1.5 Cooling Requirements

The CPU, I/O Controller Hub (Southbridge), and voltage regula­tors are the main sources o f heat on the board. T he ReadyBoard
740 is designed to operate at its maxi mum CPU speed of 1.66GHz
using the cooling solution provided with the board (the chipset
requires a heatsink, and the CPU requires a passive heatsink for
the Atom N450 version, active fansink for Atom D410/510 ver­sion).

3 BIOS Setup

The following chapter describes basic navigation for the
AMIBIOS®8 BIOS setup utility.

3.1 Starting the BIOS

To enter the setup screen, follow these steps:

1. Power on the motherboard

2. Press the < Delete > key on your keyboard when you
see the following text prompt:
< Press DEL to run Setup >

3. After you press the < Delete > key, the main BIOS setup
menu displays. You can access the other setup screens
from the main BIOS setup menu , such as Chipset and
Power menus.

RB-740

Note: In most cases, the < Delete > key is used to invoke the setup

screen. There are several cases that use other keys, such as
< F1 >, < F2 >, and so on.

BIOS Setup 19

Setup Menu

The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navi­gate. Each main BIOS setup menu option is described in this
user’s guide.

The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left
frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayed”
options cannot be configured, “Blue” options can be.

The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is
an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected
in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will
accompany it.

Navigation

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called
hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at
any time during the setup navigation process.

These keys include < F1 >, < F10 >, < Enter >, < ESC >, < Arrow >
keys, and so on. .

20 BIOS Setup

RB-740

Note: There is a hot key legend located in the r ight frame on most

setup screens.

The < F8 > key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not dis­played on the key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings
of the BIOS, press the < F8 > key on your keyboard. It is located
on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The Fail-Safe set­tings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of
options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.

Hotkey Descriptions

F1 The < F1 > key allows you to display the General Help

screen.
Press the < F1 > key to open the General Help screen.

BIOS Setup 21

F10 The < F10 > key allows you to save any changes you have

made and exit Setup. Press the < F10 > key to save your
changes. The following screen will appear:

Press the < Enter > key to save the configuration and exit.
You can also use the < Arrow > key to select Cancel and
then press the < Enter > key to abort this functio n and return
to the previous screen.

ESC The < Esc > key allows you to discard any changes you have

made and exit the Setup. Press the < Esc > key to exit the
setup without saving your changes. The following screen will
appear:

Press the < Enter > key to discard changes and exit. You can
also use the < Arrow > key to select Cancel and then press
the < Enter > key to abort this function and return to the pre­vious screen.

Enter The < Enter > key allows you to display or change the setup

option listed for a particular setup item. The < Enter > key
can also allow you to display the setup sub-screens.

22 BIOS Setup

RB-740

3.2 Main Setup

When you first enter the Setup Utility , you will enter the Main setup
screen. You can always return to the Main setup screen by select­ing the Main tab. There are two Main Setup options. They are
described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown
below.

System Time/System Date

Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight Sys­tem Time or System Date using the < Arrow > keys. Enter new val­ues using the keyboard. Press the < Tab > key or the < Arrow >
keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in MM/
DD/YY format. The time is entered in HH:MM:SS format.

Note: The time is in 24-hour format. For example, 5:30 A.M. ap-

pears as 05:30:00, and 5:30 P.M. as 17:30:00.

BIOS Setup 23

3.3 Advanced BIOS Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the setup screen to enter the
Advanced BIOS Setup screen. You can select any of the items in
the left frame of the screen, such as SuperIO Configuration, to go
to the sub menu for that item. You can display an Advanced BIOS
Setup option by highlighting it using the < Arrow > keys. The
Advanced BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

The sub menus are described on the following pages.

CPU Configuration

You can use this screen to select options for the CPU Configura­tion Settings. Use the up and down < Arrow > keys to select an
item. Use the < + > and < - > keys to change the value of the
selected option. A description of the selected item appears on the
right side of the screen. The settings are described on the follow­ing pages. An example of the CPU Configuration screen is shown
below.

24 BIOS Setup

Max CPUID Value Limit

RB-740

When enabled, allows legacy operating systems to support

Execute-Disable Bit Capability

Intel¡¦s Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent cer­tain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when com­bined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit
allows the processor to classify areas in memory where appli­cation code can execute and where it cannot. When a mali­cious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor
disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propa­gation.

Set this value to disabled to force the XD feature flag to always
return 0. Default is enabled.
