AWARD BIOS Setup
The SSC-5x86H uses the AWARD PCI/ISA BIOS for system
configuration. The AWARD BIOS setup program is designed to
provide maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offering
various options which may be selected for end-user requirements.
This chapter is written to assist you in the proper usage of these
features.
4.1 Getting Start
When powered on the system, the BIOS will enter the Power-OnSelf-Test routines. These routines will be executed for System Test
and Initialization and System Configuration Verification. After the
POST routines are completed, the following message appears :
" Press DEL to enter setup"
To access AWARD PCI/ISA BIOS Setup program, press <Del> key.
The following screen will be displayed at this time.

have to change any default setting.The default setting is pre-setted
for most reliable operation.
Virus Waring :
Enable - Will halt system when any attempt to
write to boot sector or patition table of hard disk.
Memory Parity Check :
Disable - Will not check the DRAM module‘s parity. Right now
almost 72-pin SIMM DRAM did not have parity function.
Video BIOS Shadow :
Enable - Will increase the video speed.
C8000-CFFFF,D0000-D7FFF,& D8000-DFFFF Shadow :
When the installed add-on card‘s ROM address is as
21
above address,you could enable the shadow to get higher
operation performance.When you enable the shadow
function,it will also reduce the memory available by between
640KB and 1024KB.
4.4 Chipset Features Setup
This setup functions are almostly working for ChipSet(ALI M1489 and
M1487). These options are used to change the ChipSet‘s registers. Please
carefully change any default setting ,otherwise the system could be running
un-stable.

This is the master control of all power management functions.
The default setting is “disable” for general application.
User Defined : Allows user to set any power saving options.
Min. Saving : System enters power saving mode after
1 hour no activity.
Max. Saving : System enters power saving mode after
5 seconds no activity.
PM Control by APM :
No - Default setting
Yes - System BIOS will wait for APM prompt before it enters
any power management mode.
Note : APM Mode :
This mode is using for DOS 6.0 or higher version with
the driver POWER.EXE. The driver should be loaded
at system power-on by CONFIG.SYS file. POWER.EXE
will monitor the system status thru the BIOS APM
interface.
Video Off Option :
Susp,Stby ¡÷ Off - Screen Off when system in Suspend or
Standby mode.
Susp ¡÷ Off - Screen Off when system in Suspend mode.
All Modes ¡÷ Off - Screen Off when system in Suspend,
Standby,or Doze mode.
Alway On - System BIOS will never turn off the screen.
Video Off Method :
Blank Screen : When BIOS do the video off the screen
will be blank.
V/H Sync, + Blank : When BIOS do the video off,BIOS will turn
of the V-sync & H-sync signals from VGA
24
card and also let the screen blank.
PM Timers :
User can set the HDD Power Down,Doze Mode,Standby Mode,
and Suspend Mode‘s time out period. The system will be
recovered when the system is re-activity.
PM Events :
If there is any activity occured on the list of the group,the
system will wake up. You can set the IRQ1,IRQ3-15
individually in the list.
Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer
The Watch-Dog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone
systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that
caused 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.
The Watch-Dog Timer is controlled by two I/O ports.
443
ReadEnable the refresh the Watch-Dog Timer.
(hex)
043
ReadDisable the Watch-Dog Timer.
(hex)
To enable the Watch-Dog Timer, a read from I/O port 443H must
be performed. This will enable and activate the countdown timer
which will eventually time out and either reset the CPU or cause an
NMI depending on the setting of JP15. To ensure that this reset
condition does not occur, the Watch-Dog Timer must be
periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 433H. This
must be done within the time out period that is selected by jumper
group JP16.
A tolerance of at least 30% must be maintained to avoid unknown
routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that
can be very time consuming. Therefore if the time out period has
25
been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7
seconds.
Note: when exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watch-
Dog Timer, otherwise the system will reset.
