CPU card and Intel PentiumII CPU or above. The default clock rate setting for
KP6 CPU card is 150MHz and PentiumII CPU is 233MHz depend on
autodetect from BIOS. But there is an advantage way for setup menu. The
details please refer the chapter 3 “Award BIOS Setup”.
Hardware Setup 2-9
Installation of Memory
The mainboard provides four 72-pin SIMM and two 168-pin DIMM sites for
memory expansion. The SIMM socket supports 1Mx32(4MB), 2Mx32(8MB),
4Mx32(16MB), 8Mx32(32MB), 16Mx32(64MB), and 32Mx32(128MB) single
side or double side SIMM modules. The DIMM socket supports 1Mx64(8MB),
2Mx64(16MB), 4Mx64(32MB), 8Mx64(64MB), 16Mx64(128MB), and
32Mx64(256MB) or double side DIMM modules. Minimum memory size is
8MB and Maximum memory size will be 1GB.
There are four banks of Memory on the system board.
In order to create a memory array certain rules must be followed. The following
set of rules allows for optimum configurations.
l SIMM modules must be populated in pairs; the memory array is 64 or 72
bits wide. (Without parity or with parity)
l Those modules can populated in any order.
l SIMM modules pairs need to populated with the same densities, single or
double. For example, Bank0 must populated with identical densities.
However Bank1 can be populated with different densities than Bank0.
l The asymmetrical DRAM modules should be the same type in the same
bank.
l The EDO DRAM modules can mixed with standard page mode DRAM
module, but must not be in the same bank. For example, Bank0 can be
populated with EDO DRAM module. Each bank will be optimized for that
type of memory according to the BIOS setup.
The following is the valid memory configuration:
Bank Memory Module Total Memory

Chapter 3 Award BIOS
Setup
All personal computer use a BIOS, or Basic Input / Output system, to provide
control for the hardware functions. When system is powered on or reset, the
CPU is reset and BIOS will do the following:
l Self-test on CPU.
l Verify ROM BIOS checksum.
l Verify CMOS configuration chip.
l Initialize timer.
l Initialize DMA controller.
l Verify system memory and cache memory.
l Install all BIOS function call utilities.
l Verify/initialize all system configurations, like keyboard, floppy drive, hard
disk, initialize EGA or VGA if there is any.
l Hook to the add-in BIOS (include NCR PCI SCSI BIOS) or expansion
BIOS to perform initialization and driver link to the system.
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in batterybacked RAM so that the setup information is retained when the power is turned
off. When the system is powered on or reset, the Award BIOS will display a
copyright message on the screen, then the BIOS will perform the system
diagnostics test and initialization. When all of the above tests have been passed,
the message:
“TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC
OR DEL KEY”
3-2 Chapter 3
is display. If the [Del] key or Ctrl-Alt-Esc is pressed, the screen will be cleared
and then the following message will be shown:

Hard Disk size selection
The Award BIOS supports three HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.
NORMAL mode: The maximum HDD size supported by the NORMAL
mode is 528 Megabytes.
Award BIOS Setup 3-5
LBA mode: Logical Block Addressing mode is a new HDD accessing method
designed to overcome the 528Megabytes limitation. The number
of cylinders, heads, and sectors shown in setup may not be the
number physically contained in the HDD. During HDD
accessing the IDE controller will transform the logical address
described by cylinder, head, and sector number into its own
physical address inside the HDD. The maximum HDD size
supported by the LBA mode is 8.4Gigabytes.
LARGE mode: Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinders without
LBA supports. This access mode tricks DOS (or other OS)
that the number of cylinders is less than 1024 by dividing it
by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is Multiplied by
2. The maximum HDD size supported by LARGE mode is 1
Gigabytes.
Floppy 3 mode support
This is the Japanese standard floppy drive. The standard stores 1.2MB in a 3.5”
diskette.

