Aviso:
es recomendable no seleccionar una frecuencia superior para la
CPU a la que esta fue diseñada. En caso contrario, no nos hacemos
responsables de los posibles daños que esto pueda causar.

sistema in modo ottimale, si puo` impostare la velocita` di CPU manualmente,
alla voce “CPU Speed” del menu “SpeedEasy CPU Setup”.
Attenzione: QDI declina ogni responsabilita` per eventuali danni
causati alla CPU da una impostazione della velocita` piu` alta di
quanto indicato dal produttore della CPU stessa.
Nota: Se il sistema non completa il boot per impostazioni errate della

When you select this function, the following message appears at the center of
the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
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, 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”.
IDE HDD Auto Detection
The Enhanced IDE features are included in all Award BIOS. Below is a brief
description of these features.
ROM/PCI/ISA BIOS (2A59IQ1I)
IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION
AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.
HARD DISKS TYPE SIZE CYLS HEAD PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE
Primary Master:
When HDD type is in “user” type, the “MODE” option will be opened for users
to select their own HDD mode.
2. HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE, also
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 overcoming 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.
3 - 16
Chapter 3
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) so the number of cylinders are less than 1024 by
dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads are 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 Routin (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.
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.
