Memory Configuration
This mainboard provides two 168 pin 3.3V un-buffered DIMM sockets to support a flexible memory size ranging from 8MB/256MB for SDRAM or from 8MB/512MB for EDO memory. Both 66MHz/100MHz SDRAM and 66MHz EDO DIMMs are supported.
General DIMM notes:
l The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade control for
the entire memory array, must be programmed to use the timing of the lowest DRAMs installed.
l Possible EDO DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB,
256MB in each DIMM socket.
l Possible SDRAM DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB in
each DIMM socket.
l SDRAM clocks can be programmed to be synchronous with CPU clock. The
BIOS provides you with two choices, SDRAM Syn. or SDRAM Asyn. Syn. is more stable than Asyn., so if PC-100 spec. SDRAMs are used on your system, choose ‘ Syn’ . If PC-66 spec. SDRAMs are used on your system, and the host bus speed is lower than 83MHz, set as ‘ Syn.’ also. However, if the host bus speed equals to or higher than 83MHz, set as ‘ Asyn.’

Chapter 3 BIOS Description
Utility Support:
FLASH.EXE
This is a flash memory write/read utility used for the purpose of updating your BIOS when necessary. Before doing so, please note:
l We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encountering problems. l Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making
mistakes, resulting in a destroyed BIOS and a non-working system.
When you are encountering problems, for example, you find your system doesn’ t support the new CPU which is released after our current motherboard, you may therefore update the BIOS.
Follow the steps exactly for a successful upgrade.
1. Create a bootable system floppy diskette by typing Format A:/s from the DOS prompt under DOS6.xx or Windows 9x environment.
2. Copy FLASH.EXE from the directory \Utility on the QDI Motherboard Utility CD onto your new bootable diskette.
3. Download the updated BIOS file from the Website (http://www.qdigrp.com). Please be sure to download the suitable BIOS file for your motherboard.
4. Uncompress the file download, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) onto the bootable diskette, and write down the checksum of this BIOS which is included in readme file.
5. Reboot the system from the bootable diskette which you have created.
6. Then run the FLASH utility at the A:\ prompt. During the process, the system will prompt : ‘ Do you want to save the BIOS(Y/N)’ . If you type ‘ Y’ , the system will prompt for the BIOS name. The system will also display the checksum which should be exactly the same as the checksum you copied from the readme file. Don’ t turn off power or reset the system until the BIOS upgrade has been completed.
Concerning how to run the FLASH utility, please refer to the following descriptions: Usage: FLASH [BIOSfile] [/c[<command...>]][/n] FLASH [BiOSfile] [/g] /c: Flashing memory will clear previous settings. Default allows settings to remain. <command> function definition: c: clear CMOS; p: clear PnP; d: clear DMI.

Manual for P5MVP3/A3
Page 36
Chapter 3
2. HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE, also 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 the 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 Gigabytes.
LARGE mode
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in some cases, users do not want LBA). The Award BIOS provides another alternative to support these
kinds of HDD. BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) into recognizing 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 the IDE hard disk mode and set it as one of the three modes.
3. Remark
To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some softwares involved which are located in Award HDD Service Routine(INT13h).It may fail to access a HDD with LBA (LARGE) mode selected if you are running under an Operating System which replaces the
whole INT 13h.
Boot with BIOS defaults
If you have made all the changes to CMOS values and the system can not boot with the
CMOS values selected in Setup, clear CMOS after power-down, then power-on again. System will boot with BIOS defaults setting.

Para hacer que su sistema funcione lo más rapidamente posible, Ud. puede manualmente aumentar el valor de la velocidad de frecuencia en “CPU Speed” en el menu <SpeedEasy CPU SETUP>.
Aviso
Aviso: es recomendable no seleccionar una frecuencia superior para la CPU a la que esta fue diseñada. En caso contrario, no nos hacemos
responsables de los posibles daños que esto pueda causar.
Nota: por lo tanto, si su sistema no puede rearrancar de nuevo tras haber variado la frecuencia de trabajo de la CPU por una incorrecta, Ud. puede arrancar manteniendo apretada la tecla <Del> mientras conecta su equipo. El
sistema arrancará con los valores bá sicos.
