Remark:

3.2GB as Award BIOS limitation by maximum capacity currently;
According to the chipset spec, the 915GV can only decode HA3~HA31, maximum 4GB
address space. The 4GB address space will be shared by the following usage:

1. Memory mapped I/O space for processor build-in device, e.g. APIC

2. Memory mapped I/O space for PCI device

3. Memory mapped memory space for system memory, PCI device memory...

Therefore, the PEAK760 will not be able to see 4GB system memory size when installing
4GB DDR2 modules to DRAM socket. The more PCI Add-On card installed, the less
memory size will be support.

Jumper Setting

PEAK 760 User’s Manual 15

This chapter of the User’s Manual describes how to set jumpers.

Note: The procedures that follow are generic for all PEAK 760 series.

2.1 Before You Begin

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a
malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.
Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

 A Philips screwdriver
 A flat-tipped screwdriver
 A set of jewelers Screwdrivers
 A grounding strap
 An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use
needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.

Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off. Ground yourself before touching
any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding
strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

2.2 Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity.
Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow
the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

 Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the case.
 If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively,

discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal
body of any other grounded appliance.

 Hold electronic circuit boards (such as the PEAK 760 board) by the edges only. Do not touch the

components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board.

 Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped with until they are ready for

installation.

 Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.

PEAK 760 User’s Manual 16

2.3 Setting Jumpers

A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the
jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on
both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin,
the jumper is OPEN. Please see the following illustrations

The illustrations on the right show
a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper
cap is placed on both pins, the
jumper is SHORT. If you remove
the jumper cap, or place the
jumper cap on just one pin, the
jumper is OPEN.

Open (Off) Short (On)

These illustrations show a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

Award BIOS Setup

PEAK 760 User’s Manual 40 Appendix A

This chapter explains how to use the BIOS Setup program for the PEAK 760. The current BIOS setup

pictures in the chapter are for reference only, which may change by the BIOS modification in the future.

User can download any major updated items or reversion from NEXCOM web site

http://www.nexcom.com.tw. If any unclear message occurs, please contact NEXCOM customer service

representative for help or log onto http://www.nexcom.com.tw/contact/contact.htm.

4.1 About the BIOS

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to
make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is
a ROM-based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a
tool to set system parameters. These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS
RAM that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on,
the system is configured with the values found in CMOS.

With easy-to-use pull down menus, you can configure such items as:

 Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
 Video display type and display options
 Password protection from unauthorized use
 Power management features

The settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how the computer performs. It is important,
therefore, the first thing is to try to understand all the Setup options, and secondly, to make settings
appropriate for the way you use the computer.

4.2 When to Run BIOS

This program should be executed under the following conditions:

 When changing the system configuration
 When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted to make changes to

the Setup program

 When resetting the system clock
 When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
 When making changes to the Power Management configuration
 When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup

Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not consistent with the information
contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to
be changed.

PEAK 760 User’s Manual 41 Appendix A

4.3 Entering Setup

When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. These
routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of
two different ways:

 If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of beeps will be transmitted.
 If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen will display the error message.

Powering on the computer and immediately pressing <Del> allows you to enter Setup. Another way to
enter Setup is to power on the computer and wait for the following message during the POST:

TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT

PRESS <CTRL+ALT+DEL > KEY

Press the <Del> key to enter Setup:

4.4 The Main Menu

Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 1) will appear on the screen.
The main menu allows you to select from ten setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to

PEAK 760 User’s Manual 50 Appendix A

4.10 Power Management Setup

This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-saving modes
including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, and software power down that allows the
system to be automatically resumed by certain events.

The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inactive for a time, the timeouts
begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that the timeout period elapses, the system enters a power
saving mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is enabled, then any activity on that
item will reset the timeout counters to zero.

If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be resumed by a wake up call
that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system
realtime clock. Selecting Power Management Setup on the main program screen displays this menu:

Figure 4-5: BIOS – Power Management Setup

ACPI Function

The ACPI standard (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) allows the operating system directly to
