Introducing BIOS
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS
program will gain control. The BIOS first operates an aut o - di a gnostic test called POST (power
on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and
configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are
completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the
BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for
system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short
description of the function keys you may use here:
• Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
15
• Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want
to confirm or to modify.
• Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these
parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
• Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters
for the active option.
3-1 Entering Setup
Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system
case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If
you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message
will be displayed and you will again be asked to
Press <F1> to continue, or <Del> to enter Setup
3-2 Getting Help
Main Menu
The on-line description of the highlighted setup function is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
Status Page Setup Menu/Option Page Setup Menu
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window, press <Esc>.
3-3 The Main Menu
Once you enter Award® BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear
on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two
16
exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter
the sub-menu.

Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The two IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of
the two IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide
successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the
best mode for each device. The settings are: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode
4.
26
Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the
operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus
master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA133,
select Auto to enable BIOS support. The settings are: Auto, Disabled.
IDE DMA Transfer Access
The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for one IDE
channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel separately. The settings are: Enabled and
Disabled.
IDE HDD Block Mode
Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write.
If your IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for
automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can
support. The settings are: Enabled, Disabled.
SATA Function
This item allows you to control Serial ATA controller by setting it as Enabled or Disabled.

UART2 Mode Select
This item allows you to determine which InfraRed(IR) function of the onboard I/O chip. The
optional settings are Normal and IrDA.
IrDA Duplex Mode
This field is available when UART Mode is set to either ASKIR or IrDA. This item enables you
to determine the infrared function of the onboard infrared chip. The options are Full and Half
28
(default). Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simultaneously.
Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both directions, but only one direction at a time.
Onboard Parallel Port
The optional settings are: Disabled, 378/IRQ7, 278/IRQ5 and 3BC/IRQ7.
Parallel Port Mode
SPP : Standard Parallel Port
ECP : Enhanced Com Port
EPP : Enhanced Parallel Port
SPP/ ECP +EPP 1.7/ EPP 1.9
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate
the onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”,
the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP+EPP” will allow the
onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode
has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After
selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA” at this time, the user can
choose between DMA channels 3 to 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so
after the user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will
be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9
spec. can be chosen.
Watchdog Timer Select
This item is used to activate the watchdog function. The optional settings are: Enabled; Disabled.
When set it as Enabled user can choose configuration figures in subitems.

3-12 Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences are:
Supervisor password: Can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
User password: Can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the
setup menus. When you select this function, the following message
will appear at the 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>. The password typed now
will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm
the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort
the selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A
message will confirm that the password will be disabled. 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 person from changing any part of your system
configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password
every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its
Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at
boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
