Installing Memory Modules

Locate the DIMM1 SO-DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM with

1.
the key on the slot and insert the DIMM into the slot at a 45-degree
angle.

Push the DIMM gently forwards until the slot levers click and lock

2.
the DIMM in place. Follow the same procedures to install the second
DIMM if necessary.

To uninstall the DIMM, ip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will

Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When
connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the
positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and
should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware

This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup

program and allows you to congure the system for

optimum use.
You may need to run the Setup program when:

An error message appears on the screen

■

during the system booting up, and requests
you to run SETUP.

You want to change the default settings for

■

customized features.

▍

entering Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test)
process. When the message below appears on the screen, press <DEL>
key to enter Setup.

Press DEL to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET
button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>,
<Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

Important

The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are un-

description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be
held for reference only.

Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOS

Intel(R) Virtualization Tech

▶

Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a

platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in indepen-

dent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function

as multiple “Virtual” systems.

Execute Disable Bit Capability

▶

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of

malicious “buffer overow” attacks when combined with a supporting

operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify

areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it

cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer,

the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm

propagation.

Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) tech

opened. To clear the warning message, set the eld to [Reset]. The set-

ting of the eld will automatically return to the default value later.

CPU Smart Fan Target/ SYS Samrt Fan Target

▶

The mainboard provides Smart Fan function. Its key idea is to control

the CPU/ system fan speed automatically depending on the current

CPU/ system temperature as a way to prevent the CPU/ system from

overheating. You can select a fan target value here. If the current CPU/

system temperature reaches the target value preset here, the Smart

Fan function will be activated.

of the memory allocated to either system or graphics processor.
It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to DVMT Mode for maxi-

mum performance. Setting it to DVMT Mode ensures that system memory
is dynamically allocated for optimal balance between graphics and system
performance.

DVMT/FIXED Memory

▶

When set to DVMT/FIXED Mode, the graphics driver will allocate a

Perform keyboard controller BAT test. Check if waking up from power man­agement suspend state. Save power-on CPUID value in scratch CMOS.

Go to at mode with 4GB limit and GA20 enabled. Verify the bootblock

checksum.

Disable CACHE before memory detection. Execute full memory sizing

module. Verify that at mode is enabled.

If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do mem­ory sizing in Bootblock code. Do additional chipset initialization. Re-en-

able CACHE. Verify that at mode is enabled.

Test base 512KB memory. Adjust policies and cache rst 8MB. Set

stack.

Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control
is given to it. BIOS now executes out of RAM.

Both key sequence and OEM specic method is checked to determine if

BIOS recovery is forced. Main BIOS checksum is tested. If BIOS recovery

is necessary, control ows to checkpoint E0. See Bootblock Recovery

Code Checkpoints section of document for more information.

Restore CPUID value back into register. The Bootblock-Runtime interface
module is moved to system memory and control is given to it. Determine

whether to execute serial ash.

The Runtime module is uncompressed into memory. CPUID information
is stored in memory.

Store the Uncompressed pointer for future use in PMM. Copying Main

storage area. If the CMOS checksum is bad, update CMOS with power-on
default values and clear passwords. Initialize status register A. Initializes
data variables that are based on CMOS setup questions. Initializes both
the 8259 compatible PICs in the system

Initializes the interrupt controlling hardware (generally PIC) and interrupt
vector table.

Do R/W test to CH-2 count reg. Initialize CH-0 as system timer. Install the
POSTINT1Ch handler. Enable IRQ-0 in PIC for system timer interrupt.
Traps INT1Ch vector to “POSTINT1ChHandlerBlock.”

Displaying sign-on message, CPU information, setup key message, and

any OEM specic information.

Initializes different devices through DIM. See DIM Code Checkpoints sec­tion of document for more information.

Test for total memory installed in the system. Also, Check for DEL or ESC
keys to limit memory test. Display total memory in the system.

Detect different devices (Parallel ports, serial ports, and coprocessor in
CPU, … etc.) successfully installed in the system and update the BDA,
EBDA…etc.
