WarpSpeeder

Introduction

[ W arpSpeeder™ ], a new powerful control utility, features three user-f riendly functions
including Ov erclock Manager, Ov ervolt age Manager, and Hardware Monit or.

With the Over clock Manager, users can easil y adjus t th e freque nc y they prefer or they can
get t he best CPU performance wit h jus t one click. The Overv oltage Manager, on the other

hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware

PWRON After P WR-Fail

This fie ld determ ines the action the system will automatically take when power is
restored to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent

manual intervention. T here are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area
that retains these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the P ower
Supply (5VSB), and the Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supply ing power,

the motherboard uses the motherboard battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and
the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from the Power 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”.

22

P4TDQ-V BIOS Setup

“Former-Sts” Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC

po wer is lost.

“On” Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC

po wer is lost

“Off” (default) Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC

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 which 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 that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Figure 7. P nP/PCI Configurations



Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP 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 it. The
system nee ds to record and u pdate ES CD to the mem ory lo cations. These locat ions (4K)
are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s

ESCD will update on ly 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
“D isab led” mode.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources
controlled by function.

Le gacy is the term, which sign if ie s tha t a re sour ce is ass igned to the IS A Bus and pro vides
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.

24

P4TDQ-V BIOS Setup

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

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
Choosin g “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.

IRQ Resources

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 “P ress 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

PCI / VG A Pa lette Sn oop

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
informat ion and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA cont roller is dr awn f rom the pale tte
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller
needs to know what is in the palette of th e VGA contro ller. T o 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 IS A bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA contro ller responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller shou ld not respond to the Write, it should only sno op
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 th is option.

Disabled (default) Disables the function.
Enabled Enables the function.
