Chapter 5

The SETUP Program

This chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SETUP program.

Introduction

The SETUP program allows you to enter the system configuration information.
This information is needed by the system to identify the type of devices installed
and to set up special features.

The configuration information is stored in a special kind of memory called CMOS
(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) RAM. CMOS RAM data are
backed up by a RTC backup battery, so the data will not be lost when system
power is turned off.

You need to run SETUP when:

 You see an error message on the screen requesting you to run SETUP.

 You want to update the configuration information for new hardware installed.

 You want to change factory default settings for some special features.

Starting SETUP

NOTE: The SETUP program may have been updated after this manual
was published.

SETUP is built into the system board. To access the SETUP program, turn on
the system and press [Del] immediately when you see the message that briefly
appears at the bottom of the screen telling you how to enter SETUP.

The first SETUP menu (main menu) allows you to select from eleven setup
categories and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items
and press [Enter] to accept and enter the sub-menu.

22

Moving Around and Making Selections

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items and the [PageUp]/[+] and
[PageDown]/[-] keys to change entries.

Description of keyboard usage is listed below. You can also find keyboard
instructions on the menu screen.

This item sets whether the system will stop if an error is detected during start up.

24

Advanced BIOS Features

The “Advanced BIOS Features” category includes all the items of your system’s
special enhanced features.

The followings describe in sequence all the items of this category.

Virus Warning

This item helps prevent computer viruses by monitoring the boot sector and
partition table of the hard disk drive. If an attempt is made to modify the boot
sector and partition table, the system will halt and the following error message
will appear. Afterwards, if necessary, you can run an anti-virus program to locate
and remove the problem before any damage is done.

NOTE:

1. Disable this item before installing an operating system.

2. Many disk diagnostic programs can cause this warning message

because they attempt to access the boot sector table. If you will be
running such a program, you may want to disable this item
beforehand.

CPU Internal Cache, External Cache

This item enables or disables the cache of your system. The cache feature
enhances system performance because the most frequently-used data is
accessed from and written to the high-speed cache memory.

CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

This item sets if the system will check the data in cache. The system
performance will be slightly affected when this item is set to Enabled.

Processor Number Features

This item sets if the PSN (Processor Serial Number) of Pentium III is enabled.
PSN, a new feature of Pentium III, serves as an electronic serial number for the
processor. It offers security capabilities when used in applications that supports
PSN system and user identification.

Quick Power On Self Test

This item, when enabled, speeds up the booting procedure by shortening or
skipping some check items during POST.

25

First/Second/Third Boot Device, Boot Other Device

This item sets the sequence of booting, i.e., which drive to search first for the
operating system.

Swap Floppy Drive

This feature allows you to exchange the drive names of the two floppy disk
drives, if installed. Make sure that Drive A and Drive B item in the Standard
CMOS Features menu are updated accordingly.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

This item sets if the system will verify the floppy disk drive type during POST.

Boot Up Numlock Status

This item sets if the Num Lock key will be automatically activated after system
startup.

Gate A20 Option

This item uses the fast gate A20 line to access any memory above 1MB. Setting
this item to make the access faster than the normal method.

Typematic Rate Setting

This item sets if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled, continually
holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. In other
words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down. When the typematic rate is
enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a moment, and, if the
key is still down, it will begin the report that the key has been depressed
repeatedly. For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate cursor
movements with the arrow keys.

When this item is set to Enabled, the following two sub-items appear.

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

This item sets the rate (in characters/second) at which the keys are accelerated.

Typematic Delay (Msec)

This item sets the delay (in msecond) between when the key was first depressed
and when the acceleration begins.

26

Security Option

This item allows you to limit the access to the system and SETUP, or just to
SETUP.

NOTE: Security takes effect only if a password is set. (See “Set
Supervisor/User Password” in this chapter.)

OS Select for DRAM > 64MB

This item allows you to access the memory that is over 64MB in OS/2.

Advanced Chipset Features

The “Advanced Chipset Features” category includes all the items of chipset
special features.

This category 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. Note that
these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been
carefully chosen by your system manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability.

