Utility Support
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 on our current mainboard, you may therefore upgrade the BIOS, please don’t forget to set JP8 as open(pin2&pin3) 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>=8.23A) from the directory \Utility located
on QDI Mainboard Utility CD onto your new bootable diskette.
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 downloaded, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) onto 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
If you require more detailed information concerning AWDFLASH Utility, for
example, the different usage of parameters, please type A:\>AWDFLASH /?
23
Note:
1. Follow the instruction through the process. Don’t turn
off power or reset the system until the BIOS upgrade has
been completed.
2. AWDFLASH.EXE (version>=8.23F) utility must be used
to upgrade the mainboard family BIOS instead of QDI
flash utility.
3. BIOS version will update constantly.The following BIOS
screens and descripitions are for reference purposes only
and may not reflect your BIOS screens exactly.

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE,or Auto
detect.
CHS mode
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 CHS 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
26
inside the HDD.
BIOS DescriptionBIOS Description
BIOS Description
BIOS DescriptionBIOS Description
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 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.
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.
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.

BootEasy
BootEasy technology enormously improves the long BOOT process time of
computers.Reducing the wait time every user has to suffer when starting their
computer. BIOS without BootEasy has to perform many routines every time
when the system starts, such as checking system core of the computer and
initializing system peripherals. Now with the BootEasy, BIOS will not run these
repetitive Processes any longer , PC can boot-up without any redundant waiting
for the displaying of starting OS. BootEasy is quite easy to use , choose the right
option in CMOS SETUP, ( refer to QDI Innovation features) it can be easily
booted quickly. BootEasy save all the information when PC first normally boot-
up, and it restores all the parameters for the system and thus let the PC boot
freely and rapidly.
56
Note:
1. If the previous boot was not completed then BIOS will perform normal
POST even the BootEasy was enabled.
2. No matter BootEasy is enabled or not, The BIOS will perform normal POST
when CMOS fail.

BIOS-ProtectEasy
The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe viruses
such as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the
mainboard. If the BIOS has been damaged, the system will be unable to boot. We
provide the following solution which protects the system BIOS from being attacked
by such viruses.
57
There are two choices which implements this function.
1. Set the jumper (JP2) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (JP2) as opened, meanwhile set Flash Write Protect as
Enabled in CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but
the DMI information can be updated.
3. JP2 Default is opened.

abarbeitet. So wird beispielsweise jedes Mal die T aktfrequenz des Prozessors
geprüft oder angeschlossene Geräte aktiviert.
Die BootEasy-T echnik prüft diese Punkte nur beim erstmaligen Start des Rechners
und speichert die Ergebnisse in einem Flash ROM. Beim nächsten Start ruft das
System lediglich diese Informationen aus dem Speicher ab und kann so innerhalb
von wenigen Sekunden den Boot-Prozess abschließen.
Bei Änderungen am System, beispielsweise nach dem Einbau eines neuen
Prozessors, muss deshalb zuvor die BootEasy-Funktion deaktiviert werden, beim
nächsten Start werden die neuen Informationen dann erneut abgespeichert.
Falls Fehler im Flash ROM den Bootvorgang behindern, versucht das System drei
Mal den Rechner hochzufahren, bei Misserfolg schaltet
es auf die althergebrachte Art zu booten um, das heißt, es dauert wieder ebenso
lang wie früher. Anschließend kann die BootEasy – Technik wieder aktiviert
werden.
