is designed based on SIS P5 A.G.P./ VGA chipset, “SIS 530 & SIS5595,” which
provides a high-performance/cost index desktop solution for the Intel® Pentium®
P54C/P55C. AMD® K5/K6/K6-2(K6-3 is under test), Cyrix® M1/6x86L/MX/MII/, and
other compatible Pentium® processors with 3D A.G.P. VGA system.

H/W 3D VGA controller adopts 64-bit 100MHz host bus speed and shares 2MB,
4MB, or 8MB from frame buffer memory with system which improves the
performance eminently.

5S530 especially adopts ESS SOLO-1™ PCI AudioDrive® with a single chip PCI
audio solution, providing high-quality audio processing while maintaining full
legacy DOS game compatibilty. With a dynamic range over 80dB, the SOLO-1
complies with the Microsoft® PC97/PC98 specifications and meets WHQL audio
requirements. The SOLO-1 incorporates a microprocessor, ESFM™ music
synthesizer, 3D stereo processor, 16-bit stereo wave ADC and DAC, 16-bit stereo
music DAC, MPU-401 UART mode serial port, dual game port, H/W master
volume control, a serial port interface to external wavetable music synthesizer,
DMA control logic with FIFO, and PCI bus interface logic. There are three stereo
inputs (typically line-in, CD audio and auxiliary) and a mono microphone input.
The SOLO-1 can record, compress, and play back voice, sound and music built-in
mixer controls.

The integrated

also implements high performance I/O Controller utilizes with fully Plug

utility is a very useful tool especially
when you do not know which kind of hard disk type you a re using. You c an use
this utility to detect the correct disk type installed in the system automatically or
you can set hard disk type to auto in the standard CMOS setup. You don't need the

"IDE HDD Auto Detection"

utility. The BIOS will auto-detect the hard disk size

and model on display during post.

Note: Some OSes (like SCO-UNIX) must use “NORMAL” for installation.

SIS530 Main Board 62

5S530

The Award® BIOS supports 3 HDD modes:

1. Normal mode

Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make
any transformations during accessing.

The maximum number of cylinders, head & sectors for normal mode are

& 63.

No. Cylinder (1024)
X No. Head (16)
X No. Sector (63)
X No. Per Sector (512)
528 MB

If user set this HDD to normal mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be
528 MB even though its physical size may be greater than that!

2. LBA (Logical Block Addressing) Mode

A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 MB bottleneck. The number
of cylinders, heads & sectors shown in setup may not be the number physically
contained in the HDD. During HDD accessing, the ide controller will transform
the logical address described by sector, head & cylinder into its own physical
address inside the HDD.

NORMAL, LBA & LARGE.

1024, 16

The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 GB which is obtained by
the following formula:

No. Cylinder (1024)
X No. Head (255)
X No. Sector (63)
X No. Bytes Per Sector (512)

8.4 GB

SIS530 Main Board 63

5S530

3. Large Mode

Extended HDD access mode supported by Award® software. Some IDE HDDs
contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in some cases, user do not
want LBA). The Award® BIOS provides another alternative to support these
kinds of large mode:

Cyls. Head Sector Mode
1120 16 59 NORMAL
560 32 59 LARGE

BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) that the number of cylinders is less than 1024 by
dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2. A
reverse transformation process will be made inside int 12h in order to access the
right HDD address the right HDD address!

4. Ma ximum HDD Size:

Chapter 5 Q & A

5-1 Errors Messages During Power On Self Test

During power on self test (post), BIOS will automatically detect the system
devices. Below is the questions that users may always meet. The user may press
“Esc” key to skip the full memory test.

Beep sound

1.

On power on, the system make beep sound to offer different messages. If the
system is configured correctly, it prompts a short beep to show correct the devices
configuration is done correctly. When VGA card and DIMM modules are not
plugged well, the system makes longer and constant beep sounds.

BIOS ROM checksum error

2.

It indicates the checksum of the BIOS code is not right and system will always halt
on power on screen. Contact the dealer to exchange a new BIOS.

CMOS battery fails

3.

It indicates the CMOS battery does not work. Contact the dealer to exchange a
new battery.

CMOS checksum error

4.

It indicates the CMOS checksum is incorrect. Load the default values in BIOS to
solve this problem. This error may result from a weak BIOS, so exchange a new
BIOS if necessary.

Hard disk initialize

5.

Please wait a moment…

Some hard drives require more time to initialize.

SIS530 Main Board 77

5S530

6. Hard disk install failure

The system can not find or initialize the hard drive controller or the drive. Check
if the controller is set correctly. If no hard disk is installed,

selection”

7.

This means the system can not initialize the keyboard. Check if the keyboard is
plugged well and be sure no keys are pressed dur i ng power on self test.

8.

