Important notes
Store this manual close to the device. If you pass on the device to third parties,
you should also pass on this manual.
Be sure to read this page carefully and note the information before you
!
open the device.
You cannot access the components of the system board without first
opening the device. How to dismantle and reassemble the device is
described in the Operating Manual accompanying the device.
Please note the information provided in the chapter "Safety" in the
Operating Manual of the device.
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of
explosion. It is therefore essential to observe the instructions in the
chapter "Add-on modules" - "Replacing the lithium battery".
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a
battery type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032).
Do not throw lithium batteries into the trashcan. It must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.

A26361-D969-Z120-8-7619 9
Important notes
The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements
of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility".
Compliance was tested in a typical PC configuration.
When installing the board, refer to the specific installation
information in the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of the
receiving device.
Connecting cables for peripherals must be adequately insulated to avoid
interference.
Components can become very hot during operation. Make sure you do
!
not touch components when making extensions to the system board.
There is a danger of burns!
The warranty expires if the device is damaged during the installation or
i
replacement of system expansions. Information on which system
expansions you can use is available from your sales office or the
customer service.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) may be identified by labels.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following points
under all circumstances:
• You must always discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object)
before working.
• The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
• Pull out the power plug before inserting or pulling out boards containing ESDs.
• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Settings in BIOS Setup
The BIOS Setup menu allows you to set your hardware configuration and system
functions. In addition, the BIOS Setup displays technical information on the PC's
configuration.
When it is supplied, the PC is set to factory default settings which you can alter in
the BIOS Setup menus. You can change these settings in BIOS Setup. Any changes
you make take effect as soon as you save the settings and quit the BIOS Setup.
The Operating Manual describes how to call the BIOS Setup and change menu
entries.
You can select the following settings in the BIOS Setup:
Main - system functions
Advanced - advanced system configuration
Security - security features
Power - power-management features
BIOSFaX - quick start functions
Exit - save and quit
The various menus are described below with all setting options. Since the
i
setting options depend on your PC's hardware configuration, some of
them may not be offered in the BIOS setup.
Main menu - Making system settings
In the Main menu you can set up the following:
• Time (in the field marked System Time)
• Date (in the field marked System Date)
• Floppy disk drive (in the field marked Diskette A or Diskette B)
• Hard disk drive (in the submenus of Hard Disk)
• System boot (in the submenus of Boot Options)
• Display device (in the field marked Video Display)

(hours:minutes:seconds) and the date is shown in the format mm/dd/yyyy
(month/day/year).
If the settings in the System Time and System Date fields are frequently

The maximum transfer speed is supported independently on all four
IDE drives. Consequently a fast and a slow hard disk drive can be
attached at an IDE connector without affecting the maximum transfer
speed of the fast drive.
The following description of the setting options for Hard Disk 1 also applies to Hard
Disk 2, Hard Disk 3 and Hard Disk 4. The default settings depend on the installed

Autotype Hard Disk
Only if you have installed a new unrecorded IDE hard disk drive, you
!
should mark the AutotypeHard Disk field.
If you have set the hard disk parameters with Autotype Hard Disk, you can
only reduce the values.
If you have installed a new unrecorded IDE hard disk drive, you should mark the
Autotype Hard Disk field and press Enter. This has the effect of setting the optimum
values for the IDE hard disk drive. You can change these values if you set the Type
field to User.
Type - Hard Disk Type
This field is used to specify the type of hard disk drive.
None You cannot change the hard disk parameters (Cylinders, Heads,
Sector/Track and Write Precomp). An IDE drive has not been
installed.
1 to 39 The hard disk parameters (Cylinders, Heads, etc.) are preset.
Auto If the hard disk supports this mode, the setup menu reads the hard
disk parameters from the disk itself. You do not need to select the
parameters yourself.
User You can enter the hard disk parameters (Cylinders, Heads etc.)
yourself.
If you have set the hard disk parameters with Autotype Hard Disk,
you can only reduce the values.
Examples of user-defined entries (IDE drives):
Hard disk hard disk capacity
parameter 850 Mbyte 1,2 Gbyte 1,6Gbyte
Cylinders 1654 2484 3148
Heads 16 16 16

Main - system functions Settings in BIOS Setup
Cylinders, Heads, Sectors/Track, Write Precomp - hard disk parameter
These hard disk parameters are set in accordance with the IDE hard disk drive. If
you want to change the hard disk parameters manually, set the Type field to User.
Transfer Mode
This field specifies the transfer mode for the IDE hard disk drive.
Standard One block is transferred for each interrupt (default entry).
2 Sectors, 4 Sectors, 6 Sectors, 8 Sectors, 16 Sectors
The set number of blocks (sectors) is transferred for each interrupt.
LBA Translation - Addressing
This field enables and disables the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode. LBA
mode allows you to install and use IDE hard disks with a capacity of more than 528
Mbytes. If a hard disk supports LBA mode, you can use the full capacity of the IDE
hard disk.
The default entry depends on the installed IDE hard disk drive. Change the default
entries only if you are installing another hard disk drive.
You may only use IDE drives in the LBA mode selected when they were
!
set up. In other words, if you set up a hard disk with LBA mode disabled,
you may only operate the hard disk with LBA mode disabled.
Enabled If the hard disk supports LBA and it has a capacity of more than
528 Mbytes, the BIOS translates the hard disk parameters,
allowing the disk's full capacity to be used. This allows the disk's
full capacity to be used.
If the hard disk does not support LBA, its parameters are not
translated.
Disabled The BIOS uses the hard disk parameters and supports a maximum
capacity of 528 Mbytes.

PIO Mode - Transfer rate
The PIO (Programmed Input Output) Mode defines the transfer rate of the IDE
hard disk drive.
Standard 0.8 Mbyte/s to 2 Mbytes/s (default entry)
Fast PIO 1 2 Mbytes/s to 4 Mbytes/s
Fast PIO 2 4 Mbytes/s to 5 Mbytes/s
Fast PIO 3 5 Mbytes/s to 10 Mbytes/s
Fast PIO 4 more than 10 Mbyte/s
32 Bit I/O - Bus width for data transfer
This field specifies the width of data transmission between the processor and the
IDE controller.
Enabled The data transfer is 32 bits in width at the PCI bus. This enhances
performance (default entry).
Disabled The data transfer is 16 bits in width.
