BIOS Settings
The SD39P2 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify basic
system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains Setup information even if the system power is turned off.
The system BIOS manages and executes a variety of hardware related functions
including:
System date and time
Hardware execution sequence
Power management functions
Allocation of system resources
Enter the B IOS
To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:
Step1. Power on the computer. The system will perform its POST (Power-On
Self Test) routine checks.
Step2. Press the <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:
Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>,
<Esc> keys
Note 1. If you miss the train of words mentioned in step2 (the message disap-
pears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup,
restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and
ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the
computer’s front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.
Note 2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not boot, the
screen will prompt an error message, and you will be given the
following options:
"Press F1 to Continue, DEL to Enter Setup”
Step3. When you enter the BIOS program, the CMOS Setup Utility will display the
Main Menu, as shown in the next section.

The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure a ll of th e boot a nd Plug -an d-P lay c omp at ibl e de vic es.
However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a
Plug-and-Play operating system such as Windows 95.
If you set this field to "manual" , choose specific resources by going into
each of the sub-menu that follows this field (a sub-menu is proceeded by
a ">").
Ø The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a
type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
IRQ3/4/5/7/10/11/12/14/15 assigned
This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and is
not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices is compliant with the
original PC AT bus specification; PCI/ISA PnP for devices is compliant
with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
Ø The choice: PCI Device or Reserved.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
It determines whether the MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards can work with
PCI/VGA or not. If you have MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards and PCI/VGA
Card worked, Enable this field. Otherwise, please Disable it.
Ø The choice: Enabled or Disabled.
INT Pin1~8 Assignment
Names the interrupt request(IRQ) line assigned to a device connected to
the PCI interface on your system.
Ø The choice: Auto, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15.
********** PCI Express relative items **********
Maximum Payload Size
Set maximum TLP payload size for the PCI Express devices.
The unit is byte.
Ø The choice: 4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256 or 128.

@ Frequency/Voltage Control
Spread Spectrum
This item allows you to enable or disable the spread spectrum modulation.
Ø The choice: Disabled or Enabled.
DRAM Timing Selectable
The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed
memory chips(DRAM). It is recommended that you don't change the value
from the factory setting unless you install new memory that has a different
performance rating than the original DRAMs.
Ø The Choice: Manual or By SPD
CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of CAS latency clock
cycles depends on the DRAM timing. It is recommended don't change
this field from the default value specified.
Ø The Choice: Auto, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
DRAM RAS # to CAS # Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Faster performance is gained at high speed, more stable performance, at low speed.
This field is applied only when synchronous DRAM
is installed in the system.
Ø The Choice: Auto, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

DRAM RAS # Precharge
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may not complete, and the DRAM
may fail to retain data. High gives faster performance; and Slow gives
more stable performance. This field is applicable only when synchronous
DRAM is installed in the system.
Ø The Choice: Auto, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Precharge delay (tRAS)
This item allows you to set Precharge delay (tRAS).
Ø The Choice: 4~18 or Auto.
System Memory Frequency
This item allows you to set System Memory Frequency.
Ø The Choice: 533MHz, 667MHz,800MHz or Auto.
****** Clock ******
CPU Clock Ratio
This item allows the user to adjust CPU Clock Ratio.
If CPU is unlocked, item appear.
Ø The Choice: 8X~50X.
CPU Clock
This item allows the user to adjust CPU Host Clock.
Min: 133 Max: 400
Ø Key in a DEC number: (Between Min and Max.)
PCIEX CLK
This item allows you to set PCIEX CLK.
Ø The choice: Fixed 100 MHz or Sync by CPU clock.
****** Voltage ******
CPU Voltage set
This item allows you to set CPU Voltage.
Ø The choice: +25mv~800mV or Auto.
DDR2 Voltage set
This item allows you to set DDR2 Voltage.
Ø The choice: Auto, 2.0V, 2.2V or 2.4V.

@ Set Supervisor/User Password
Steps to set supervisor/user password are described as follows:
@ Load Fail-Safe Defaults
When you press <Enter> on this item, you will get a confirmation
dialog box with a message similar to:
Load Fail-Safe Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing 'Y' loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal
performance system operations.
@ Load Optimized Defaults
When you press <Enter> on this item, you will get a confirmation
dialog box with a message similar to:
Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing 'Y' loads the default values that are factory-set for optimal
performance system operation.

English
New Password Setting:
1. While pressing <Enter> to set a password, a dialog box appears to
ask you enter a password.
2. Key in a new password. The password can not exceed eight characters.
3. System will request you to confirm the new password again.
4. When completed, new code takes effect.
No Password Setting:
5. If you want to delete the password, just press the <Enter> key
instead of typinga new password. Follow the procedure as ablve.
If You Forget Password:
6. If you forget your password, you must turn off the system and clear
CMOS. Please refer to the tech notes at the end of section two for more
information.
@ Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing "Y" stores the selections made in the menus of CMOS - a special
section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next
time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the
system is restarted again.
@ Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
This allows you to exit from Setup without storing in CMOS any change.
The previous selections remain in effect. This exits from the Setup utility
and restarts your computer.
