Suspend to RAM Installation
Suspend To RAM Installation
A.1 Introduce STR function:
Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a W indows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from STR (S3) sleep
mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep
and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR
sleep mode, your system uses only enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions,
primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.
A.2 STR function Installation
Step 1:
(If you want to use STR Function, please set jumper JP7 Closed.)
1
Pin No.Definition
Open Normal (Default)
Close STR Enabled
Step 2:
Power on the computer and as soon as memory counting starts, press <Del>. You will enter BIOS Setup. Select
the item “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, then select “ACPI Sleep Type : S3 / STR”. Remember to save
the settings by pressing "ESC" and choose the “SAVE & EXIT SETUP” option.
Congratulation! You have completed the installation and now can use the STR function.
A.3 How to put your system into STR mode?
There are two ways to accomplish this:
1. Choose the “Stand by” item in the “Shut Down Windows” area.
A. Press the “Start” button and then select “Shut Down”
17
B. Choose the “Stand by” item and press “OK”
2. Define the system ”power on” button to initiate STR sleep mode:
A. Double click “My Computer” and then “Control Panel”
Suspend to RAM Installation
B. Double click the “ Power Management” item.
18
7ZX-1 Motherboard
C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons.
D. Restart your computer to complete setup.
Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, just momentarily press the “Power on”
button.
A.4 How to r ecover from the STR sleep mode?
There are five ways to “wake up” the system:
1. Press the “Power On” button.
2. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.
3. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.
4. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.
5. Use the “USB Device Wake Up” function.
A.5 Notices:
1. In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must be satisfied:
A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more than 720 mA 5V
Stand-By current).
B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 / PC-133 compliant.
2. Jumper JP8 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your chassis may not provide
this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system is in STR sleep mode.

Memory Installation
The motherboard has 3 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory
type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only
fit in one direction due to the two notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.
BIOS Setup is an overview of the BIOS Setup Program. The program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
ENTERING SETUP
Power ON the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter Setup. If the message disappears
before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or
pressing the "RESET" bottom on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously press <Ctrl> − <Alt>−
<Del> keys.

Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly
if you enter improper information for this category.
If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the information
directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the documentation
23
form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.
CYLS.Number of cylinders
HEADSnumber of heads
PRECOMPwrite precomp

If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press <Enter>.
•••• Floppy Drive A / Drive B
The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has been installed in the computer.
NoneNo floppy drive installed
360K, 5.25 in.5.25 inch PC-type standard drive; 360K byte capacity.
1.2M, 5.25 in.5.25 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte
capacity (3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled).
720K, 3.5 in.3.5 inch double-sided drive; 720K byte capacity
1.44M, 3.5 in.3.5 inch double-sided drive; 1.44M byte capacity.
2.88M, 3.5 in.3.5 inch double-sided drive; 2.88M byte capacity.
•••• Boot Sector Virus Protection
If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to the boot sector
or partition table of the hard disk drive. The system will halt and the following error message will appear in the
mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem.
EnabledActivate automatically when the system boots up causing a
warning message to appear when anything attempts to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table
DisabledNo warning message to appear when anything attempts to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. (Default
Value)
BIOS Setup
•••• Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the
system.
The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the
motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is memory that can be
used for different applications.
DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application
programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM
