AWARD BIOS SETUP

Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a batterybacked CMOS RAM so data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless here is configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed.

It is possible that CMOS had a battery failure which cause data lose in CMOS_RAM. If so, re_enter system configuration parameters become necessary.

To enter Setup Program Power on the computer and press <Del> key immediately will bring you into BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY.

3-3 CHIPSET FEATURES 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. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.

The choice: Power off, Suspend, Disabled.

• PM Timers : The following four modes are Green PC power saving functions which are only user configurable when User Defined Power Management has been selected. See above for available selections.

• HDD Off After : By default, this item is Disabled, meaning that no matter the mode the rest of the system, the hard drive will remain ready. Otherwise, you have a range of choices from 1 to 15 minutes or Suspend. This means that you can elect to have your hard disk drive be turned off after a selected number of minutes or when the rest of the system goes into a Suspend mode.

• HDD Ports Activity : When set to On (default), any event occurring at a HDD (serial) port will awaken a system which has been powered down.

• COM Ports Activity : When set to On (default), any event occurring at a hard or floppy drive port will awaken a system which has been powered down.

• LPT Ports Activity : W hen set to On (default), any event occurring at a LPT (printer) port will awaken a system which has been powered down.

• VGA Activity : When set to On (default), any event occurring at VGA will awaken a system which has been powered down.

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.

As above, the choices are On and Off. When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management

mode nor awaken it.

• IRQ [ 3-7, 9-15], NMI

• IRQ 8 Break Suspend : You can Enable or Disable monitoring of IRQ8 (the Real Time

Clock) so it does not awaken the system from Suspend mode.

• KB Power ON Password : When you set a password for keyboard, The password you

set the keyboard that returns the system to Full On state.

• Power Button Over Ride : You could press the power button for more than 4 seconds

forces the system to enter the Soft-Off state when the system has “hung.”

The choice: Soft-Off, Delay 4 Sec.

• Ring Power Up Control : When you select Enabled, a signal from ring returns the

system to Full On state.

• Power Up by Alarm : When you select Enabled, the following fields appear. They let you

set the alarm that returns the system to Full On state.

The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

The 4 Speakers System

This Audio Adapter provides 2 wave channels(front/rear), known as the 4 speakers system. When games or application programs via DirectSound® 3D or A3D® interface locate the sound sources to the listener's back, the two rear speakers will work to enhance the rear audio positional effect, so as to complement the insufficiency of using only two front speakers to emulate the audio effect. The following is the hardware installation and the software setups:

1. The speaker installation.

Connect the front pair speakers to the Line-out jack of the audio adapter, and then connect rear pair speakers to Line-in/Rear jack of the audio adapter. The original Line-in can be moved to Aux-in.

2. The positions of the speakers

Put your speakers the way the following picture suggests, so as to avail yourself to the best audio result.

3. The mixer setup

There is a 4 speakers option in the volume control of the mixer, and when you enable this option, it means the rear speakers are connected to Line-in/Rear jack. When Line-in/Rear jack is connected to other external Line-in sources, please DO NOT enable this option in order to avoid hardware conflicts. Regarding rear speaker option, you can turn on or turn off the output of the back speakers, and adjust the volume, to have the rear/front speakers have the same volume.

4.The demo

Execute the "Helicopter" demo within the C3D HRTF Positional Audio Demos of this audio adapter. When the helicopter flies behind you, the rear speakers will work.
