BIOS Setup
In troduction
This manual discussed Phoenix-Award™ Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special
information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information
when the power is turned off.
The Phoenix-Award BIOS™ installed in your computer system’ s ROM (Read Only
Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports
Intel Pentium
support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.
Adding important has customized the Phoenix-Award BIOS™ , but nonstandard, features
such as virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning
of the chipset co ntrolling the en tire syst em.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your
system using Setup.
Plug and Play Support
These PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification.
ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write is supported.
EPA Green PC Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC
specification.
APM Support
These PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power
Management (APM) specification. Power management features are i mplemented via the
System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are
supported. Power to the hard disk drives and video monitors can be managed by this
PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS.
ACPI Support
Phoenix-Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0b of Advanced Configuration and Power
interface specification (ACPI). It provi des ASL code for power management and
device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

Run VGABIOS if S3 Resu me
Choosing Enabled will make BIOS run VGA BIOS to initialize the VGA card
when system wakes up from S3 state. The system time is shortened if you
disable the function, but system will need AGP driver to initialize the card. So,
if the AGP driver of the VGA card does not support the initialization feature, the
display may work abnormally or not function after S3.
The Choices: Auto (default), Yes, No.
Ac Loss Au to Restart
This field determines the action the system will automatically take when power is
restored to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent manual
intervention. There are 3 sources th at provide current to th e CMOS area that retains thes e
P ower-On in stru ctio ns; the moth erbo ard batt ery (3 V), t he P ower S u pply (5VSB) , an d t he
Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power, the motherboard uses the
motherboard battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned
on, 5VSB from the P ower Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned
on 3.3V from the Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.
“Off” (default) Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC power is lost.
“On” Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC power is lost.
“Former-Sts” Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC power is lost.
30
P4M800 Pro-M7 BIOS SETUP
For example: If set to “ Former-Sts” and AC power is lost when system is live, then after
AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC power is lost when
system is not live, system will remain powered off.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system whi ch allows I/O devices to operate at speeds n earing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very t echnical it ems and it is strongly recommended t hat only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.
Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
When set to YE S, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for th e boot sequence
(VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system
like Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. For non-PnP
operating systems (DOS, Netware™ ), this option must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
34
P4M800 Pro-M7 BIOS SETUP
Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the P nP feature which 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 i t. The system needs to record and updat e ESCD to the memory
locations. These l ocations (4K ) are reserved in th e system BIOS. If the D isabled (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 t he term, which signi fies that a resource is assigned to t he ISA Bus and provides
non-PnP ISA add-on cards. P CI / ISA P nP signifies that a resou rce is assigned to the PCI
Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (d efault), Enabled.
Resou rces Con trolled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS wi ll detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peri pheral. 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.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.
IRQ Resou rces
This submenu w ill allow you to assign each s ystem 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

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which 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 t he palette will n ot show up on t he
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In th is cas e, t he P CI VG A co nt roll e r sh ou ld n ot resp ond to t he W rite, i t s houl d on ly s noo p
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.
