Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration

2-3 HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting jumpers. A jumper consists of two
or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and a small
plastic “cap” (with a metal contact inside) to connect the pins. So you can
set up your hard ware configuration by “open” or “close” the pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets, which is called jumper blocks.
When the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set
up the hardware c onfiguration. The figure below shows how this looks.

JUMPERS AND CAPS

If a jumper has three pins, for example labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3.
You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting and shorting. You can
either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper
diagrams are applied all through this manual. The figure belo w shows what
the manual diagram looks like and what they represent.

of your system. The following pages describe how to use the BIOS for
system chipset Setup menu.

Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such
things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.

The operating system relies on the BIOS (Basic Input and Output system),
a program stored on a ROM (Read-only Memory) chip, to initialize and
configure your computer's hardware. As the interface between the
hardware and the operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic
changes to your system's hardware without having to write a new
operating system.

The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between the
system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:

AT BUS CLOCK:

The chipset generates the ISA bus clock (ATCLK) from an internal
division of PCICLK. You can set the speed of the AT bus in terms of a
fraction of the CPU clock speed, or at the fixed speed of 7.16 MHz.

DRAM TIMING:

The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed
memory chips (DRAM). Do not change the value from the factory
setting unless you install new memory that has a different per formance
rating than the original DRAMs.

SDRAM CAS LATENCY:

You can select CAS latency time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The system
board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the
DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this filed unless you
change specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.

PIPELINED FUNCTION:

When Enabled, the controller signals the CPU for a new memory address
before all data transfers for the current cycles are complete, resulting in
faster performance.

GRAPHIC APERTURE SIZE (MB) :

The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for
graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range
are forwarded to the AGP without any translation.

DRAM DATA INTEGRITY MODE:

Select parity or ECC (error-correcting code), according to the type of
installed DRAM.

MEMORY HOLE AT 15-16M:

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be
reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory
space below 16MB.

Page: 5-14

Prox-1580 USER

S MANUAL

ISA LINE BUFFER:

The PCI to ISA Bridge has an 8-byte bi-directional line buffer for ISA or
DMA bus master memory reads from or writes to the PCI bus. When
Enabled, an ISA or DMA bus master can prefetch two doublewords to the
line buffer for a read cycle.

PASSIVE RELEASE:

When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive
release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access to
local DRAM.

DELAYED TRANSACTION:

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1.

PRIMARY FRA ME BUFFER:

Select a size for the PCI frame buffer. The size of the buffer should not
impinge on local memory.

VGA FRAME BUFFER:

When Enabled, a fixed VGA frame buffer from A000h TO BFFFh and a
CPU-to-PCI write buffer are implemented.

DATA MERGE:

This field controls the word-merge feature for frame buffer cycles.
When Enabled, this controller checks the eight CPU Byte Enable signals
to determine if data words read from the PCI bus by the CPU can be
merged.

IO RECOVERY PERIOD:

The peripheral controller insert a minimum of 2 bus clock (BCLK) delays
between back-to-back 8- or 16-bit ISA I/O cycles issued from the PCI
master.

AUTO DETECT DIMM/PCI CLK :

To reduce the occurrence of electromagnetic interference (EMI), the
BIOS detect the presence or absence of components in DIMM and PCI
slots and turns off system clock generator pulses to empty slots.

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup

Prox-1580 USER′S MANUAL

Page: 5-15

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup

SPREAD SPECTRUM :

When the system clock generator pulses, the extreme values of the pulse
generate excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum spread modulation
changes the extreme values from spikes to flat curves, thus reducing
EMI. This benefit may in some cases be outweighed by problems with
timing-critical devices such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.

CPU HOST CLOCK (CPU/PCI) :

Select Default or select a timing combination for the CPU and the PCI
bus. When set to Default, the BIOS uses the actual CPU and PCI bus
clock values.

CPU WARNING TEMPERATURE :

Select the combination of lower and upper limits for the CPU
temperature. If the CPU temperature extends beyond either limit, any
warning mechanism programmed into your system will be activated.

CURRENT SYSTEM TEMPERATURE :

This field displays the current system temperature if your system
contains a monitoring system.

CURRENT CPU1 TEMPERATURE :

This field displays the current CPU temperature if your system contains
a monitoring system.

CURRENT CPUFAN1/2 SPEED :

These fields display the current speed of the CPU fan, if your computer
contains a monitoring system.

SHUTDOWN TEMPERATURE :

This field enables you to set the temperature wherein the system will
automatically shutdown when the CPU temperature exceeds the
temperature set.

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all device
except the CPU will be shut off.

WAKE ON LAN USE:

This category allows your computer to be booted from another computer
through network by sending a wake-up signal.

PM EVENTS:

PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from
entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a
mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to
a device which is configured as Enabled, even when the system is in a
power down mode.

RESET CONFIGURATION DATA:

When Enable, the system will reset Extended System Configuration Data
(ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the
system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the
operating system cannot boot.

IRQ # ASSIGNED TO:

If resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt as
Legacy ISA Devices or PCI/ISA PnP Devices.

Legacy ISA Devices complaint with the original PC AT bus

specification, requiring a specific interrupt such as
IRQ4 for serial port 1.

PCI/ISA PnP Devices complaint with the Plug and Play standard,

whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

DMA # ASSIGNED TO:

If resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel
as as Legacy ISA Devices or PCI/ISA PnP Devices.

Legacy ISA Devices complaint with the original PC AT bus

specification, requiring a specific interrupt such as
IRQ4 for serial port 1.

PCI/ISA PnP Devices complaint with the Plug and Play standard,

whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

PCI IDE 2ND CHANNEL :

Since your chipset supports a second IDE channel, you can use this
selection to enable or disable the second channel. The second channel
may connect to a CD-ROM.

PCI IRQ ACTIVATED BY :

Leave the IRQ trigger set at Level unless the PCI device assigned to the
interrupt specifies Edge-triggered interrupts.

PCI IDE IRQ MAP TO :

This field lets you select PCI IDE IRQ mapping/PC AT (ISA) interrupts.
If your system does not have one or two PCI IDE connectors on the
system board, select values according to the type of IDE interface(s)
installed in your system (PCI/ISA). Standard ISA interrupts for IDE
channels are IRQ14 for primary and IRQ15 for secondary.
