2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consists of
two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by
using a small plastic "cap", Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal
contact inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your
hardware configuration by "open" or "close" pins.
The jumper can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When
the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up
the hardware configuration. The figure below shows how this looks like.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3),
You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting by shorting. You can
either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper
diagrams are applied all through this manual. The figure below shows
what the manual diagrams look and what they represent.

3-8. WATCHDOG TIMER CONFIGURATION
The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex). 2E (hex)
is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port. User must first assign the
address of register by writing address value into address port 2E(hex), then
write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).
Configuration Sequence
There are three steps to completing the configuration setup:
(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode.
(2) Modify the data of configuration registers.
(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode.
Undesired result may occur if the MB PnP Mode is not exited normally.
(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode
To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations are to be
performed.
(2) Modify the data of configuration registers
All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the MB PnP Mode.
Before accessing a selected register, the content of index 07h must be
changed to the LDN to which the register belongs, except some Global
registers.
(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode
Set bit 1 of the configure control register (index=02h) to “1” to exit the MB
PnP Mode.

4-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PMB-601LF IntelCore 2 Duo ATX
Motherboard is equipped with the BIOS for system chipset from Phoenix Award Software Inc. This page briefly explains the function of the BIOS in
managing the special features of your system. The following pages describe
how to use the BIOS for system chipset Setup menu.
Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such
things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.
The operating system relies on the BIOS (Basic Input and Output system), a
program stored on a ROM (Read-only Memory) chip, to initialize and
configure your computer's hardware. As the interface between the hardware
and the operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic changes to
your system's hardware without having to write a new operating system.
The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between the
system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:

the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item.
DATE:
< Month >, < Date > and <Year >. Ranges for each value are in the CMOS
Setup Screen, and the week-day will skip automatically.
TIME:
< Hour >, < Minute >, and < Second >. Use 24 hour clock format, i.e., for PM
numbers, add 12 to the hour. For example: 4: 30 P.M. You should enter the
time as 16:30:00.
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating
mode of almost all SATA hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a
hard drive, the BIOS detect its specifications during POST, every time system
boots.
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting
drive type are available:
1. Match the specifications of your installed SATA hard drive(s) with
the preprogrammed values for hard drive types 1 through 45.
2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.
3. Use the SATA HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.
Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:
Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each
defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads,
write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors.
Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any predefine type are
classified as type USER.
•Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually
greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking
program.
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup
• Cyls: number of cylinders.
• Head: number of heads.
• Precomp: write precompensation cylinders.
• Landz: landing zone.
• Sector: number of sectors.
• Mode: Auto, Normal, Large or LBA.
Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.
Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, sectors
supported are 1024, 16 and 63.
Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more
than 1024 cylinders.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the

You may enable / disable this item to define whether the system will look for
a floppy disk drive to boot at power-on, or proceed directly to the hard disk
drive.
TYPEMATIC RATE SETTING:
Enable this item if you wish to be able to configure the characteristics of
your keyboard. Typematic refers to the way in which characters are entered
repeatedly if a key is held down. For example, if you press and hold down
the "A" key, the letter "a" will repeatedly appear on your screen on your
screen until you release the key. When enabled, the typematic rate and
typematic delay can be selected.

This parameter allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. The chipset manages bus speed and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache.
It also coordinates communications between 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 the system. The only time you might consider making
any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while
using your system.
DRAM TIMEING SELECTABLE:
The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed
memory chips (DRAM). Do not change the value from the factory setting
unless you install new memory that has a different performance rating than
the original DRAMs.

CAS LATENCY TIME:
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing.
DRAM RAS# TO CAS# DELAY:
This item let 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 choices are 2 and 3.
DRAM 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 choices are 2 & 3.
PRECHARGE DEALY (tRAS):
Precharge Delay This setting controls the precharge delay, which
determines the timing delay for DRAM precharge
SYSTEM MEMORY FREQUENCY:
Allow to choose different frequency of memory module.
MEMORY HOLE AT 15-16M:
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
PEG/ONCHIP VGA CONTROL:
