Hard Disk Setup (Primary/Secondary; Master/Slave)

This category identifies up to four IDE hard disk drives that have been installed

in the computer. This section does not show information on other IDE devices such

as CD-ROM drives or other hard drive types such as SCSI drives.

Page 14

Award BIOS Setup Program

Type (Auto/User/None): Use the fields under the Type column to determine the method

you will use to configure the IDE devices. If you choose Auto, BIOS will automatically

detect and make optimal settings for most IDE hard drives.

The mainboard manufacturer recommends that you choose Auto for all

drives.

Choose User to define your own drive type manually. You must enter values indicated

in the table below into each drive parameter field. This information should be included

in the documentation from your hard disk vendor or system manufacturer:

TYPE Setting method

CYLS Number of cylinders

HEAD Number of heads

PRECOMP Write precompensation cylinder

LANDZ Landing zone

SECTOR Number of sectors

MODE Mode type

Table 3-1 Hard Disk Drive Parameters

Cyls/Head/Sector: The number of Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors can usually be found

written on the top of the hard disk. If you have a relatively new hard drive, entering

this information alone is usually sufficient for normal hard disk operation. The hard

disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for these categories.

Precomp: Older hard drives (i.e., MFM or RLL drives) have the same number of

sectors per track at the innermost tracks as at the outermost tracks. Thus, the data

density at the innermost tracks is higher and the bits are lying closer together. Even

though the physical size of a sector gets progressively smaller as the track diameter

diminishes, each sector must still hold 512 bytes. Write precompensation circuitry

compensates for the difference in sector size by boosting the write current for inner

track sectors.

Landz: This defines the address of the landing zone and is only used for older hard

drives which do not have an auto-parking feature.

Mode: If the Type value is not None for any device, you must set the Mode value

for that device. There are four different Mode values: Auto, Normal, Large, and

LBA.

Auto - BIOS detects and enters the IDE drive type during bootup.

Normal - for IDE drives that meet the old IDE specification which support

a maximum capacity of 528MB (1024 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors).

Page 15

User's Manual

Large - for IDE drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024

cylinders. Try this setting if your hard disk does not operate properly with

the LBA setting. Large mode is not supported by all operating systems, i.e.,

only certain versions of DOS support large mode.

LBA - (Large/Logical Block Addressing) With LBA, the IDE controller

transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number

into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. This

mode is for drives with greater than 1024 cylinders and between 528MB and

8.4GB in size. This protocol is the current common standard.

Choose None for Type if there are no IDE HDD devices in your system.

You can use the IDE HDD Auto Detection function to auto detect your hard

drive parameters. Using this function will automatically insert the parameters

discussed under Hard Disk Setup and will indicate User for the Field value.

Please see Section 3-9 for more information.

Floppy Disk Drives

Choose the memory capacity and disk size that corresponds with that of your floppy

disk drive(s).

Video

Select the type of video adapter present in your system. You can ignore this setting

if you are using a VGA monitor since VGA BIOS automatically configures this setting.

Halt

When the system is powered on, BIOS performs a series of diagnotic tests called

POST (Power On Self Test). This function stops the computer if BIOS detects a

hardware error. You can tell BIOS to halt on all errors, no errors, or not to halt

on specific errors.

A. Anti Virus Protection

Trend ChipAway Virus

Trend ChipAway Virus is a code incorporated in the mainboard's BIOS firmware.

During the boot-up sequence, BIOS loads before loading of the partition table

or boot sector. ChipAway Virus loads with BIOS and is able to detect boot-up

viruses before they have a chance to infect the hard drive. ChipAway Virus employs

rule-based logic that doesn't look for specific viruses but rather detects patterns

found in every virus, eliminating the need to perform periodical version updates

after new viruses have been found.

Page 17

User's Manual

B. Cache Control

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache

Cache memory is much faster than conventional DRAM system memory. These

fields allow you to enable or disable the CPUs Level 1 built-in cache and Level

2 external cache. Both settings are left enabled to significantly increase the

performance of your computer.

C. Boot Up Features

After turning on the system, BIOS will perform a series of device initializations

and diagnostic tests discussed below.

Quick Power On Self Test (POST)

Enable this function to reduce the amount of time required to run the POST (Power

On Self Test). BIOS saves time by skipping some items during POST. It is

recommended that you disable this setting. Discovering a problem during bootup

is better than loosing data during your work.