Normally when this message comes out, check if there is anything mis-placed on
the keyboard. Be sure nothing touches the keys.

9.

There will be more information to specify the type and location of the memory
error.

10.

The BIOS find an error in the primary master hard disk drive.

must be set to

Keyboard error or no keyboard present

Keyboard is lock out- Unlock the key

Memory test fails

Primary master hard disk fail

“none.”

“Hard drive

11.

Primary slave hard disk fail

The BIOS finds an error in the primary slave hard disk drive.

12.

Secondary master hard disk fail

The BIOS finds an error in the secondary slave master hard disk drive.

13.

Secondary slave hard disk fail

The BIOS finds an error in the secondary slave IDE hard disk drive.

5-2 Limitation on SIS530 VGA Hardware

This section is provided by Silicon Integrated Systems Corp., informing SIS530
VGA design limitation. As been advised, the limitation occurs from different
design rules or from that hardware design does not support. Hence, under certain
software or program tests, they may fail or error message appears.

Winbench 98 test:

1. 3D Winbench 98: 3D Quality #25, #26 tests not capable
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support Fog Table function.

2. 3D Winbench 98: 3D Quality #36 test fail.
Reason: SiS530 does not support anti-aliasing function.

3. 3D Winbench 98: 3D Quality #39 test fail.
Reason: SiS530 only supports 16-bit Z- buffer, which is not enough to perform
non-texture perspective.

Winbench 99 test

1. 3D Winbench 99: 3D Quality #36, #57, #58 tests fail.
Reason: SiS530 only supports texture perspective, so it fails in testing non-texture
perspective.

2. 3D Winbench 99: 3D Quality #47, #59 tests fail.
Reason: SiS530 only supports 16-bit Z- buffer. This is not enough to perform
non-texture perspective.

3. 3D Winbench 99: 3D Quality #48 test fail.
Reason: SiS530 uses different fill rule with Microsoft®. It fails in test, but has no
problem is normal operation.

SIS530 Main Board 79

5S530

4. 3D Winbench 99: 3D Quality #12 test not capable
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support Mipmap LOD Bias function.

5. 3D Winbench 99: 3D Quality #26, #27 tests not capable
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support FOG Table function.

6. 3D Winbench 99: 3D Quality #46 test fail.
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support Z Bias function.

DCT 100 test

1. DCT 100: D3D Blend Alpha on 4 sub-tests test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support SRCCOLOR & INVSRCCOLOR for texture
source blend and DESTCOLOR & INVDESTCOLOR for texture destination
blend function.

2. DCT 100: PC98#24 test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support SRCCOLOR & INVSRCCOLOR for texture
source blend function.

3. DCT 100: PC98#25 test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support BLEND-ADD for texture blend function.

4. DCT 100: PC98#26 test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support PALETTE texture format.

5. DCT 100: PC98#27 test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support texture size larger than 512*512 pixels.

6. DCT 100: PC98#28 test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support SRCCOLOR & INVSRCCOLOR for texture
destination blend function.

SIS530 Main Board 80

7. DCT 100: PC98#28 test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support PALETTE texture format.

8. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Blend-Decal test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support this function.

9. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Blend-Modulatel Mask test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support this function.

10. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Blend-ADD test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support this function.

11. DCT 100: Beta Preview\W Compare test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support WBUFFER.

12. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Compressed texture test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support compressed texture.

13. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Stencil test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support Stencil function.

5S530

14. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Alpha Palette fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support this function.

15. DCT 100: Beta Preview\Bald test fail
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support bump mapping function.

Other conditions

1. Game: “Incoming,” “Motlcross Madne ss”. e g: the smoke when fire gun o r the
dust when driving car is blocky.
Reason: When the blinear filter function is enabled, the pixel will be transparent
whenever either of the four around pixels is transsparent.

2. Game “Outlaws,” “Forsaken,” “Jedi Knight.” eg.. Pixelization in these games
Reason: SiS530 doesn’t support anti-aliasing, so the edge of 3D mesh will not be
very smooth.

3. “Final Reality,” “Incoming,” eg. Font or logo distortion
Reason: These fonts and logo are textures. On texture perspective correct, SiS530
will cause a little bit of distortion.

4. In shared frame buffer, the snow appears when playing AVI files and
recording audio files with Creative 137x audio.
Reason: In shared frame buffer mode, SiS530 must provide the pre-emptive
mechanism to guarantee the minimum bandwith for GUI’s CRT refreshing the
display by requesting resource. Under the strategy, SiS530 will induce a limitation
of memory bandwith. Some PCI cards with low performance on PCI interface, it
would insert more wait state to lengthen the transaction time. They will violate the
limitation of memory bandwith on SiS530 shared frame buffer mode and cause
the screen to appear snow.
