ESD Precautions

Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static
electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:

 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install them.

 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted

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

 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic

component stores, when handling boards and components.

Award BIOS Utility

Chapter 7 describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS
that comes with the SBC82610VE CPU card. Also contained here are
instructions on how to set up the BIOS configuration.

4.1 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.

4.2 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 various setup
functions and exit choices.

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.

 Virus Warning

This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk
against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt
the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either
allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate and
remove the problem.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to access

the boot sector table, can cause the virus warning. If you
will run such a program, disable the Virus Warning feature.

 CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these are Enabled.

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:

1. Supervisor password: can enter and change the options of

the setup menus.

2. User password: just can enter but do not have the right to

change the options of the setup menus.

When you select this function, the following message will appear at
the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password with eight characters at most, and press <Enter>.
The password typed will now clear any previously entered password
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.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is
set to “System”, the password is required during boot up and entry
into Setup. If set as “Setup”, prompting will only occur prior to entering
Setup.