First/Second/Third/Boot Other Device

This option sets the sequence of drives BIOS attempts to boot from after POST

completes. BIOS will search these drives for an operating system.

Swap Floppy Drive

Enabling this function will swap the floppy drive assignment so that drive A

will function as drive B, and drive B will function as drive A. Note that the

boot sequence assignment mentioned directly above does not inlcude booting from

floppy drive B. This function is useful if floppy drives B and A are of a different

format and you want to boot from floppy drive B.

Boot up Floppy Seek

During POST, BIOS will determine if the installed floppy disk drive has 40 or

80 tracks. A 360K drive has 40 tracks and 720K, 1.2M and 1.44M drives have

80 tracks. All modern floppy disk drives have 80 tracks.

Boot Up NumLock Status

This function defines the keyboard's numberpad as number keys or arrow keys.

D. Gate A 20 Option

Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1 MB (extended

memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to

Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20

to Fast improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.

Page 18

Award BIOS Setup Program

E. Keyboard Interface

Typematic Rate Setting

When enabled, you can set the following two typematic control items. When

disabled, keystrokes are determined arbitrarily by the keyboard controller in your

system.

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

The typematic rate sets the rate at which characters on the screen repeat when

a key is pressed and held down.

Typematic Delay (Msec)

The typematic delay sets how long after you press a key that a character begins

repeating.

F. Security Option

The Supervisor and/or User Password functions shown in Figure 3-1 must be

set to take advantage of this function. See Section 3-11 for password setting

information. When the Security Option is set to System, a password must be

entered to boot the system or enter the BIOS setup program. When the Security

Option is set to Setup, a password is required to enter the BIOS setup program.

G. OS Select (For DRAM > 64MB)

If your system's DRAM is larger than 64MB and you are running OS/2, select

OS/2 as the item value. Otherwise, set the item value to Non-OS/2 for all other

operating systems.

All of the above settings have been determined by the mainboard manufacturer

and should not be changed unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing.

Explanation of the DRAM timing and chipset features setup is lengthy, highly

technical and beyond the scope of this manual. Below are abbreviated descriptions

of the functions in this setup menu. You can look on the world wide web

for helpful chipset and RAM configuration information including AWARD's

web site athttp://www.award.com.

A. Memory Hole at 15M-16M

Enabling this function will reserve the memory address space between 15MB

and 16MB for ISA expansion cards. However, enabling this function will result

in not allowing the system to have access to memory above 16MB. Please note

that some expansion cards require this setting to be enabled. The default setting

is Disabled.is enabled. If Auto Configuration is enabled, you must set the DRAM

timing function to 60ns or 70ns, depeding on the type of DRAM you install.

Page 20

Award BIOS Setup Program

B. Flash BIOS Protection

The mainboard manufacturer developed BIOS protection technology that protects

the System BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or computer

viruses. When enabled, the BIOS data cannot be changed when attempting to

update BIOS with the the FLASH utility. When disabled, the BIOS data can be

updated by using the FLASH utility.

C. Hardware Reset Protect

When this function is enabled, your PC's hardware reset button will not function.

This function is especially useful to prevent accidental resets for file servers and

routers, etc., which should be available 24 hrs/day. When disabled, your PC's

hardware reset button will function normally.

A. Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI)

ACPI management enables the operating system to control the amount of power

given to each device attached to the computer. With ACPI, the operating system

can turn off peripherals devices, such as CD-ROM players, when they are not

in use.

B. Power Management

Power management allows the computer to save electricity when it is not in use

by entering increasingly deep power saving modes as shown by the diagram below.

Figure 3-7 Power Saving Mode Flow Chart

Page 24

Award BIOS Setup Program

V/H SYNC+Blank - The system turns off the vertical and horizontal synchro-

nization ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's electron gun

turns off. This function requires a monitor with Green features in order to

take advantage of the power saving function. If you enable this function and

do not have a Green monitor, the result will be the same as if you had selected

Blank. This function serves as both a screen saver and an electricity saver.

DPMS Supported - Select this option if your video card supports the Display

Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a monitor that

supports Green features). Use software supplied by your your video subsystem

to set video power management options.

C. Video Off Method

This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors.

See the next function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer.

Blank - BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity saved

in this mode is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver

to prevent screen damage while the screen is on but not in use.

