CP307/CP307-V BIOS Guide Starting BIOS Setup

1. Starting BIOS Setup

The CP307/CP307-V is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured ver­sion of AMI’s BIOS. This BIOS is based on the AMIBIOS®8 core which provides a variety of new and enhanced functions specifically tailored to the hardware features of the CP307/ CP307-V.
To take advantage of these functions, the BIOS comes with a setup program which provides quick and easy access to the individual function settings for control or modification of the BIOS configuration.
The setup program allows the accessing of various menus which provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific functions of their own. The individual menus and the config­urable functions are described in this guide.
To start the BIOS Setup program, follow the steps below:
STEP DESCRIPTION
1 Power on the board
2 Press the <Delete> key on your keyboard when the following text prompt appears:
Press DEL to run Setup
3 After pressing the <Delete> key, the CP307/CP307-V Main BIOS Setup screen is displayed. Access is
now available to all of the other setup screens by simply selecting the appropriate menu tab.
Note: The <Delete> key is normally used to start the BIOS Setup program. If the CP307/
CP307-V is connected to a terminal, use the <F4> key to start the BIOS Setup pro­gram.
ID 35978, Rev. 2.0 Page 3
Starting BIOS Setup CP307/CP307-V BIOS Guide

Main Setup Menu

The Main setup menu is the first screen that appears after starting the setup program.
At the top of this screen and all of the other major screens, there is a setup menu selection bar, which permits access to all of the other major setup menus. These menus are selected via the left-right arrow keys.
All setup menu screens have two main frames. The left frame displays all the functions that can be configured. They are displayed in blue. Functions displayed in gray provide information about the status or the operational configuration.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an function is selected in the left frame, it is displayed in white. Often a text message will accompany it..

Setup Default Override (SDO)

BIOS normally has to two types of default settings: Optimal and Fail-Safe, which can be loaded as required.
The BIOS provides functionality which permits overriding of the default settings for Optimal and Fail-Safe defaults for certain functions to be specified. This functionality is known as “Setup De­fault Override” and its usage is documented under the OEM Feature: Setup Default Configura­tion (SDO).
Functions for which the Optimal and Fail-Safe defaults can be overridden are indicated by the superscripted letters SDO after the function title: e.g. Remote Access

Configure SATA Channels

This function configures the BIOS logical drive order.
Note: This function is only available when the IDE Configuration is set to Enhanced.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
Before PATA Use this setting to specify that the SATA controller device's channels are enumerated as pri-
mary and slave channels and the PATA controller's channel is enumerated as third.
Behind PATA Use this setting to specify that the PATA controller channel is enumerated as primary and
the SATA controller's channels are enumerated as third and forth.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Before PATA

Hard Disk Drive Write Protect

This function is used to enable write protection for all hard disk drives in the system.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
Disabled Use this setting to allow the hard disk drive to be used normally. Read, write, and erase
functions can be performed to the hard disk drive.
Enabled Use this setting to prevent the hard disk drive from being erased.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Disabled

IDE Detect Timeout (Seconds)

This function is used to specify the number of seconds after which the BIOS stops searching for IDE devices. Basically, this allows you to fine-tune the settings to allow for faster boot times. Adjust this setting until a suitable timing that can detect all IDE disk drives attached is found.
Note: Different IDE disk drives take longer for the BIOS to locate than others do.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
0 This value is the best setting to use if the onboard IDE controllers are set to a specific IDE disk
drive in the AMIBIOS.
5 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within five sec-
onds. A large majority of ultra ATA hard disk drives can be detected well within five seconds.
10 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 10 seconds.
15 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 15 seconds.
20 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 20 seconds.
25 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 25 seconds.
30 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 30 seconds.
35 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 35 seconds.
This is the recommended setting when all IDE connectors are set to AUTO in the BIOS setting.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: 35

ATA (PI) 80-Pin Cable Detection

This function is used to select the method used to detect the ATA (PI) 80-pin cable.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
Host & Device Use this setting when both the motherboard onboard IDE controller and the IDE disk drive
are to be used to detect the type of IDE cable used.
Host Use this setting when the motherboard onboard IDE controller is to be used to detect the
type of IDE cable used.
Device Use this setting when the IDE disk drive is to be used to detect the type of IDE cable used.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Host & Device
The use of an 80-conductor ATA cable is mandatory for running Ultra ATA/66, Ultra ATA/100 and Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk drives. The standard 40-conductor ATA cable cannot handle the higher speeds.
The 80-conductor ATA cable is plug-compatible with the standard 40-conductor ATA cable. Be­cause of this, the system must determine the presence of the correct cable.
This detection is achieved via an open in the host connector in one of the lines on the 80-con­ductor ATA cable that is normally an unbroken connection in the standard 40-conductor ATA cable. It is this break that is used to make this determination. The BIOS can instruct the drive to run at the correct speed for the cable type detected.

SATA Speed Limit

This function limits the maximum Serial ATA transfer speed.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
No Limit Use this setting when the SATA transfer speed is to depend on the drive capability up to 3.0
Gbit/s.
GEN1 Rate Use this setting when the SATA transfer speed is to be limited to 1.5 Gbit/s (GEN1 Rate).
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings on CP307-V and the CP307 vers. without rear I/O: No Limit Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings on the CP307 version with rear I/O: GEN1 Rate
