CPU Speed Setup

The system bus speed is selectable at 66,100,133MHz and Auto. The user can select the system bus speed (SW1) and change the DIP switch (SW2) selection to set up the CPU speed for 300MHz –1GHz and faster processor.

The CPU speed must match with the frequency ratio. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency ratio is higher than that of CPU.

Note:

1. If you use 66/100/133 MHz CPU, We recommend you to setup your system speed to “Auto” value.

2. We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75 , 83 , 112 , 124 , 140 ,150 MHz because these frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, Chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under 75 ,83 ,112 ,124 ,140 ,150 MHz properly will depend on your hardware configurations: CPU, SDRAM, Cards, etc.

Suspend to RAM Installation

Suspend To RAM Installation

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 JP11 Closed.)

Open STR Disabled

Close STR Enabled

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.

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”

36

6VM7-4I 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.

37

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 five ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button.

2. Use the “USB Device Power On” function.

3. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.

4. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.

5. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.

38

6VM7-4I Motherboard

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 JP5 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:

DIMM 168-pin SDRAM DIMM Modules DIMM 1 Supports 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 / 512 MB X 1 pcs DIMM 2 Supports 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 / 512 MB X 1 pcs

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.

The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installe d in the 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.

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 caus ing 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.

Extended Memory

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.

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.

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

Appendix C: 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 AWDFlas h.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.
