As widely known, SpeedEasy has been an advanced innovation of QDI.

As the development of Intel’ s new processor, the bus ratio of the processor has been locked, it’ s not necessary to setup the bus ratio either by hardware jumper or software BIOS. After installing the Intel Celeron

processor, setup the bus speed in “Chipset Features Setup” section of the BIOS.

We provide users with CPU overclock feature. The bus speed can be set as 66/75/83/100/112MHz. However, whether or not your system can be overclocked depends on your processor’ s capability. We do not guarantee the overclock system to be stable.

“CPU Clock Ratio Jumpless” option is reserved for bus ratio unlocked processor. For bus ratio locked processor, this option doesn’ t work.

For detailed information, please refer to “Chipset Features Setup” section of the BIOS.

BIOS Description

Utility Support:

FLASH.EXE

This is a flash memory write/read utility used for the purpose of upgrading your BIOS when necessary. Before doing so, please note:

l We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encountering problems. l Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making

mistakes, destroying the BIOS and resulting in a non-working system.

When you are encountering problems, for example, you find your system doesn’ t support the new CPU which is released after our current mainboard, you may therefore upgrade the BIOS.

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 FLASH.EXE from the directory \Utility located on the 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. Uncompress the file download, 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 FLASH utility at the A:\ prompt. During the process, the system will prompt : ‘ Do you want to save the BIOS(Y/N)’ . If you type ‘ Y’ , the system will prompt for the BIOS name. The system will also display the checksum which should be exactly the same as the checksum you copied from the readme file. Don’ t turn off power or reset the system until the BIOS upgrade has been completed.

Concerning how to run the FLASH utility, please refer to the following descriptions: Usage: FLASH [BIOSfile] [/c[<command...>]][/n] FLASH [BIOSfile] [/g] /c: Flashing memory will clear previous settings. Default allows settings to remain. <command> function definition: c: clear CMOS; p: clear PnP; d: clear DMI.

BIOS Description

/n: programs BIOS without prompting. If this option is chosen:

Be sure your new BIOS is compatible with your mainboard. If not, the system will be damaged. /g: Retrieves BIOS file from BIOS ROM.

Examples: A:\FLASH.EXE BIOSfile.bin A:\FLASH.EXE BIOSfile.bin /cdpc/n A:\FLASH.EXE BIOSfile.bin /g

for all other errors.

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

stop for all other errors.

Memory

This is a Display-Only Category, 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 how much extended memory is

presented during the POST.

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

applications. Shadow RAM is most used in this area.

including NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.

• If HDD does not support LBA modes, no “LBA” option will be shown.

• If number of physical cylinder is less than or equal to 1024, “LARGE”

BIOS Description

2. HDD Modes

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.

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 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 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, 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.

If using Auto detect, the BIOS will automatically detect the IDE hard disk mode and set it as one of the three modes.

3. 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.

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 power-down, then power on again. System will boot with BIOS default settings.

YAMAHA Software Installation

Before you begin: All of the installation instructions assume that the CD-ROM disk is located in drive D: and

that Windows 95/98 is in C:\Windows. Replace either with the actual location if necessary.

1. Installation of Windows 95/98 Driver

There are two ways to install the Windows 95/98 drivers. One is by using normal PnP installation of Windows. Another is by using the Yamaha Driver Installer. Please note, if using normal PnP installation, the system will prompt you for the Yamaha audio driver during Windows 95/98 startup, direct the path to D:\DevDrv\Sound\Yamaha\Driver \Win95/98 and run setup.exe.

Manual for Superb 2

Page 38

YAMAHA Audio Description

Installation using the Yamaha Driver installer.

• Under Windows 95/98, insert the QDI Mainboard Utility CD into the CD-ROM drive.

• Direct the path to D:\DevDrv\Sound\Yamaha\Driver\Inst95/98 and run Setup.exe.

The Yamaha DS-XG Driver Setup will guide you through the setup process.

• Restart the computer when prompted.

• During Windows 95/98 startup, several New Hardware Found boxes will appear as

shown below.

• After completing the installation, the sound, video and game controllers should be

listed in Device Manager from System Properties as shown below.

2. Installation of Dos/Windows 3.1x Driver

Before installing the audio drivers from the CD-ROM, a CD-ROM drive must be installed and working properly in your system. If you have not yet installed a CD-ROM drive and associated driver, refer to your CD-ROM drive’ s documentation for instructions. Use the diskette provided with the CD-ROM drive to install the needed driver. To install the audio drivers from the CD-ROM:

• Start your system.

• Insert the QDI Mainboard Utility CD into your CD-ROM drive.

• At the DOS prompt, change to the drive containing your CD-ROM. For example, type D:.

• Change to the directory \DevDrv\Sound\Yamaha\Driver\RealDOS.

• Type INSTALL, then press <Enter>.

• Follow the instructions presented on the screen to complete the installation.

3. Installation of Windows NT 4.0 Driver

There are two ways to install the WindowsNT 4.0 drivers. One is by using normal audio installation of Windows NT4.0. Another is by using the Yamaha Driver Installer, direct the path to D:\DevDrv\Sound\Yamaha\ Driver\InstNT and run setup.exe.

Normal Audio Installation under Windows NT 4.0

• Log on to Windows NT 4.0.

• Insert the QDI Mainboard Utility CD into the CD-ROM drive.

• Double click the Multimedia icon in the Control Panel, then click on the Devices tab.

• Press the ADD button, and select “Unlisted or Updated Drivers”, then press the OK

button.

• A dialog box appears requesting the path of the location for the drivers. Click the

Browse button and direct the path to D:\DevDrv\Sound\Yamaha\Driver\winNT.

• The Add Unlisted or Updated Driver window then appears prompting you to select a

language. Click on the desired language in the list then click on the OK button.
