information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
shown on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the
original system speed or a suitable one.

[WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dial og’s setting.
d. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™]
will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok,
then the current frequency will be saved into system registry. If
the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpeeder™] utili ty will restore to the hard ware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dial og’s setting.
Note:
Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and D irectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please mak e s ure your display
card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is
required f or Direct3D rendering.

In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get
the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of
[WarpSpeeder™] utility.
Note:
Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
co rrel ati ve b u t ton in Mai n panel will be di sabl ed, bu t will no t i nterfe re
other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™]

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at speeds
nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own
special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is
strongly recommended t hat only experienced users should make any changes
to the default settings.
7.1 RESET CONFIGURATION DATA
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature that requires the system to
record which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node
records which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record
and update ESCD to the memory locations. These locations (4K) are
reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen,
the system‘s ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies
from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen, the system is forced to
update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the “Disabled” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen
for the resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA
Bus and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that
a resource is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on
cards and peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Page 78
I86PE-A7 BIOS Setup
7.2 RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY
By Choosing “Auto (ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the
system resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA
channel for each peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to
assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA
and I/O port conflicts.
7.3 IRQRESOURCES
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the
“Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to
configure the system interrupts. This is only configurable when
“Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.
IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device

7.4 PCI/VGAPALETTE SNOOP
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers that are not
VGA compatible take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their
display as a way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn
from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper
colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of
the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches
for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In
PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a
non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the
palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds
to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it
should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the
ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data
on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable
this option.
Disabled (default) Disables the function.
Enabled Enables the function.

9.6 CPUCLOCK
Thisitem allows you to select CPU Clock, and CPU over clocking.
If unfortunately, the system’s frequency that you are selected is not
functioning, there are two methods of booting-up the system.
Method 1:
Clear the COMS data by setting the JCOMS1 ((2-3) closed)) as “ON”
status. All the CMOS data will be loaded as defaults setting.
Method 2:
Press the <Insert> key and Power button simultaneously, after that
keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the power-on screen showed.
This action will boot-up the system according to FSB of the processor.
It’s strongly recommended to set CPU Vcore and clock in default
setting. If the CPU Vcore and clock are not in default setting, it may
cause CPU or M/B damage.
