Safety Precautions

Before getting started, read the following important cautions.

1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap
and place all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static
electrical charge.

2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA-810 before making
any installation. Be sure both the system and the external
devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components. Make sure the NA-810 is properly
grounded.

3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for
maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to
do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to
static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic
discharge, observe the following precautions:

9 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an

unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds.
This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.

9 When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding

strap, available from most electronic component stores.

Award BIOS Utility

Chapter 3 describes the different settings available in the Award
BIOS that comes with the SBC8A810. Also contained here are
instructions on how to set up the BIOS configuration.

3.1 BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical
low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial and
parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as
special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the
entire system.

3.2 BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system
stores the Setup utility. When you turn ON the computer, the Award
BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately
allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late
pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power on Self Test) will continue
with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If
you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing
the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and
<Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system OFF and
back ON again. The following message will appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to
select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for
help and <Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear
on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from var ious
setup functions and exit choices.

Award BIOS Utility

SBC86804 Hardware Installation Guide

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displa ys the
control keys for this menu. Another section located at the bottom of
the Main Menu, just below the control keys section, d isplays
information on the currently highlighted item in the list.

NOTE: If you find that your computer cannot boot after making and

saving system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS, via its
built-in override feature, resets your system to the CMOS
default settings.

We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the
chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both
Award and your system manufacturer to provide the absolute
maximum performance and reliability.

3.3 Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and
error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working
system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run
the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system

3.8 PNP/PCI Configuration

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O
devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses
when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended
that only experienced users should make any changes to the default
settings.

from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password.
Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press
<Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter password. A message will confirm the password being disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can
enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you
enter Setup. This prevents any unauthorized person from changing
your system configuration.

Additionally when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots. This
would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
