Setting Jumpers

4. BIOS Configuration

After the hardware configuration of the motherboard is finished, and the system hardware has been assembled, the system may be powered up. At this point, CMOS setup should be run to ensure that system information is correct.

The motherboard employs the latest Award BIOS CMOS chip with support for Windows Plug and Play. This CMOS chip contains the ROM Setup instructions for configuring the motherboard’s BIOS. The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM-based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters. These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS.

Using easy-to-use pull down menus, you can configure such items as:

 Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals  Video display type and display options  Password protection fr om una ut horized use  Power management features

The settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how the computer performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the Setup’s options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use the computer. This chapter provides clear explanations for all Setup options.

BIOS Configuration

This program should be executed under the following conditions:

 When changing the system configuration

 When a configuration error is detected by the system and you

are prompted to make changes to the Setup program

 When resetting the system clock

 When setting the CPU clock speed so that it automatically

runs either fast or slow

 When redefining the communication ports to prevent any con

flicts

 When making changes to the Power Management

configuration  When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup

Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not consistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed.

4.1. Entering Setup

When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different wa ys:

1. If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a

series of beeps will be transmitted.

2. If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the

screen will display the error message.

After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

4.4. Advanced Chipset Features

Selecting “Advanced Chipset Features” on the main program screen displays this menu:

This option displays a table of items that define critical timing parameters of the motherboard. You should leave the items on this page at their default values unless you are very familiar with the technical specification of your system hardware. If you change the values incorrectly, you may introduce fatal errors or recurring instability into your system.

DRAM Timing Selectable : Enables you to set the DRAM timing manually, or automatically using SPD (Serial Presence Detect). SPD is an EEPROM chip on the memory module that stores information about the memory chips it contains, including size, speed, voltage, row and column addresses, and manufacturer. We recommend setting this field to By SPD.

CAS Latency Time : This item enables you to optimize the speed at which data is accessed in a column by defining CAS latency time. The CAS latency defines the time delay (in CLKs) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Because reading data in a row is twice as fast, reducing this number can increase performance at the expense of stability. We recommend that you leave this item at the default value. The default setting is “1.5”.

Advanced Chipset Features

For example, if you have a processor that is rated to run at 450 MHz and the system in running a front side bus frequency of 100 M Hz, you should select a multiplier of 4.5 so that:

4.5 (Multiplier) x 100 MHz (front side bus) = 450 MHz (CPU clock)

Auto Detect PCI Clk : When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free DIMM and PCI slots.

Spread Spectrum : If you enable spread spectrum, it can significantly reduce the EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) generated by the system.
