Award BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program written in the BIOS. It will
give you a step-by-step guidance to configure your system. The user­defined configuration is then stored in battery -backed CMOS RAM, which
retains the customized information while the power is off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While
the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears at
the bottom of the screen during POST (Power On Self-Test):

Press DEL 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" button on the system case. You may also restart
by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do
not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an
error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

4.7 Advanced Chipset Features

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external
cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional
ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should
never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen
because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.

DRAM Timing Selectable

The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random
access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully
chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario
might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed
so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the
data held in the slower memory chips.

CAS Latency Time

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of
CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing.

The Choice: 1.5 , 2, 2.5 , 3

35

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast
gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This
field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

The Choice: 2, 3.

DRAM RAS# Precharge

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate
its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the
DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow
gives more stable performance. This field applies only when
synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

The Choice: 2, 3.

DRAM Frequency For

This field displays the capability of the memory modules that you are
using either H/W TRAP.

The choice: Auto, DDR266, DDR333, DDR400.

System BIOS Cacheable

4.10 PnP/PCI Configuration Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate

at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating
with its own special components. This section covers some very
technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset
Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you
have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused
such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot.

The choice: Enabled, Disabled .

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 computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security
option is set to password will be required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter
Setup.

49

4.16 Exit Selecting

Save & Exit Setup

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
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.

Exit Without Saving

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The
previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and
restarts your computer.

50

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can
always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to
crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software
bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, hardware on the board will
either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt
(NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.

A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer:

INT 15H:

AH – 6FH

Sub-function:

AL – 2 : Set the Watchdog Timer’s period
BL : Time-out value(Its unit--second or minute, is
dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer unit

select” in CMOS setup).

You have to call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog
Timer first. If the time-out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer will start
counting down. While the timer value reaches zero, the system will reset.
To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, the Watchdog Timer
must be periodically refreshed by calling sub-function 2. However the
Watchdog timer will be disabled if you set the time-out value to be zero.

A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown
routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that
can be very time-consuming.

Note: when exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog

Timer, otherwise the system will reset.

51

Example program:

Appendix C. How to Upgrade a New
BIOS

<Note> Before flashing BIOS , please enable the item
“FLASH BIOS” in BIOS setting.

You can install an upgrade BIOS for the SAGP-865EVG that you can
download from the manufacturer’s web site
( http://www.ieiworld.com ). New BIOS may provide support for new
peripherals ,improvements in performance or fixes to addressed
known bugs.

BIOS Update Procedure:

1. Make a boot disk. Go to the DOS command prompt in MS­DOS or Windows 9x and, with an available floppy disk in "A", type
"format A: /s" That will format the floppy and transfer the needed
system files to it.

NOTES:
A. This procedure will erase any prior data on that floppy, so
please Proceed accordingly.
B. Typically four files will be transferred, only COMMAND.COM
being visible when running a simple directory listing.
C. Please leave the diskette UN-write protected for the balance of
this procedure.

2. Download the BIOS upgrade file and awdflash.exe utility from a
ICP web site to a temp directory on your hard drive, or directly to
the floppy you made in step 1..

3. Copy ( BIOS file and awdflash.exe )two files to the boot floppy.

4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the
boot diskette you just made.

55

5. At the DOS command prompt type , "awdflash filename.xxx",
where filename.xxx is the file name of the BIOS file . Hit enter.

6. Your first option, in sequence, will be to save the old BIOS. We
recommend that you do that in case, for whatever reason, you
decide you don't wish to use the new version once it is installed.
NOTES:
A. If you decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE make sure you do
NOT save it to the same file name as the new BIOS - if you use
the same BIOS name the old file will be written over the new file
with NO warning prompt. A simple file name to save the old BIOS
to is OLDBIOS.BIN.
B. If you do NOT decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE at least
write down the version number of the old BIOS and store that
information with your important computer documents. Enter N
(for "no") and skip to step 9.

7. To save the old BIOS, hit Y (for "yes")

8. Enter a name for the OLD BIOS file and hit enter.
NOTE:PLEASE be sure you do NOT save the old BIOS file to the
same file name as the new BI OS - if you use the same BIOS
name, the old file will write over the new BIOS file WITHOUT a
warning prompt. A simple file name for saving the old BIOS to is
OLDBIOS.BIN.

9. Your second option, in sequence, will be whether you want to
flash your BIOS. Enter Y (for "yes").
NOTE: This is the critical step. Once you kit the enter key, do
NOT touch the keyboard, the reset button, or power switch while
the flashing is in progress. There will be bar progressing across
the screen while the flashing is progressing.

10. When the flashing process is complete, you will be asked to
reset or power off the system. Remove the floppy diskette from
the floppy drive and either hit the reset button or the power button.

11. Reboot the system and note that the BIOS version on the

56

initial boot-up screen has changed to the new BIOS version. Your
BIOS upgrade is now complete.

Recovering Your Old BIOS:

1. Assuming you have the floppy made during the upgrade
procedure noted above, boot the system with that diskette in the
floppy drive. If you do not have floppy made during the upgrade
procedure noted above, you will need to repeat steps 1 though 3
(above) for the version of the BIOS you wish to recover to.

2. Complete steps 4, 5, 6B, 9, 10, and 11 (above) substituting the
name of the BIOS you wish to recover for the upgrade BIOS at
step 5.

Install screen :

57

Appendix D. Install memory modules

ICPMB-8650 has four dual in line memory module (DIMM) sockets . The
BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To ins tall the
memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket. The DIMM
module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can
vary between sockets.

ICPMB-8650 supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the
Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add
double up to 6.4GB/s.
ICPMB-8650 includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM
socket.

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the
following explanations due to the limitation of Intel® chipset
specifications.

1. Only one DDR memory module is installed: The Dual Channel
Technology can't operate when only one DDR memory module is
installed.

2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and
type): The Dual Channel Tec hnology will operate when two memory
modules are inserted individually into Channel A and B
