Introduction
This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the product. The Setup program allows users to
modify the basic system configuration.
Starting Setup
The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.
By pressing <DEL> immediately after switching the system on, or
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try
again by turning it OFF then ON. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and
<Delete> keys.
Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the F5 and F6 keys to
change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail
about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

5. BIOS Setup
In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able
to boot, we should repair it
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly
recommend that you avoid making any changes to the CPU defaults and the chipset defaults. These
defaults have been carefully chosen by both Insyde and your systems manufacturer to provide the
absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to them has the potential
for causing you to be repaired.
A Final Note About Setup
The information in this chapter is subject to change without notice.

Gate A20 Option
With the field, there is the option to choose, aside from the hard disks connected,
“Bootable add-in Cards” which refers to other external devices.
If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying to write on
the boot sector or on the partition table on the disk, which is typical of the virus.
Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and
most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the
CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM
into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These allow you to enable
(speed up memory access) or disable the cache function.
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system
is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating
system. The options available include Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP100,
USB-Floppy, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, LAN and Disable.
These fields allow the system to search for an OS from other devices other than the
ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device.
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used
to address memory above 1 MB.

default, this field is set to Disabled.
When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated keystrokes
speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30 characters per second.
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for
displaying the first and second characters. By default, this item is set to 250msec.
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default value is
Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User Password every
time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system always boots up and prompts
for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up.
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The default setting is
Enabled.
This option is specifies the MPS (Multiprocessor Specification) version for your

multiple PCI bus configurations and improve future expandability. The default setting is
1.4.
This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory when

choices are Enabled and Disabled.
The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this

This field allows you to select the type of power saving management modes. There are
four selections for Power Management.
Min. Power Saving: Minimum power management
Max. Power Saving: Maximum power management.
User Define: Each of the ranges is from 1 min. to 1hr. Except for
HDD Power Down which ranges from 1 min. to 15 min.
When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be
powered down while all other devices remain active.
This field defines the Video Off features. There are three options.
V/H SYNC + Blank: Default setting, blank the screen and turn off vertical and horizontal
scanning.
DPMS: Allows BIOS to control the video display.
Blank Screen: Writes blanks to the video buffer.
This field defines the power-off mode when using an ATX power supply. The Instant
Off mode allows powering off immediately upon pressing the power button. In the By
Hardware mode, the system powers off when the power button is pressed for more than
four seconds or enters the suspend mode when pressed for less than 4 seconds.
HPET, or High Precision Event Timer (formerly known as Multimedia Timer) is a
hardware timer that is supported under Linux and Windows Vista. It can produce
periodic interrupts at a much higher resolution than the RTC and is often used to
synchronize multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the need to use
other timestamp calculations such as an x86 CPU’s RDTSC instruction.

This PnP BIOS can configure all of the boot and compatible devices with the use of
a PnP operating system such as Windows 95.
Some non-standard VGA display cards may not show colors properly. This field
allows you to set whether or not MPEG ISA/VESA VGA cards can work with
PCI/VGA. When this field is enabled, a PCI/VGA can work with an MPEG
ISA/VESA VGA card. When this field is disabled, a PCI/VGA cannot work with an
MPEG ISA/VESA card.
PCI latency refers to the number of cycles that any device can hold an IRQ before it
is disconnected.

assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will
clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password.
Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will
confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can
enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED:
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup.
This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every
time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your com puter.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security
option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays
on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your
system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted
again.