27

Integrated Peripherals

The “Integrated Peripherals” category allows you to configure the on-board
device controllers.

The followings describe in sequence all the items of this category.

On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE

The item allows you to enable or disable the built-in IDE hard disk controller.
Select Disabled only if you are using higher performance or specialized controller
card instead of the onboard IDE controller.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

Each of these four items sets the mode timing according to the IDE hard disk
drives in your system. PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have
the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the
controller and the CPU perform the complete task by themselves. This is simpler
and more efficient (and faster). PIO mode concerns data transfer rate. It can be
mode 0 to 4. Higher number indicates faster rate.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UltraDMA

These items set if the IDE hard disk drive supports UDMA (Ultra 33 synchronous
DMA mode transfer).

USB Controller

This item allows you to enable or disable the on-board USB controller.

USB Keyboard Support

This item allows you to use the USB keyboard in DOS environment.

initializing add-on PCI/ISA VGA cards. Select Enabled if you are using Windows
98’s multi-display function.

IDE HDD Block Mode

This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data
to and from your hard disk drive.

28

Onboard FDC Controller

This item allows you to enable or disable the on-board floppy disk drive
controller. Select Disabled only if you want use a separate floppy disk drive
controller card.

Onboard Serial Port 1

This item sets the I/O address and interrupt request line (IRQ) for the on-board
serial port (COM1).

Onboard Parallel Port

This item sets the I/O address and interrupt request line (IRQ) for the on-board
parallel port (LPT).

Parallel Port Mode

This item sets the operating mode for the on-board parallel (LPT) port. Your
system supports EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP (Extended Capabilities
Port) standards which turn the standard parallel port into a high speed bi­directional peripheral port.

ECP Mode Use DMA

This item selects a DMA channel for the parallel port for use during ECP mode.

Game Port Address

This item sets the I/O address for the on-board game port.

use during the set period. The hard disk will power up again when next
accessed.

Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN

This item defines the Power/Suspend Button of the system.

30

Power On by Ring

If an external modem is connected to the system, this feature allows an incoming
call to power up the system in soft-off mode.

Resume by Alarm

This feature allows a network activity to power up the system in soft-off mode.

** Reload Global Timer Events **

This group of items specify the I/O event that will reset the timer for entering a
low power mode. The system will remain alert for the activity of the device which
is configured as Enabled. If you do not want a certain device activity to affect the
timer, select Disabled for that device.

PnP/PCI Configurations

The “PnP/PCI Configurations” category allows you to configure the PnP/PCI bus
system. PnP (Plug and Play) allows automatic allocation of the IRQ channel,
memory address and I/O address for your system so that manual selection is not
necessary. PCI (Personal Computer Interconnect) is a system which allows I/O
devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its own special components.

Load Fail-Safe / Optimized Defaults

If you select “Load Fail-Safe Defaults” or “Load Optimized Defaults” from the
main menu, some default values will be loaded to the option setup menus such
as Advanced BIOS Features, Advanced Chipset Features, Integrated
Peripherals, Power Management Setup, and PnP/PCI Configuration menus.

The “Fail-Safe” default values have been set to assumedly provide minimum
performance for the system. The settings are non-optimal and disable all high
performance features.

The “Optimized” default values have been set to assumedly provide maximum
performance for the system.

Set Supervisor / User Password

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The
differences between them 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, message will appear at the center of the screen to
assist you in entering a password. Type the password and press [Enter]. Note
the password is case-sensitive and can be up to eight characters in length. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password. You will be
asked to confirm the password by typing it again and pressing [Enter].

To disable a password, just press [Enter] when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter SETUP freely.

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 “Advanced BIOS
Features” menu and its Security option (see “Advanced BIOS Features” in this
chapter). 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.

NOTE: If you forget your password and wish to cancel it, ask your

dealer to reset the CMOS RAM for you.

Exiting Setup

To exit the SETUP program, you can choose “Save & Exit Setup” or “Exit
Without Saving” from the main menu.

After finished with your settings, you must save and exit SETUP so that the
settings can take effect.
