The P6I440LX/AV Legend-III motherboard 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:

, DIMM modules can be populated in any order. However, it is

recommended to populate modules in order.

, SDRAM and EDO DIMMs can be mixed within the memory array.
, The DRAM Speed Selection in CMOS Chipset Features Setup, 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.

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>:

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.

monochrome adapters.

Error Halt

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.

AWARD BIOS Description

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self

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.

Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The password
typed now will 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 and not enter
a password.

To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
password. A message will confirm the password being disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED

If you select “System” at “Security Option” of “BIOS Features Setup” Menu,
you will be prompted for the password every time the system is rebooted or
any time you try to enter “CMOS Setup”.

If you select “Setup” at “Security Option” of “BIOS Features Setup” Menu, you
will be prompted for the password only when you try to enter “CMOS Setup”.

Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. You can use
Supervisor Password when booting system or entering “CMOS Setup” to modify

all settings. Also you can use User Password when booting system or entering

IDE HDD Auto Detection

The Enhanced IDE features was included in all Award BIOS. Below is a brief
description of this features.

1. Setup Changes

♦ 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.

AWARD BIOS Description

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

Change to Standard CMOS Setup

SIZE CYLS HEADS PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE

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

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

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 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.

3-

20

Chapter 3

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.

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 power­down, then power-on again. System will boot with BIOS defaults setting.

VGA and TV-out Description

ATI's 3D Rage Pro® AGP graphics system with TV-out function is available
on motherboard. They are the most advanced on the market today.

C-Video socket

Preparing your computer

Connect your monitor cable and video cable (if you need TV-out) to their
sockets on motherboard respectively before power-on. If video cable is not
connected when power-on, video signal is not available so as to enhance VGA
performance. Video signal could be PAL or NTSC mode. You should set up
the right mode in Integrated Peripherals of BIOS SETUP with
correspondent to your television system. Video effort is best in 640 x 480
resolution.

If you are using other VGA cards’ drivers that are not 640 x 480 x 16 mode
and an operating system that is not Windows 95, you may encounter conflicts
with the motherboard. It is recommended that you first reconfigure your
operating system to use a VGA driver supplied with your operating system.
For more information about changing your operating system configuration,
please refer to your operating system documentation accordingly.
