Menu Level ¾

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

SAGP-815EV Socket 370 base SBC

With 10/100Mpbs Ethernet , VGA , Audio

37

need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they
provide the best operating conditions for your system.

DRAM Settings

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.

SDRAM CAS Latency Time

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing.
The Choice: 2, 3

SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc

Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.

The Choice: 5/7, 6/8.

SDRAM 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.

SDRAM RAS Precharge Time

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.

System BIOS Cacheable

Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h­FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Video BIOS Cacheable

Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS , resulting in better
system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory
area, a system error may result.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Memory Hole At 15M -16M

You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM.
When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of
peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually
discusses their memory requirements.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

CPU Latency Timer

Enabled :CPU cycle will only be Deferred after in has been in a “Snoop
Stall” for 31 clocks and another ADS# has arrived.

Disabled: CPU cycle will only be Deferred immediately after the GMCH
receives another ADS#.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Delay Transaction

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for
optimal performance system operations.

4.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:

supervisor password :
can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

user password :
just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the
set up me nus. When y ou sele ct t his f unction, t he follo wing message will
appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSW ORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>.
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the

password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort
the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be
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.

4.15 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.

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 halt . 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.

Appendix C. How to Upgrade a New
BIOS

You can install an upgrade BIOS for the SAGP-815EV that you can
download from the manufacturer’s web site (
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 MS-DOS
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 f iles will be transferred, only COMMAND.COM
being visi ble when running a simple directo ry 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.

http://www.ieiworld.com ).

59

5. At the DOS command prompt type , "awdflash filename.xxx",
where f ilename.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 BIOS - 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.

60

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 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.
