4. AMI BIOS SETUP

4.1 Introduction

AMI Setup program is built into the ROM BIOS. The program enables users to modify basic system configuration. The information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

4.2 Starting Setup

AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first boot up the computer. BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configures it. When the process is completed, BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and launch and pass the control over to the operating system.

While BIOS is in charge, the Setup program can be activated in one of the following ways:

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

2. By pressing <Del> when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST.

Press DEL to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still want to enter Setup, press the “RESET” button on the chassis or turn off the power and restart the system, then you can try again. You may also restart the system by pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys simultaneously. If you do not press the keys at the correct moment and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to:

Press F2 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

4.3 Using Setup

Use arrow keys to highlight the options and press <Enter> to select. To change the entries, use the PageUp and PageDown. Press <F1> for help or <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more details on how to navigate the Setup program using the keyboard.

Up arrow Move to previous option

Down arrow Move to next option

Left arrow Move to the option on the left column

Right arrow Move to the option on the right column

Esc key Main Menu -- Quit and not save changes into CMOS

Status Page Setup Menu and Option Page Setup

+ key Increase the numeric value or make changes

- key Decrease the numeric value or make changes

F1 key General help, only for Status Page Setup Menu and

Option Page Setup Menu

F2 /F3 key Change color from total 16 colors. F2 to select color

forward, F3 to select color backward.

F4 key Reserved F5 key Reserved F6 key Reserved F7 key Reserved F8 key Reserved F9 key Reserved

F10 key Save all CMOS changes, only for Main M enu.

4.4 Getting Help

Press F1, a help window will pop up to describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer is no longer able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which can reset your system to its defaults.

The best advice is to alter only the settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend not to make any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMI and the system manufacturer to provide the optimum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly little change to the chipset setup may shut the system down and need the override program to reset it.

4.5 Main Menu

Once you enter the AMIBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, t he Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the option and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu. Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries.

Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings

Use this menu to load the BIOS factory settings for optimal system performance. While AMI has been designed the custom BIOS to optimize performance, the factory has the right to change these defaults to meet its needs.

Auto Configuration with Fail-Safe Settings

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the safe and stable system performance.

Save Settings and Exit

Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.

Exit Without Saving

Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup.

4.6 Standard CMOS Setup

The options in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into 10 categories. Each category includes none, one or more than one setup options. Use the arrow keys to highlight the option and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want for each option.

4.8 Advanced Chipset Setup

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.

CPU Frequency

This field displays the capability of the CPU modules that you are using either H/W TRAP, 100MHz, 133MHz(MAX.), The CPU Frequency of 100/133Mhz = (FSB Frequency of 400/533Mhz respectively).

CPU / DRAM Frequency Ratio

This setting is decided by CPU and DRAM frequency ratio, e.g. Having CPU’s frequency=133Mhz(FSB=533Mhz) and DDR333 SDRAM.

When you should set the” CPU/DRAM Frequency Ratio” to [4:5] If CPU Frequency = 133Mhz(FSB=533Mhz).

CPU / DRAM Frequency Ratio = [4:5] When DRAM Frequency = 133*5/4=166Mhz, that is DDR333 (166X2)

DRAM Frequency

This field displays the capability of the memory modules that you are using either H/W TRAP, 100MHz, 133MHz, 166MHz (MAX).

The DRAM Frequency of 100/133/166Mhz = (DDR Frequency of 200/266/333Mhz respectively)

DRAM CAS# Latency

This controls the latency between the SDRAM read command and the time that the data actually becomes available.

HYPER THREADING CPU SUPPORT

This setting is to enable or disable hyper threading CPU support.

Power Management

When Disabled, SMI will not be initialized, and complete power management functionality is removed until this option is set to Enabled.

Suspend Time Out

If no activity occurs during this time period, the BIOS will configure the system to low power state. The ''Standby Time Out'' period must expire first (if enabled) before this time out period begins.

Hard Disk Time Out

If no disk activity occurs for, this time period, the BIOS will put the hard disk, device(s) into low power mode.

RTC Alarm Resume From Soft Off

When this option is set enabled, system will according to you set time then wakeup from soft off mode.

Resume on Modem Ring

Modem Ring resumes from Soft Off.

4.10 PCI / Plug and Play Setup

Plug and Play Aware O/S

When being enabled, BIOS will configure only PnP ISA boot devices (i.e. all PnP ISA cards which has boot flag set). And PnP aware OS will configure all other devices. When being disabled, BIOS will configure all devices.

PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)

This option specifies the latency timings (in PCI clocks) for PCI devices installed in the PCI expansion slots. The settings are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, or 248.

This setting is to select primary graphic by PCI or AGP Adapter.

Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA

Set this option to Yes to allocate an IRQ to the VGA device on the PCI bus. The settings are Yes or No.

OffBoard PCI IDE Card

This question is needed for off-board non-compliant PCI IDE card. If present, BIOS needs to know which slot it is in and how the IRQ is used by the card.

OffBoard PCI IDE Primary IRQ

This option specifies the PCI interrupt used by the primary IDE channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller. The settings are Disabled, Hardwired, INTA, INTB, INTC, or INTD.

OffBoard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ

This option specifies the PCI interrupt used by the secondary IDE channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller. The settings are Disabled, Hardwired, INTA, INTB, INTC, or INTD.

DMA Channel 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7

The option allows you to specify the bus type used by each DMA channel. The settings are PnP or ISA/EISA.

IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11

The option specifies the bus that the specified IRQ line is used on. The option allows you to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. The option determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use the option to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP.

