PCI VGA Palette Snooping

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible, take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide the boot information and the VGA compatibility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA controllers is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Writes.

In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write. It should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable the option. Disabled

Disable the function (Default) Enabled Enable the function

OS Select for DRAM > 64MB

boot up.

Page 39

3.8 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup

You can manually configure the PCI Device’s IRQ. The following pages tell you the options of each item and describe the manings of each options.

PnP OS Installed

When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system

like windows 95/98. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. So, for non-PnP operating system (DOS, Netware), this option must set to NO.

Resources Controlled By

By choosing “AUTO”, the system BIOS will detect the system resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral. By choosing “MANUAL” (default), the user will need to assign IRQ and DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there is no conflict for IRQ/DMA and I/O ports. Note: When choosing “AUTO”, you must be sure that all of the system add-on cards are PnP type.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so that the system needs to record which resource is assigned and protect resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a node which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations. These locations (4K) are reserved at the system BIOS.

Page 40

If Disabled (default) is chosen, the system’s ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If Enabled is chosen, the system will be forced to update the system’s ESCD. Then, this option will be auto-set to Disable. IRQ-3 assigned to Legacy ISA IRQ-4 assigned to Legacy ISA IRQ-5 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP IRQ-7 assigned to Legacy ISA IRQ-9 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP IRQ-10 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP IRQ-11 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP IRQ-12 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP IRQ-14 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP IRQ-15 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP DMA-0 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP DMA-1 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP DMA-3 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP DMA-5 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP DMA-6 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP DMA-7 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual’ is chosen for the Resources Controlled by function. Legacy is the the term which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides for non PnP ISA add-on card. PCI/ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI us or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

PCI Delay Transaction

This items allows you to Enable /Disable the PCI delay transaction. Enabled Delay transaction timing Disabled Transaction in normal mode

Assign IRQ for USB

This item allows the user to Enable/Disable the Assign IRQ for USB. Enabled Choose which IRQ to assign for USB Disabled Will not assign IRQ for USB

This item allows the user to Enable/Disable the Assign IRQ for VGA. Enabled Choose which IRQ to assign for VGA Disabled Will not assign IRQ for VGA

Page 41

3.9 Load BIOS / Setup Defaults

This Main Menu item loads the default system values. If the CMOS is corrupted, the defaults are loaded automatically. Choose this item and the following message appears:

“Load Setup Defaults (Y/N) ? N” To use the Setup defaults, change the prompt to “Y” and press <Enter>. Note: The setup defaults can be customized to increase performance. However, the BIOS defaults can always be used as a back up if there is some problem with the mainboard operation.

3.10 Integrated Peripherals

IDE HDD Block Mode

Enabled/Disabled Enabled allows the Block mdoe access for the IDE HDD.

IDE Primary Master PIO IDE Primary Slave PIO IDE Secondary Master PIO IDE Secondary Slave PIO Auto / Mode 0 / Mode 1-4

Page 42

For these 4 IDE options, choose “Auto” to have the system BIOS auto detect the IDE HDD operation mode for POI access. Note: Some IDE HDD cannot operate at the responding HDD’s mode. When the user has selected “Auto” and the system BIOS bas accepted the HDD response mode, the user may degrade the HDD’s operation mode. e.g. If the HDD reported that it can operate in mode 4 but it is not operating properly, the user will have to manually change the operation mode to mode 3. Choosing Mode 1-4 will have the system ignore the HDD’s reported operation mode and use the selected mode instead. Note: According to ATA specs. Mode 4 transfer rate is > Mode 3 > Mode 2 >

Mode 1 > Mode 0. If the user’s HDD can operate at Mode 3 the user can also select a slower Mode (i.e. Mode 0-2) but not a faster Mode (i.e. Mode 4)

On-Chip Primary PCI IDE / On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE

Enabled / Disabled The system provides for an ON-Board ON-Chipset PCI IDE controller that supports Dual Channel IDE (Primary and Secondary). A maximum of 4 IDE devices can be supported. If the user install the Off-Board PCI IDE controller (i.e. add-on cards), the user must choose which channels will be disabled. This will depend on which channel will be used for the Off-Board PCI IDE add-on card. Init Display First PCI Slot If both PCI VGA card and AGP card are installed, the system

will display the PCI VGA card first.

AGP If both PCI VGA and AGP card are installed, the system will

show the AGP card first.

Onboard FDC Controller

Enabled / Disabled

Onboard Serial Port 1 / Onboard Serial Port 2

Auto / Disabled / (3F8/IRQ4) / (2F8/IRQ3) / (3E8/IRQ4) / (2E8/IRQ3) The system has an ON-board Super I/O chispet with 2 serial ports. The On-board serial ports can be selected as: Auto Disabled 3F8/IRQ4 2F8/IRQ3 3E8/IRQ4 2E8/IRQ3

The system has an on-board Super I/O chip with a FDD controller that supports 2 FDDs for 360K/720K/1.2M/1.44M/2.8M. Choose “Enabled” to use the onboard FDD controller for accessing the FDD. Otherwise choose “Disabled” to use the off-board FDD controller.

COM 1 uses IRQ4 COM 2 uses IRQ3 COM 3 uses IRQ4 COM 4 uses IRQ3

Note: Because the ISA interrupt accepts low to high edge trigger, the interrupt request line cannot be shard by multiple sources. If an off-board ISA add-on card with a serial port is installed the user may have to disable the on-board serial port because it will conflict with IRQ request line for the off-board serial port.

UART Mode Select

This item is selectable only when the onboard serial port 2 is enabled. The available mode selections for the serial port 2 are Standard, IrDA and ASKIR. Standard (Default) IrDA Set to this setting if there is an infrared device connected on

ASKIR Set to this setting if there is an infrared device connected on

Onboard Parallel Port

There is a built-in parallel port on the on-board Super I/O chipset that provides Standard, ECP, and EPP features. It has the following options. Disable 3BCH/IRQ7 Line Printer port 0 278H/IRQ5 Line Printer port 2 378H/IRQ5 Line Printer port 1

Onboard Parallel Mode

SPP Standard Parallel Port EPP Enhanced Parallel Port ECP Extended Capability Port To operate the onboard parallel port as standard parallel port only, choose “SPP”. To operate the onboard parallel port in the ECP and SPP modes simultaneously, choose “ECP/SPP”. By choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP/EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA”. At this time, the user can choose between DMA channels 3 or 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the user chooses the onboard parallel ort with the EPP function, the following message will be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select”. At this time either EPP1.7 spec. Or EPP 1.9 spec. can be chosen.

2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 8 characters only

and press <Enter>. The screen will not display the entered characters. For no password, just enter <Enter>.

3. After you enter the password, the following message appears prompting you to

confirm the password:

“Confirm Password”

4. Enter exactly the same password you just typed in to confirm the password and

press <Enter>.

5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.

6. If you need to delete the password you entered before, choose the Supervisor

Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password that you had before.

7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option you did. Otherwise,

the old password will still be there when you turn on your machine next time.

3.12 IDE HDD Auto Detection

You can use this utility to automatically detect the characteristics of most hard drives. When you enter this utility, the screen asks you to select a specific hard disk for Primary Master. If you accept a hard disk detected by the BIOS, you can enter “Y” to confirm and then press <Enter> to check next hard disk. This function allows you to check four hard disks and you may press the <ESC> after the <Enter> to skip this function and go back to the Main Menu.
