CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™

5.1 INTRODUCTION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly
functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and
Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset
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.

5.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT

OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system includes
DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install DirectX 8.1.)

[WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’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™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

Note:

Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please make sure your display
card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is
required for Direct3D rendering.

5. Hardware Monitor Panel

Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be
highlighted and the Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as
the following figure.

BIOS Setup

Introduction

This manual discussed Award™ Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. T he Setup
program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This specia l information
is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the
power is turned off.

The 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
4 processor input/output system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for
standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.

Adding important has customized the Award BIOS™, but nonstandard, features such as
virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.

The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your
system using Setup.

PWRON After PWR- Fail

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 that provide current to the CMOS area
that retains these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the
Power Supply (5VSB), and the P ower 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 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”.
“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.

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.

Reload Global Timer Event

Reload Global Timer Events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system
from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect,
the system remains alert for anything, which occurs to a device, which is configured as
Enabled, even when the system is in a power down mode.

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

Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations



Re se t Config urat io n 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. T hese
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.

Resources Cont rolled 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.

IRQ Re sources

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. T his 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 / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VG A 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 pa lette
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.

CPU Clock

This item 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.
