Follow these precautions when operating your computer.
1. Always unplug the power cord when inserting any add-on card or
module inside the system.
2. Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity. If one is not available, discharge
static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded
object before working on the motherboard.
3. Place components on a level grounded antistatic pad or on the
packaging that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system.
4. Keep equipment away from moisture and humidity.
5. Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

The motherboard uses the latest Award BIOS with support for Windows Plug
Chapter 3: Award® BIOS Setup
About the Setup Utility
and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's configuration status and provides you with options to set system
parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM
that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is
turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in
CMOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:
• Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
• Video display type and display options
• Password protection from unauthorized use
• Power management features
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs.
Before using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility
options.
This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.

NA380 Motherboard
The Standard Configuration
A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However,
we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any
changes in the future.
This Setup Utility should be used:
• when changing the system configuration
• when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to
make changes to the Setup Utility
• when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts
• when making changes to the Power Management configuration
• when changing the password or making other changes to the Secu-
rity Setup

Entering the Setup Utility
When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test
(POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the
BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:
Press DEL to enter SETUP
Pressing the delete key accesses the BIOS Setup Utility:
The Main menu allows you to select and modify your computer system. To
navigate through the menu, use the arrow keys to select among the items

Updating the BIOS
You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the
manufacturer's Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals,
improvements in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as
follows:
1. If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow BIOS flashing. Refer to Chapter 2 for jumper settings.
2. If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents
BIOS from being overwritten.)
3. Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for
information on creating a bootable system disk.)
4. Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer's Web site. Copy these files to the system diskette you
created in Step 3.
5. Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer's diskette drive. (You might need to run the Setup Utility and
change the boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features Setup
page, to force your computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive.)
6. At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press
<Enter>. You see a screen similar to the following:

7. Type the filename of the new BIOS in the “File Name to Program”
text box. Follow the onscreen directions to update the motherboard
BIOS.
8. When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from
the diskette drive and restart your computer. If your motherboard
has a Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS from being overwritten.

This option lets you control system power management. The system has
various power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning
off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the
system to be automatically resumed by certain events.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so
that the timeout period elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If
any item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
Wake Up Calls
If the system is suspended, or has been powered down by software, it can
be resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock,

On motherboards that support hardware monitoring, this item lets you
monitor the parameters for critical voltages, critical temperatures, and fan
speeds.
This item enables you to set the clock speed and system bus for your system. The clock speed and system bus are determined by the kind of
processor you have installed in your system.
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install fail-safe defaults for all
appropriate items in the Setup Utility:
Press <Y> and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter>
to not install the defaults. The fail-safe defaults place no great demands on the
system and are generally stable. If your system is not functioning correctly, try
installing the fail-safe defaults as a first step in getting your system working
properly again. If you only want to install fail-safe defaults for a specific option,
select and display that option, and then press <F6>.
Load Optimized Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for all appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then <Enter> to install the
defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the defaults. The optimized
defaults place demands on the system that may be greater than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU and the memory. You can
cause fatal errors or instability if you install the optimized defaults when your
hardware does not support them. If you only want to install setup defaults for a
specific option, select and display that option, and then press <F7>.
