Section 3 System Setup

This section provides the information for the system setup procedure and also briefs the setup procedures for system BIOS.

3-1 SYSTEM SETUP

The system BIOS supports an internal ROM-based system setup utility. When the first time you power up the system, the system CMOS memory contains incorrect configuration information and the BIOS prompts you to get into the SETUP utility. The system requires correct configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. The SETUP utility will guide you to properly configure the system in a simple and straightforward way. A typical setup procedure is as follows:

1. Properly install the system. A basic system should include at least

- the SQ599 motherboard with CPU and cooler installed

- a standard AT case with power supply

- an AT compatible keyboard

- the floppy driver and hard disk

- the monitor

- minimum one SIMM module with total 8MB memory

2. Turn the system power on.

3. The system BIOS will run Power-On-Self-Test(POST). When the test is

completed, the system prompts you to go through the system SETUP utility. You can ignore the prompt if system setup has been configured correctly.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the SETUP utility to

- Set Date and Time

- Select correct floppy disk type and number

- Select correct hard disk type and number

- Set the advanced features if necessary

5. Exit the SETUP utility when done

6. System starts to reboot.

SQ599

7. The system should have correct configuration information by now and should have no problem booting up the operating system from floppy or hard disk. If not, check the peripheral types, memory size and connections and go through the SETUP utility again.

3-2 PCI Device Setup

PCI device setup allows user to allocate IRQs and specify IRQ's sensitivity for PCI and ISA devices. Follow the on-screen setup instructions and refer to the manual provided with the PCI device for proper installation.

stop and you will prompt. All errors The system boot will not stop for any error that may detect. All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will

stop for all other errors. All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for

all other errors. All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it

will stop for all other errors.

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically

SQ599

512K for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K or more memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.

Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM. Total Memory System total memory is the sum of basic memory, extended memory, and other memory.

When the BIOS encounters an error that requires the user to correct something, either a beep code will sound or a message will be displayed in a box in the middle of the screen and the message PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP will be shown in the information box at the bottom.

POST Beep

Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. The one code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by three short beeps. The other one code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.

Error Messages

One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST. This list indicates the error messages for all Award BIOSes:

CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED

CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
