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 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 write down the checksum of this BIOS which is included in readme file.

5. Reboot the system from the bootable diskette which you have 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.

Manual for ZillioX 9

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”

When HDD type is set as “user”, the “MODE” option will be available for users to select their own HDD mode.

Manual for ZillioX 9

Page 41

Chapter 3

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 recognizing 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.