V/H SYNC+Blank - The system turns off the vertical and horizontal syn-

chronization ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's electron

gun turns off. This function requires a monitor with Green features in order

to take advantage of the power saving function. If you enable this function

and do not have a Green monitor, the result will be the same as if you had

selected Blank. This function serves as both a screen saver and an electricity

saver.

DPMS Supported - Select this option if your video card supports the Display

Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a monitor that

supports Green features). Use software supplied by your your video subsystem

to set video power management options.

D. Video Off In Suspend

This setting determines when the monitor enters power saving mode. If set to

Yes, the monitor enters the power saving mode after the chosen event expires.

The Power Management function must be enabled to use this function.

E. Modem Use IRQ

If your computer has an modem, use this function to tell BIOS which IRQ is being

occupied by the modem card. When the system is in Green mode, the modem

requires an IRQ assignment to wake up the system and perform tasks. This

assignment is compliant with the APM 1.2 specification and is to be used in

coordination with APM 1.2 compliant operating systems.

Page 25

User's Manual

F. Suspend Mode

The Power Management function must not be set to disabled to enable this

function. If the system runs in Standby mode and the Suspend timer expires,

all devices regulated by power management will shut off and the CPU speed

will be 0 MHz.

G. HDD Power Down

The Power Management function must not be set to disabled to enable this

function. When the HDD idle time has elapsed, BIOS sends a command to

the hard disk to turn off the motor. Set a time between 1 and 15 to indicate

time required to wait before the hard drive enters a power saving mode. Some

old hard drives may not support this function.

H. Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN

When set to Delay 4 Sec., this function allows the power button to put the system

in Suspend, a power saving mode. See Section 2-4 for operation instructions

of the over-ride power button operation wich puts the system in Suspend mode.

When set to Instant-Off the Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN function is disabled and

the computer turns completely off when the power button is pressed.

I. Wake-Up by PCI card

Some PCI (Modem) cards use PME signal to wake up your system. Enable this

function if your PCI card support this feature.

J. Power On By Modem

When enabled, a modem that receives a call will wake up the system from

soft off and green mode. You should connect the modem to the COM port

and turn on the resume event in green mode.

K. Wake Up On LAN

Enable this selection to use the Wake Up On LAN function discussed in Section

2-4 of this manual.

L. USB KB Wake-Up From S3

When enabled, this setting allows the USB keyboard to wake up the system

from S3 mode (Suspend to RAM).

Page 26

Award BIOS Setup Program

M. CPU Thermal-Throttling

When the system enters Doze mode, the CPU clock runs only part of the time.

You may select the percent of time that the clock runs.

N. Power On By Alarm

When enabled, this setting allows the system to turn back on at a designated

time of the month. User must designate date of month and time of day. This

function is only available when using an ATX power supply and the Software

Power-Off function to turn off the computer. See the Software Power-Off feature

in Section 2-4 of this manual for instructions.

O. Reload Global Timer Events

When Enabled, an event occurring on each listed device restarts the global timer

for Standby mode.

When set to Manual the system BIOS will not refer to the ESCD for IRQ & DMA

information. Instead, it will refer to the items in the setup menu for assigning IRQ

& DMA. When set to Auto the system BIOS will refer to the ESCD for all legacy

information.

ESCD(Extended System Configuration Data) provides a detailed format of

the configuration data structures stored in flash memory. Each data structure

defines the resources used by a device or a card in the system. This includes

legacy and PCI/ISA PnP devices.

C. FDD IRQ Can Be Free

This function allows user to choose if the FDD IRQ is able to be freed up. The

default setting is Yes and this does not allow the IRQ to be free.

3-11 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting

There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are

located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure

3-1). When the Security Option function is set to Setup, a password is required to

enter BIOS and change BIOS settings. When the Securitiy Option function is set

to System, a password is required to to enter both BIOS and the the computer's operating

system (for example Windows 95) found on the boot drive. This is shown in Figures

3-12 and 3-13.

The third and fourth variables are user password and supervisor password selected

in BIOS (Figure 3-1). The main purpose of separating user and supervisor is to

allow only the supervisor to have control over the settings in BIOS. The user, on

the other hand, is only allowed to access the computer's operating system and change

the user passorword in BIOS (See Figure 3-13). Note that when there is no supervisor

password set, the user password controls access to all BIOS settings (See Figure

3-12 below).
