Introduction to New Features
FWH(Firmware Hub) Protection
The BIOS of the mainboard is located inside the FWH. Severe viruses such as CIH virus are
so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS. If the BIOS has been damaged, the system
will be unable to boot. We provide both hardware and software solution which protects the
system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.
Here are two choices which implements this function:
1. Set the jumper (JAV) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (JAV) as open, meanwhile set “Flash Write Protect” as Enabled in
AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but DMI
information can be updated.
Refer to page 16 for detailed information on jumper setting, and page 26 for related
BIOS setting.
Suspend to RAM
Suspend to RAM is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0 specification, which makes a PC’ s
power consumption drop to the lowest possible level and enables quick wakeup.
When the system is in Suspend-to-RAM status, the system context is maintained in
system memory, the system consumes only a small fraction of the power used for
full operation. Instead of shutting down the system to save power when not in use
and then having to reboot later, Suspend-to-RAM solution enables the system to
quickly wake up, restoring all applications and features, enabling operation in a few
seconds.
To implement this function, the following requirments are essential:
1. Power supply requirements: The current of 5VSB line of the power supply should be
more than 0.75A.
4
Manual for WinneX 5
Page 25
Chapter 1
2. The BIOS option “ACPI function” should be enabled, and “ACPI Suspend Type”
should be set as S3 in AWARD BIOS CMOS setup. Refer to page 28 for detailed
information.
3. An ACPI-enabled operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000 family
is needed. In order to install ACPI-enabled Windows 98 operating system, the
setup command should be typed as shown below:
D:\SETUP /P J
For the operating system already installed, enable ACPI function through the
Microsoft HCT (Hardware Compatibility Test) installation process.
4. Two ways to enter Suspend-to-RAM status:
l Under Windows 98/Windows 2000, clicking Start — Shut down — Standby
enables the system to enter Suspend-to-RAM status.
l Under Windows 98/Windows 2000, from Power Management Properties in
Control Panel, set the continuous idle time before suspend, the system will
enter Suspend-to-RAM status when time out.
The same ways used to power up the system can be used to wake up the system
from Suspend-to-RAM status. For example, pushing the power button, through the
Wake-Up On LAN, Wake-Up On Internal/External Modem function or RTC Alarm. If
the keyboard password power-on function is enabled, the keyboard password should
be used to wake up the system instead of pushing the power button.
Ultra ATA/66
According to the previous ATA/IDE hard drive data transfer protocol, the signaling
way to send data was in synchronous strobe mode by using the rising edge of the
strobe signal. The Ultra ATA/33 protocol doubles the burst transfer rate from 16.6MB/
s to 33.3MB/s, by using both the rising and falling edges of the strobe signal, this
time Ultra ATA/66 doubles the Ultra ATA burst transfer rate once again (from 33.3MB/
s to 66.6MB/s) by reducing setup times and increasing the strobe rate. The faster
strobe rate increases EMI, which cannot be eliminated by the standard 40-pin cable
used by ATA and Ultra ATA. To eliminate this increase in EMI, a new 40-pin, 80conductor cable is needed. This cable adds 40 additional ground lines between each
of the original 40 ground and signal lines. The additional 40 lines help shield the
signal from EMI, reduce crosstalk and improve signal integrity.
Manual for WinneX 5

Page 26
Introduction
Ultra ATA/33 introduced CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check), a new feature of IDE
that provides data integrity and reliability. Ultra ATA/66 uses the same process. The
CRC value is calculated by both the host and the hard drive. After the host-request
data is sent, the host sends its CRC to the hard drive, and the hard drive compares
it to its own CRC value. If the hard drive reports errors to the host, then the host
retries the command containing the CRC error.
Ultra ATA/66 technology increases both performance and date integrity. However
there are basically five requirements for your system to run in Ultra ATA/66 mode:
1. The system board must contain a special Ultra ATA/66 detect circuit, such as
WinneX 5 mainboard.
2. The system BIOS must also support Ultra ATA/66.
3. The operating system must be capable of DMA transfers. Win95 (OSR2) and
Win98 are capable.
4. A capable Ultra ATA/66 , 40-pin, 80-conductor cable is required.
5. Ultra ATA/66 compatible IDE device such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive.

If CPU FSB is set as default setting Auto, the system detects the CPU front side bus
automatically. If CPU FSB is set as 100MHz, the system will run at 100MHz even if a
processor with 66MHz FSB is installed. Setting up to 133MHz FSB is also supported.
However, whether or not the system can be overclocked depends on your
processor’ s capability. Whether the processor is bus ratio locked or unlocked should
also be taken into account. For bus ratio unlocked processor, this overclocking feature
can be implemented by setting CPU FSB as 100/133MHz, meanwhile adjusting the bus
ratio (Multiplier) lower in “CPU SpeedEasy Setup” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Seup. We do
not guarantee the overclocking system to be stable.
FWH Protection Jumper (JAV)
The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. If the jumper JAV is set as closed, you will
be unable to flash the BIOS to the mainboard. However in this status, the system BIOS is
protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.

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:
l We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encounter 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 encounter problems, for example, you find your system does not support
the latest CPU released after our current mainboard, you may therefore upgrade the
BIOS, please don’ t forget to set JAV as open first(refer to page 16).
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>7.07) 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. Uncompress the file download, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) onto the bootable
diskette, and note the checksum of this BIOS which is included 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
We suggest you not turn off the power or reset the system until the BIOS upgrade
has been completed.
If you require detailed information concerning AWDFLASH Utility, for example, the
usage of different parameters, please type A:\>AWDFLASH /?
Note: AWDFLASH.EXE (version>7.07) utility must be used to upgrade the WinneX 5
mainboard BIOS instead of QDI flash utility. QDI flash utility —- FLASH.EXE (V1.3) does
not support the flash memory on WinneX 5 mainboard.

BIOS Description
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.
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.
