Hard Disk Connector
The on-board Enhanced IDE controller can support up to 4 IDE hard
drives or other ATAPI devices, such as CD-ROMs. This controller, as
with all Enhanced IDE controllers, consists of both Primary (IDE 1) and
Secondary (IDE 2) ports. Each port has an associated connector and
cable, which can support up to 2 ATAPI devices each.
All IDE devices have jumpers, which allow the user to configure the
device as either “Master” or “Slave”. A Master device is one that is
ALONE on the IDE cable, whereas a Slave device is installed as a
SECOND device on the same cable. Keep in mind that the Master device will
appear before the Slave device in the CMOS Setup, as well as the Operating
System software.
*Refer to the device
documentation for
Mainboard IDE Port
Slave Drive

connector on the cable is for Master drive, gray color is for Slave drive and blue
color is for connecting to IDE port onboard.
X-Wall IDE
The X-Wall IDE requires no device driver and is independent from and invisible to
all operating systems. As long as the driver is Ultra ATA 66/100/133 compliant,
X-Wall IDE will work in the system. Once authenticated, its operation is completely
transparent to all users who do not require managing usually seen complex
Graphical User’s Interface (GUI) of other solutions.
The X-Wall IDE comes with a pair of portable
device status and most importantly, the DES/TDES “Secret Key”. The X-Wall
Secure Key serves as an exclusive device for authentication from which the X-Wall
Secure Key must present itself to activate the X-Wall IDE.
The user can use X-WALL to proceed the data security. You can connect J22 to
any 6-pin 1394 connector, please refer to the following figure.
But if you connect J22 to the attached 1394 slot of the case, the 1394 cable of

* The Item Help column contains the description of selected item.
Date [mm:dd:yy]
The BIOS determines the day of the week from other date information. It is for
information only.
Time [hh:mm:ss]
The time format is <hour> <minute> <second>. The time is calculated based on the
24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.
IDE Primary Master/Primary Slave/Secondary Master/Secondary Slave
After pressing [Enter], a menu window appears as shown on below:
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information
about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM and SCSI drives.
18
* The Item Help column contains the description of selected item.
IDE HDD Auto-Detection
The “IDE HDD Auto-Detection” utility is a very useful tool especially when you do
not know the type of hard disk you are using. You can use this utility to detect the
correct disk type installed in the system automatically. The BIOS will automatically
detect the hard disk size and model during POST.
The Award BIOS supports 3
HDDmodes:NORMAL, LBA and LARGE modes. The
Generic access mode, neither BIOS nor IDE controller, will make transformations
during accessing.
NOTE: There must be some software involved to support LBA or LARGE
mode of HDDs. All the software needed is located in the Award
HDD Service Routine (INT 13h). It may fail to access a HDD with
LBA (LARGE) mode selected if you are running under an Operating
System, which replaces the whole INT 13h. UNIX operating system
do not support either LBA or LARGE, and must utilize the Standard
mode. UNIX can support drives larger than 528MB.
Under the AUTO Mode, the BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and
optimal operating mode of almost all IDE drives. When you select type Auto for a
hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications during POST, every time the system
boots.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SELECT THE TYPE AUTO FOR ALL DRIVES.
19
Drive A /Drive B [1.44M, 3.5 in.]
Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed on your system.
Video [EGA/VGA]
Select the type of primary video subsystem on your system. The BIOS usually
detects the correct video type automatically, and supports a secondary video
subsystem that cannot be selected in Setup.
Halt On [All, But Keyboard]
During the power-on self test (POST), the system stops if the BIOS detects a
hardware error. You can ask the BIOS to ignore certain errors and continue the
process. There are the options:
All Errors: If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST stops and
prompts you to take corrective action.
No Errors: POST does not stop for any error.
All, But Keyboard: POST does not stop for keyboard error, but stops for all
other errors.
All, But Diskette: POST does not stop for diskette drive errors, but stops for all
other errors.
All, But Disk/Key: POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk error, but stops for
all other errors.
Memory
You can not change the value in the Memory fields which are information only. The
setting item shows the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts
allocated to base memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory.
RAM is the computer’s working memory where the computer stores programs and
data currently being used, so they are accessible to CPU.
Base Memory: Typically 640 KB is also called conventional memory. The
DOS operating system and conventional applications use this
area.
Extended Memory: The memory is over the 1MB boundary.
Total Memory: Total memory available from the system.
20
4.3. Advanced BIOS Features
* The Item Help column contains the description of selected item.
Virus Warning [Disabled]
The BIOS will halt on the system. Then the warning message appears as follows if
there is virus.
!PBVA WARNING!
Paragon Boot Virus analyzer has
detected virus activity on hard disk
We recommend you to press:
[Enter] Boot from clean disk
[C] Continue Boot
NOTE: When this item is enabled, the monitoring boot sector virus only
happens at the booting period. After you enter the system, this
function is disabled automatically. So you can run any kind of
program, such as many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to
access boot sectors or the partition table of hard disk drive when it
is running.
CPU Internal/External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the
requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by
the CPU. Select Enabled to enable cache.
21
External Cache [Enabled]
The options are: Enabled and Disabled.
Quick Power On Self Test [Enabled]
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the POST. A quick
POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick POST.
Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.
Thiese setup fields determine which drive to be searched first, second or third for
the disk operating system (i.e. DOS). You can select your priority bootup drives as
Floppy drive A, IDE Hard Disk Drive C, D, E, F, or SCSI.
Swap Floppy Drive [Disabled]
This field is effective only in system with two floppy drives. This item allows you to
determine whether to enable the swap floppy drive or not (i.e. physical floppy disk
A assigned to logical drive B or physical drive B to logical drive A).
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Enabled]
During the “POST” process, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is
40 or 80 tracks. 360K-type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80
tracks. Because few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend that
you set this field to Disabled to save time.
Boot Up NumLock Status [On]
This field allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad. “On”:
keypad is number keys after boot up. “Off”: keypad is arrow keys after boot up.
Gate A20 Option [Fast]
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1MB (extended
memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to
Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting to Fast
improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
Typematic Rate Setting [Enabled]
Setting Enabled allows you to adjust both settings. You can use this feature to
accelerate cursor movement with the arrow keys. When this item is set Disabled,
keep holding down a key will let the system to use the default typematic rate delay
of 250 msec, and typematic rate of 6 chars/sec to input repeatedly.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) [6]
When “Typematic Rate Setting” is Enabled, its selections allow you to select the
rate at which character repeats when you hold down a key.
Typematic Delay (Msec) [250]
When “Typematic Rate Setting” is Enabled, its selections allow you to select the
22
delay before key strokes begin to repeat.

HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability [Disabled]
The options are: Enabled and Disabled.
Small Logo (EPA) Show [Enabled]
The options are: Enabled and Disabled.
4.4. Advanced Chipset Features
* The Item Help column contains the description of selected item.
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
23
communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be
stated that these items should never need to be altered.

4.7. PnP/PCI Configurations
* The Item Help column contains the description of selected item.
The PCI Personal Component Interconnect Bus was developed primarily to
address two important issues: (a) How to allow peripheral devices to take the fullest
advantage of the power of CPU technology, and (b) Provide a simpler installation
process for peripheral devices, such as Network cards, EIDE or SCSI controllers.
PCI accomplishes these goals with its 32-bit Data path Local Bus design, and
support for Plug&Play. Unlike older expansion bus architectures, PCI provides
peripherals with a direct connection to the CPU and memory. The PCI bus runs at
33Mhz and has a maximum transfer capability of 132MBps. With Plug & Play, the
system BIOS automatically determines hardware resources for new peripherals,
simplifying installation of multiple interface cards.
This Setup Menu provides configuration options for the PCI Bus and its assigned
resources.
Reset Configuration Data [Disabled]
Disabled: Normal Setting
Enabled: Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data
(ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new
add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a
serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot.

to "Auto". The BIOS will assign the interrupt resource
automatically.
IRQ Resources [Press Enter]
Pressing Enter will take you to the IRQ Resources setup screen that allows you to
assign each IRQ to a device. When the resources are controlled manually,
pressing Enter will take you to the IRQ Resources setup screen that allows you to
assign each system interrupt as a PCI device or reserve the IRQ, depending on the
type of device using the interrupt:

Use the following procedures for troubleshooting. If you have followed all of the
procedures below and still need assistance, contact your vendor or our Technical
Support staff.
NOTE: Before the over-click action, please make a system boot-up disk
that includes awdflash.exe and BIOS file, and add awdflash
xxxxxxxx.bin/sn/py/cc/r to autoexec.bat. on the disk. If over
clocking fails, the system will not be able to reboot and the floppy
disk drive may appear to be in action. When so occurs, insert the
disk mentioned above into the disk drive, and your computer will
shut down and successfully reboot on its own.
As the CPU is from over-clock to crashed status, please refer to the steps as
below:
Step 1: Power off the computer, and then remove the power cord.
Step 2: After one minute, plug the power cord back in.
Step 3: Press the “Insert” key before rebooting the mainboard power. Then
CPU will turn back to safety status.
When the floppy disk drive is working, but there is no video shown on the
screen -- there are two reasons may cause this situation:
1. As you operate AWDFLASH, the system is power off.
2. Sometimes this situation will happen--the CPU crashes from over-clocking.
In this time, you must follow the following steps to deal with it:
Step 1: Insert the boot-up disk of Note we mentioned above into the disk drive.
Step 2: Reboot your computer.
Before Power On
Step 1: Make sure there is no short circuit between the motherboard and case.
Step 2: Disconnect all the ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard.
Step 3: Remove all the add-on cards except the video graphics card (Make sure
the video/graphics card is inserted properly).
Step 4: Install a CPU, the chassis speaker and the power LED to the
motherboard (Check all the jumper settings as well).
Step 5: Install a memory module into one bank.
Step 6: Check the power supply voltage monitor 115 V/230 V switch.
No Power
Step 1: Make sure the default jumper is on and the CPU is correctly set up.
Step 2: Turn the power switch on and off to test system.
Step 3: If there’s still no power, turn it off and check change the jumper setting
again.
Step 4: If it does not help by changing the jumper setting, clear the CMOS data.
50
Step 5: Check the power supply voltage monitor, especially the power supply
115 V/230 V switch.
No Video
Use the following steps for troubleshooting your system configuration.
Step 1: If you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and cables.
Step 2: Check for shorted connections, especially under the motherboard.
Step 3: Check the jumpers’ settings, clock speed, and voltage settings.
Step 4: Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist.
