A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from STR
(S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the
system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM)
before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system state
and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup
Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes) “D:\setup /p j” in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.

『In Windows 98 second edition version, all the bios version dated 12/01/99 or later are

ACPI compatible. Just type" D:\Setup", the operating system will be installed as ACPI

mode.』
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

Step 2:

(If you want to use STR Function, please set jumper JP18 (Closed.)

Pin No. Definition

Open STR Disable

(Default)

Close STR Enable

Step 3:

Power on the computer and as soon as memory counting starts, press <Del>. You will enter BIOS
Setup. Select the item “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, then select “ACPI Sleep Type:

S3 /STR”. Remember to save the settings by pressing "ESC" and choose the “SAVE & EXIT
SETUP” option.

Congratulation! You have completed the installation and now can use the STR function.

37

Suspend to RAM Installation

A.3 How to put your system into STR mode?

There are two ways to accomplish this:

1. Choose the “Stand by” item in the “Shut Down Windows” area.

A. Press the “Start” button and then select “Shut Down”

B. Choose the “Stand by” item and press “OK”

38

6CMC7/ 6CMC7R Motherboard

2. Define the system ”power on” button to initiate STR sleep mode:

A. Double click “My Computer” and then “Control Panel”

B. Double click the “ Power Management” item.

39

Suspend to RAM Installation

C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons.

Step 4:

Restart your computer to complete setup.
Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, just momentarily press the “Power on” button..

A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode?

There are seven ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button.

2. Use the “PS/2 Keyboard Power On” function.

3. Use the “PS/2 Mouse Power On” function.

4. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.

5. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.

6. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.

7. Use the “USB Device Wake Up” function.

A.5 Notices :

1. In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must be

satisfied:
A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more than
720 mA 5V Stand-By current).
B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant.

2. Jumper JP15 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your chassis may
not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system is in STR sleep
mode.

Memory Installation

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically
detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM
Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch. Memory size can vary
between sockets.

Install memory in any combination table:

BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup is an overview of the BIOS Setup Program. The program that allows users to modify the
basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that
it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

ENTERING SETUP

Power On the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter Setup. 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 or pressing the "RESET" bottom on the system case. You may also restart
by simultaneously press <Ctrl> − <Alt>− <Del> keys.

computer. There are two types: auto type, and user definable type. User type is user-definable;
Auto type which will automatically detect HDD type.

Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not
work properly if you enter improper information for this category.

If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter
the information directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. Such information should be
provided in the documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

CYLS. Number of cylinders
HEADS number of heads

• Boot Sector Virus Protection

If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to
the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive. The system will halt and the following
error message will appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the
problem.

Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a warning

message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or
hard disk partition table

Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot

sector or hard disk partition table (Default Value)

•

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional)
memory installed in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory
installed on the motherboard.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications.

BIOS Setup

Extended Memory

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for
application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM.

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address
map.

Appendix B : BIOS Flash Procedure

BIOS update procedure:

ü Please check your BIOS vendor (AMI or AWARD) on the motherboard.

ü It is recommended you copy the AWDFlash.exe or AMIFlash.exe in driver CD

(D:\>Utility\BIOSFlash) and the BIOS binary files into the directory you made in your hard disk.
【i.e:C:\>Utility\ (C:\>Utility : denotes the driver and the directory where you put the flash
utilities and BIOS file in.)】

ü Restart your computer into MS-DOS mode or command prompt only for Win95/98, go into

the directory where the new BIOS file are located use the utility AWDFlash.exe or
AMIFlash.exe to update the BIOS.

ü Type the following command once you have enter the directory where all the files are located

C:\utility\ AWDFlash or AMIFlash <filename of the BIOS binary file intended for flashing>

ü Once the process is finished, reboot the system

MNote: Please download the newest BIOS from our website (www.gigabyte.com.tw) or contact

your local dealer for the file.
