switch of ATX power supply first, then push once the button connected to the
two pin header (POWER).

2. If you want to power off your system, you need not turn off the mechanical
switch of ATX power supply , just push once* again the button connected to
the two pin header(POWER). The location of connector is shown as below

Memory Configuration

The P6I440LX/ATX Legend-I main board supports up to four 168PIN 3.3V
un-buffered DIMM, provides a flexible size from 8MB up to 512MB SDRAM
memory or from 8MB up to 1GB EDO memory. The following set of rules
allows for optimum configurations.
Rules for populating a 440LX memory array:

2 - 4

Chapter 2

, DIMM sockets can be populated in any order. However, to take

advantage of potentially faster MA timing it is recommended to populate
sockets in order.

, SDRAM and EDO DIMMs can be mixed within the memory array.
, The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade

control for the entire memory array, must be programmed to use the
timings of the slowest DRAMs installed.

, Possible EDO DIMM memory size is 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB,

128MB, 256MB in each DIMM socket.

, Possible SDRAM memory size is 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB

in each DIMM socket.

The categories identify the types of 2 IDE channels that have been installed in
the computer. There are 45 predefined types and 4 user definable types are
used for Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to Type 45 are predefined. Type “User”
is user-definable. If your hard disk drive type is not matched with drive table
or listed in it, you can use Type “User” to define your own drive type
manually.

Chapter 3

If you select Type “Auto”, that means the system can autodetect your
hard disk when boots up. If you select Type “User”, related information
is asked to be entered into the following items. Enter the information
directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>:

CYLS number of cylinders HEAD number of heads
PRECOMP write precom LANDZ landing zone
SECTOR number of sectors MODE HDD access mode

Video

You have two ways to boot up the system:
I. When VGA is used as primary and monochrome is used as

secondary, the selection of the video type is “EGA/VGA” mode.

II. When monochrome is used as primary and VGA is used as
secondary, the selection of the video type is “Mono” mode.

EGA/ VGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter / Video Graphic Array. For

EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA, or PGA monitor adapters.
CGA 40 Color Graphic Adapter, powering up in 40 column mode.
CGA 80 Color Graphic Adapter, powering up in 80 column mode.
MONO Monochrome adapter, including high resolution

monochrome adapters.

Halt On

The category determines that whether the computer will stop or not if an
error is detected during powering up.

No errors The system boot will not stop for any error that

may be detected.

All errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error,

the system will stop and you will be prompted.

All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard

error, but it will stop for all the other errors.

All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error;

but it will stop for all the other errors.

All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk

error, but it will stop for all the other errors.

AWARD BIOS Description

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self
Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the

amount of base (or conventional) memory
installed in the system.

Extended Memory The BIOS determines that how much extended

memory is presented during the POST.

Other Memory This is the memory that can be used for different

applications. Most use for this area is Shadow
RAM.

Total Memory Total memory of the system is the sum of the

above memory.

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 Gigabytes.

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. 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.

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.
