- ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is

also implemented on P5V580 VP3 Advanced II. ACPI
provide more Energy Saving Features for the future
operation system (OS) supporting OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM) functionality. With these
features implemented in the OS, PCs can be ready
around the same time everyday, yet satisfy all the
energy saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of
ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS such as in the next
release of Windows 9X must be used

- The CPU fan will power off automatically even in

sleep mode. This function reduces both energy
consumption and system noise, and is an important
feature to implement silent PC system

- The system can be in one of two states, one is Sleep

mode and the other is the Soft-Off mode. Pushing the
power button for less than 4 seconds places the system
into Sleep mode. When the power button is pressed for
more than 4 seconds, it enters the Soft-Off mode

- This allows a computer to be turned on remotely

through a modem (internal modem card or external
modem), so that any user can access vital information
from their computer from anywhere in the world

3.11.1 Setup Changes
With auto-detection

• BIOS setup will display all possible modes that is supported by the HDD
including NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.

• If HDD does not support LBA modes, no “LBA” option will be shown.

• If number of physical cylinders is less than or equal to 1024, “LARGE”

option may not be shown.

• Users can select a mode which is appropriate for them.

With Standard CMOS Setup

CYLS HEADS PRECOMP LAND SECTOR MODE

Drive C:User (516MB) 1120 16 65535 1119 59 Normal
Drive D:User (203MB) 684 16 65535 685 38 --------

ZONE

When HDD type is in “user” type, the “MODE” option will be opened for
user to select their own HDD mode.

3.11.2 HDD Modes

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE,
and Auto detect.

NORMAL

Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will
make any transformation during accessing. The maximum number of
cylinders, heads and sectors for NORMAL mode are 1024,16 and 63.

If user sets his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size
will be 528 megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that.

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode

A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck.
The number of cylinders, heads and sectors shown in setup may not
be the number physically contained in the HDD.

During HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address
described by sector, head and cylinder number into its own physical
address inside the HDD. The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is

8.4 Gegabits.

AWARD BIOS Description

LARGE mode

Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in
some cases, user do not want LBA). The Award BIOS provides another
alternative to support these kinds of HDD.

BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) that the number of cylinders is less than 1024 by
dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2. A
reverse transformation process will be made inside INT13h in order to access the
right HDD address.

Auto detect

If using Auto detect, the BIOS will automatically detect IDE hard disk mode
and set it to one kind of HDD modes.

3.11.3 Remark

To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some software
involved which are located in Award HDD Service Routine

(INT13h).It maybe fail to access a HDD with LBA (LARGE) mode
selected if you are running under an Operating System which replaces the
whole INT 13h.

3.12 Power - On Boot

If you have made all the changes to CMOS values and the system can not boot with
the CMOS values selected in Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF then ON
or press the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart the system
by simultaneously pressing < Ctrl >, < Alt > and < Del > keys.