Data and ask the BIOS to reset the settings for the Plug &
Play ISA Card and PCI Card, select “Enabled”. But the
next time you boot up, this option will automatically be
set as “Disabled”.
PCI PnP BIOS Choose Enabled (Default) or Disabled. If Enabled the
Auto-Config BIOS will automatically assigns IRQ to the PCI INT#. If
Disabled the PCI INT# will be assigned by the next
setup item - “Xth Available IRQ”.
Xth Available IRQ These categories select a IRQ for INT#. There are ten
IRQs options (3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15) for
available IRQs.
1st Available IRQ means BIOS will assign this IRQ to
first INT found on the PCI slots (the assignment
sequence is slot1, 2, 3).
Award BIOS Setup 3-13
PCI IDE Card 2nd Choose Disable or Enable (Default). If the 2nd channel
Channel is not used on the PCI IDE card, switch the option to
“Disable”. Or IRQ15 can not work on the ISA slots.
PCI IDE Card PCI-Auto:
IRQ Map to If the BIOS can detect PCI IDE on one of the PCI slots,
then the appropriate INT# will be auto-assigned to
IRQ14.
PCI-slotX:
If the BIOS can not detect a PCI IDE card, (because the
PCI IDE card does not support this function) the user
needs to manually select the PCI-slot occupied by the
PCI IDE card.
Primary IDE INT#, Secondary IDE INT#:
If the IDE card supports 2 IDE channels, the BIOS needs
to assign 2 INT channels for the IDE card. (Don’t select
same INT#)
ISA:
This setting assigns no IRQs to the PCI slots. Use this
setting with PCI IDE cards that connect IRQ14 and
IRQ15 directly from an ISA slot using a cable from a
legacy paddle board.
Note: M/B PCI Slot INT# hardware is designed as below:
“Slot1-INT#A”, “Slot2-INT#B”, and “Slot3-INT#C” are assigned to the
same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)
“Slot1-INT#B”, “Slot2-INT#C”, and “Slot3-INT#D” are assigned to the
same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)
“Slot1-INT#C”, “Slot2-INT#D”, and “Slot3-INT#A” are assigned to the
same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)
“Slot1-INT#D”, “Slot2-INT#A”, and “Slot3-INT#B” are assigned to the
same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)
Onboard FDD This option enables or disables the on-board floppy disk
Controller controller.
Onboard Serial Choose Disable, 3F8h/IRQ4, 2F8h/IRQ3, 3E8h/IRQ4,
Port X 2E8h/IRQ3 to set the on-board serial ports. But don’t
choose duplicate I/O port and IRQ.
Serial Port 2 Use This option enables/disables the IR function in on-board
IR serial port 2 and selects IR mode HPSIR(IrDA) or
ASKIR(Amplitude Shift Keyed IR).
3-14 Chapter 3
IR Duplex Mode IR duplex mode Half(Default) or Full selection.
Onboard Parallel Choose Disable, 3BCh/IRQ7, 278h/IRQ5, or 378h/IRQ7
Port (Default) to set the on-board parallel port.
Parallel Port Choose EPP1.7, EPP1.9, ECP, ECP + EPP1.7, ECP +
Mode EPP1.9, PS/2, or Normal (Default) mode.
ECP Mode Use Choose DMA channel 1 or channel 3 to set the ECP
DMA mode.
Onboard IDE This option enables or disables the one board PCI IDE
Controller controller.
Onboard IDE PIO Choose Mode 0 ~ Mode 4, or Auto (Default) to change
Mode IDE data transfers speed.
Load BIOS Defaults
BIOS Defaults indicates the values required by the system for the minimum
performance. Choose this item and following message appears:
“Load BIOS Defaults (Y/N)? N”
To use the BIOS defaults, change the prompt to “Y” and press <Enter>.
Load Setup Defaults
Setup Defaults indicates the values of system parameters which will give the
best performance. Choose this item and the following message appears:
“Load Setup Defaults (Y/N)? N”
To use the Setup defaults, change the prompt to “Y” and press <Enter>.
Award BIOS Setup 3-15
Setting Password
This Main Menu item lets you configure the system so that a password is
required every time the system boots or an attempt is made to enter the Setup
program. Change the password as follows:
1. Choose “PASSWORD SETTING” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>.
The following message appears:
“Enter Password:”
2. Enter a password and press <Enter>.
(If you do not wish to use the password function, you can just press <Enter>
and a “Password disabled” message appears.)
3. After you enter your password, the following message appears prompting
you to confirm the new password:
“Confirm Password:”
4. Re-enter your password and then Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.
Important: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access the
system is to set the CMOS RAM discharge jumper to clear the
CMOS RAM. All setup information is lost and you must run the
BIOS setup program again.
IDE HDD Auto Detection
The BIOS automatically detects the hard disk type and configures the
STANDARD CMOS SETUP accordingly.
