System Setting by Jumper

The mainboard offers a set of jumper settings to facilitate clock frequency
adjustment and some important selections.

CPU Frequency Selection

According to CPU’s specification, set CPUs clock speed carefully. The
following illustration lists the jumper settings for the PentiumII CPUs:

Note: You must shut down the power

supply first when you

want to clear the CMOS.

Memory Configuration

The P6I440LX/DP Legend IV mainboard supports up to four 168PIN 3.3V un­buffered 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/DP Legend IV memory array:

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 (Please refer to "Chipset
Features Setup" of BIOS).

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,

256MB in each DIMM socket.

Wide SCSI Selection

JP25 decides the on-board SCSI controller

SLOT1, SLOT2 Slots for CPU1 and CPU2. When single CPU is needed,

you can select any one of the two slots to install the CPU,
while another slot is for GTC (GTL Terminator Card). It's
necessary to install GTC when single CPU mode is
selected.

LAN On-board LAN I/O Connector. The on-board LAN adapter

occupies PIRQB of the PCI interrupter.

AGP For AGP cards. Since the on-board LAN occupies PIRQB

of PCI interrupter, you must select PIRQA for AGP Card
to avoid the resource’s conflicting.

PCI1 A PCI slave device can be installed, such as VGA card

which does not need interrupter. A PCI master device also
can be installed which needs PCI interrupter, such as a
LAN adapter. If a master device is installed, PIRQA must
be selected and there's no AGP card available.

PCI2 For those PCI slave devices which do not need PCI

interrupter.

PCI3 For those PCI slave devices which do not need PCI

interrupter.

PCI4 It's the same as PCI1 except the PCI interrupter should be

set to PIRQD when a master device is installed. In most
cases, PCI4 combining with the RAID port slot is used for
RAID port card (See RAID port).

This RAID port option by adding the Adaptec ARO-1130
adapter can support:

Bus Master DMA
Up to 133 Mbyte/Sec Burst rate
RAID 5, 1, 0 and 0/1
Fully Netware 3.11, 3.12, 4.x & WinNT

3.51/4.0 supported by Adaptec

ISA 1, 2, 3 General using for ISA cards.
DIMM 1-2, 3, 4 Memory for SDRAM or EDO.
Narrow SCSI For ultra narrow SCSI peripherals. Be sure the red side of

the cable should align to the end of the connector which is
signed with " ".

Wide SCSI For ultra wide SCSI peripherals.

Note1:Ultra narrow SCSI peripherals and ultra wide SCSI
peripherals can be used at the same time.

Note2:You must assign a different SCSI ID to each device
on the SCSI bus connected to the system board. See your
SCSI device documentation for directions on how to
determine the ID and change it.

Ultra Wide SCSI devices connected to this mainboard’s
SCSI connector can be assigned ID from 0 to 15 (for 68
pin Wide SCSI connection). Normally, ID7 will be used
by the on-board host.

The SCSI ID0 is the best one for SCSI hard disk to be
used as your computer’s boot device; ID1 is best reserved
for a secondary SCSI hard disk. (Only when you use the
SCSI hard disks and devices.)

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

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.

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

1. Setup Changes

With auto-detection

• 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.

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

ZONE

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

4 - 18

Chapter 4

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 and63.

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
