Introduction

K8V800/K8VM800 series of mainboards utilize VIA K8T800/
K8M800+VIA VT8237 chipset, providing a fully compatible,
high performance and cost-effective ATX platform. The new
integrated technologies, together with AC’97 audio(2/6­channel), 8 USB 2.0, 2 SATA, and ATA133/100/66/33, give
customers an advanced, multimedia solution at reasonable
price. I

333/400 memory. It also provides advanced features such
as Wake up by USB devices, Wake-on-LAN and Keyboard
Password Power-on functions. Suspending to RAM, the op­timal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface makes the PC’s power consumption drop
to the lowest possible level and enable quick wakeup.

BIOS-Protection Jumper (JAV)

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 open when changing the system

hardware configuration, or the error message “Unknown Flash Type” will be displayed on the

screen, and DMI information may not be updated.

AWDFLASH.EXE

This is a flash memory write/read utility used for the purpose of upgrading your BIOS when

necessary. Before doing so, please note:

We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encounter problems.

Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making mis­takes, destroying the BIOS and resulting in a non-working system.

When you encounter problems, for example, you find your system does not support the

latest CPU released after our current mainboard, you may therefore upgrade the BIOS,

please don’t forget to set JAV as open and disable the “Flash Write Protect” item in AWARD

BIOS CMOS Setup first .

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 AWDFLASH.EXE(version>=8

CD to your new bootable diskette.

.24q) from the directory \Utility located on QDI Driver

20

3. Download the updated BIOS file from the Website (http://www.qdigrp.com). Please be

sure to download the suitable BIOS file for your mainboard.

4. Decompress the file download, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) to the bootable diskette, and

note the checksum of this BIOS which is located in readme file.

5. Reboot the system from the bootable diskette created.

6. Then run the AWDFLASH utility at the A:\ prompt as shown below:

A:\AWDFLASH xxxx.bin

Follow the instruction through the process. Don’t turn off power or reset the system until

the BIOS upgrade has been completed.

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: CHS, LBA and LARGE.

CHS

Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transfor-

mation during accessing. The maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors for CHS

mode are 1024,16 and 63.

If the user sets his HDD to CHS mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be 528 mega-

bytes 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.

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.

23

BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) into divising 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.

If using Auto detect, the BIOS will automatically detect the IDE hard disk mode and set it as

one of the three modes.

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.

clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the

password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort

the selection.

To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A mes-

sage will confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will

boot and you can enter BIOS Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED

If you have selected “System” in “Security Option” of “BIOS Features Setup” menu, you will be

prompted for the password every time the system reboots or any time you try to enter BIOS

Setup.

If you have selected “Setup” at “Security Option” from “BIOS Features Setup” menu, you will be

prompted for the password only when you enter BIOS Setup.

Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. You can use Supervisor Pass-

word when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup to modify all settings. Also you can

use User Password when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup but can not modify any

setting if Supervisor Password is enabled.

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.

audio output, including 2 Front, 2 Rear, 1 Center and 1 Subwoofer channel. The section will

tell you how to install and use 6-channel audio function on the board.

Installing the Audio Driver

You need to install the driver for Realtek VT1616 chip to function properly before you can get

access to 6-channel audio operations. Follow the procedures described below to install the

drivers for different operating systems.

1. Insert the companion CD into the CD-ROM drive. The setup screen will automati-

cally appear.

2. Select the Sound Driver.

CPU Installation Procedures

1. Pull the lever sideways away from

the socket. Then, raise the lever up

to a 90-degree angle.

2. Look for the cut edge. The cut edge

should point towards the lever pivot.

The CPU will only fit in the correct

orientation. If the CPU is correctly

installed, the pins should be com-

pletely embedded into the socket

and can not be seen.

3. Hold the CPU down firmly, and then

close the lever to complete

installation.

Warning: Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always

make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU

from overheating.