4.11 Peripheral Setup

Peripheral Setup enables users to configure the system to the most effectively power saving mode while operating in a consistent manner with your own style of computer use.

4.12 Hardware Monitor Setup

4.13 Change Supervisor Password

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

Supervisor password:

To enter and change the settings of the setup menus.

User password:

To only access the setup menus, but can’t change anything of it. When you select this option, the following message will appear at th e center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. Previous password will then be cleared from CM OS memory. You will be prompted to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. To abort the selection, press <Esc>.

To disable a password, press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. Confirm to disable the password. 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 user from changing any bit of your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the system is booting. This would prevent unauthorized uses of your computer. The user can determine whether the password is needed for entering BIOS Setup Program or other Security options (see Section 4.5). Once the Password has been set, users will be prompted to enter the password when entering the Setup Menu.

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS; it allows users to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that Setup information is retained whilst the power is off.

Appendix A: Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause CPU crash, e.g. external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working properly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to resume the system 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 period BL: Time-out value (the time unit—second or

minute, is dependent on the Watchdog Timer unit selected in BIOS 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, Watchdog Timer will start counting down. When the timer value reaches zero, the system will reset. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, Watchdog Timer must be periodically refreshed by calling sub-function 2. However, 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 timeconsuming.

Note: When exiting a program, it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer. Otherwise the system will reset.

Example program:

; INITIAL TIMER PERIOD COUNTER

;

W_LOOP:

MOV AX, 6F02H ;setting the time-out value MOV BL, 30 ;time-out value is 48 seconds INT 15H ;

; ADD YOUR APPLICATION PROGRAM HERE

; CMP EXIT_AP, 1 ;is your application over? JNE W_LOOP ;No, restart your application

MOV AX, 6F02H ;disable Watchdog Timer MOV BL, 0 ; INT 15H ;

; EXIT

Appendix C: Wake-up Function

How to Use Wake-up Function

SAGP-648E provides two kinds of Wake-Up Function. This page describes how to use the Modem Wake-Up and LAN Wake-Up functions. Wake-Up function works when ATX power supply is in use.

Wake-Up By Modem Ring On:

In CMOS SETUP, the user must set Resume On Modem Ring status to Enabled. The ATX power supply will be switched on when there is a ring signal det ected on the pin “RI” of the serial port.

Wake-Up On LAN:

When the computer is in power-down status, a LAN Link/Active LED is flashing. This status indicates that the LAN chip has entered standby mode and is waiting for a Wake-Up signal. You can use other computers to wake up your computer by sending ID to it.

ID: ID is the address of your system LAN. Every LAN chip has a factory default ID, which can be found from network information in WINDOWS.

ID’s format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx Example ID: 00905C21D4

Appendix D: Digital I/O

One of the characteristics of digital circuit is its fast response to high or low signal. This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and critical industrial operating environment. SAGP-648E is designed with 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs.

There are two kinds of signals (Input and Output) used by the Digital I/O function. These signals are used to control external devices that need On/Off circuit or TTL devices. When one of the signals has been selected, the user can read or write data to the system through the Digital I/O function.

A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Digital I/O Function:

INT 15H:

AH – 6FH

Sub-function:

AL – 8: Set the Digital port as INPUT AL: Digital I/O input value

Example program:

MOV AX, 6F08H ;setting the Digital port is input INT 15H ;

AL low byte = value

AH – 6FH

Sub-function:

AL – 9: Set the Digital port as OUTPUT BL: Digital I/O output value

Example program:

MOV AX, 6F09H ;setting the Digital port is output MOV BL, 09H ;Digital value is 09H INT 15H ;

Digital Output is 1001b

Appendix E: Creating/Deleting SATA Raid Sets

Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in the BIOS. During boot-up, the following message will appear, pausing for a few moments to allow t he user to choose what to do:

Press <CRTL-S> or F4 to enter RAID utility. An easy-to-use screen will appear with the following choices in the top left:

Create RAID Set Delete RAID Set Rebuild RAID Set Resolve Conflicts

Below this will be listed the drives currently installed on the sy stem. The top right half of the screen displays directions and comments for the user.

The bottom right half lists the command keys: Arrows up and down are Select Keys

ESC takes the user to the previous menu Enter selects the user’s choice Ctrl-E exits the utility

Creating RAID Sets

SATA Raid supports two drives, which makes it simple to create RAID Sets.

1. Select “Create RAID Set.”

2. Choose either a “Striped” or “Mirrored” RAID Set.

3. Select if you want the utility to Auto Configure the RAID Set or if you want to manually configure the RAID Set. For Striped Sets, you can change the chunk size. For Mirrored Sets, you assign which is the Source and Target drives, as well as if you want Disk Copy.

What is Disk Copy? If the disk assigned as the source disk already has been partitioned with data

stored on it, and a second disk is added for redundancy, the data on the source drive can be copied to the destination drive. The disks are identical, and all subsequent data will be written to both drives as a Mirrored set. However, if the source disk does not have data stored on it, there is no need to perform Disk Copy. The utility will ask “Are You Sure?” bef ore completing the configuration.

Deleting RAID Sets

1. To remove one or more RAID sets, select “Delete RAID Set”.

2. Select the desired RAID set and press Y when your are asked “Are You Sure?”

Resolving Conflict

When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk will include drive connection information (Primary Channel, Secondary Channel). In case of a disk failure, the replacement disk, which was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), may have conflicting metadata, specifically in reference to the drive connection information. This will prohibit the RAID set from being created or rebuilt. For the RAID set to function properly, old metadata must be first overwritten with new metadata. To resolve this, select “Resolve Conflict” and choose the correct metadata, including the correct drive connection information that will be written to the replacement disk.
