ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take
care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores, when handling boards and components.

CHAPTER 4
PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS UTILITY
The Phoenix-Award BIOS provides users with a built-in Setup program
to modify basic system configuration. All configured parame ters are
stored in a battery-backed-up RAM (CMOS RAM) to save the Setup
information whenever the power is turned off.
4.1 Entering Setup
There are two ways to enter the Setup program. You may either turn
ON the computer and press <Del> immediately, or press the <Del>
and/or <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys simultaneously when the
following message appears at the bottom of the screen during POST
(Power on Self Test).
TO ENTER SETUP PRESS DEL KEY
If the message disappears before you respond and you still want to
enter Setup, please restart the system to try it again. Turning the
system power OFF and ON, pressing the “RESET” button on the
system case or simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys
can restart the system. If you do not press keys at the right time and
the system doesn’t boot, an error message will pop out to prompt you
the following information:

keys to select the Setup Page you intend to configure then press
<Enter> to accept or enter its sub-menu.
NOTE If your computer can not boot after making and saving
system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS will reset
your system to the CMOS default settings via its built-in
override feature.
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the
chipset’s defaults. Both Award and your system manufacturer have
carefully set up these defaults that provide the best perfo rma nce an d
reliability.

z IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system
interrupt as one of the following types, depending on the type of
device using the interrupt:
1. Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus
specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port
1).
2. PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard,
whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
The default value is “PCI/ISA PnP”.
z DMA Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA
channel as one of the following types, depending on the type of
device using the interrupt:
1. Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus
specification, requiring a specific DMA channel.
2. PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard,
whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
The default value is “PCI/ISA PnP”.
z PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Some non-standard VGA display cards may not show colors
properly. This field allows you to set whether MPEG ISA/VESA
VGA Cards can work with PCI/VGA or not. When enabled, a
PCI/VGA can work with a MPEG ISA/VESA VGA card. When
disabled, a PCI/VGA cannot work with a MPEG ISA/VESA Card.
z Assign IRQ For VGA
The Enabled item allows the BIOS to auto-route an IRQ for use by
a VGA card.

To disable the password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter a password. A message will confirm the password is getting

can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter
the Setup. It prevents any unauthorized persons 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.
