Note: 1.If wanting to use this function, 5VSB line of the power supply should be

capable of delivering enough current (eg. 200mA) for all the devices con
nected to the keyboard port, or you can’t power up the system using the
keyboard.

2.If you set JP2 with pin2&pin3 closed, set “POWER ON Function” to
BUTTON ONLY, don’t set it to Password, or this will prevent you from
powering up your system.

3. If you encounter problems above, clear CMOS and set the jumper and
BIOS option properly again.

BIOS Write Protection Jumper (JAV)

The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. If the jumper JAV is set as
closed, you will be unabled to flash the BIOS to the mainboard. However in this status, the
system BIOS is protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.

Flash Write Enabled

Flash Write Disabled

JAV

JAV

Setting the jumper JAV as Opened(default), meanwhile disabling the “Flash Write Protect” item
from “BIOS Features Setup” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the BIOS to the
Flash ROM.
The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,
memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However, setting jumper JAV as closed makes flashing BIOS and
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as opened when changing the
system hardware configuration, or the error message “Unkown Flash Type” will be dis­played on the screen, and DMI information update will be fail.

Refer to page 35 for related BIOS setting.

Overclocking Jumper Setting(JFSB1)

Jumper labeled JFSB1 is located on the mainboard providing users with CPU overclocking
feature. The host bus speed can be set as 100MHz or AUTO select. Refer to the chart
below for the location of these jumpers and the information on how to set them.

133MHz FSB

If CPU FSB is set as default setting AUTO by jumper JFSB1 , the system detects the CPU
front side bus (66/100MHz) automatically. If CPU FSB is set as 100MHz, the system can run
at 100MHz front side bus even if a processor with 66MHz FSB is installed. However,
whether or not your system can be overclocked depends on your processor’ s capability.
Whether the processor is bus ratio locked or unlocked should also be taken into account.
For bus ratio unlocked processor, this overclocking feature can be implemented by setting
CPU FSB as 100MHz, meanwhile adjusting the bus ratio (Multiplier) lower in “SpeedEasy
CPU Setup” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup. We do not guarantee the overclocking system to
be stable.

Note: The jumpers JFSB2 and JCLK are located on the mainbord for our next

product . We suggest that the CPU front side bus can be set as overclocking only
by the jumper JFSB1.

Memory Configuration

This mainboard provides three 168 pin 3.3V un-buffered DIMM sockets to support a flexible
memory size ranging from 8MB/384MB for SDRAM or from 8MB/768MB for EDO memory.
Both 66MHz/100MHz SDRAM with SPD and 66MHz EDO DIMMs are supported. The follow­ing set of rules allows for optimum configurations.

Rules for populating a 440BX memory array:

l Processors with 100MHz front-side bus should be paired only with 100MHz SDRAM.

Processors with 66MHz front-side bus can be paired with either 66MHz or 100MHz
SDRAM.

l Using the serial presence detect (SPD) data structure, programmed into an E

the DIMM, the BIOS can determine the SDRAM’ s size and speed.

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 slowest DRAMs installed.

l Possible SDRAM DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB in each DIMM

socket.

l Possible EDO DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB in each

DIMM socket.

SecurityEasy

SecurityEasy

There are two ways to prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system:
System Password and SecurityEasy.

System Password

Set system password in the ” PASSWORD SETTING” section of the BIOS, and set the
“Password Setting” to System in the “ BIOS FEATURES SETUP” section. You will be prompted
for the password every time the system boots or any time you try to enter BIOS Setup. If the
“Password Setting” is set as Setup, you will be prompted for the password only when
entering BIOS Setup.

SecurityEasy

The BrillianX 1S/2000 provides additional SecurityEasy function to protect the system from
unauthorized entry or use. There are two ways to enter the lock status.

l Push once the button connected to the two-pin header SLEEP after enabling the lock

function in BIOS Setup. If the lock function is disabled, this button is used as SLEEP
button.

l ‘ Keyboard Inactive Timer’ is counted to the preset value-from 1 minute to 1 hour set in

the BIOS Setup.

In the lock status, the power switch and reset buttons are unresponsive, PS/2 mouse is
locked, and the keyboard is locked except for the SecurityEasy password entering. You
can preset the Video as blank in the lock status. The only way to exit the lock status is to
enter SecurityEasy password using the keyboard. This means if you set the lock function
as enabled, you must also set the SecurityEasy password.

Please read the notes below thoroughly.

Note 1: The green function and the lock function can not be enabled at the same time.
Note 2: If lock function is enabled, the SecurityEasy password should be set, no more

than six characters.

Note 3: When entering the SecurityEasy password to exit the lock status, use the

<Enter> key located on the alphabetic pad and not the <Enter> key located on the
numeric pad.

Note 4: If there is no SLEEP button on your case, your system still can enter lock status

through our lock application. Refer to Appendix A (item 4) for details.

Note 5: See also ‘ SecurityEasy Setup’ in chapter 4 ‘ BIOS Description’ .

With auto-detection

• BIOS setup will display all possible modes 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 cylinder is less than or equal to 1024,’ LARGE’

option may not be shown.

• Users can select their appropriate mode .

Manual BrillianX 1S/2000

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 default settings.
