values to the system configuration fields.
