WATCH OUT !!!

1. Please refer to your processor installation or other
documentation attached with your CPU for detailed
installing instruction.

2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary
for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Uncor­rected installation may result in overheating and
damage of your CPU.

3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from
BIOS program, user SHOULD make sure of correct
specification both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO.
Uncorrected setting may cause damage to your
CPU.

sure that all pins are aligned.

• Remindering that your power supply should support at least 10mA on
the 5V standby voltage. It may cause an difficulty to power on the
system if the power supply can’t support the load.

• For Wake On LAN function, the power supply should support at least
720mA current.

CHAPTER 4

BIOS SETUP

4-1 INTRODUCE THE BIOS

• BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is sometimes call ROM
BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip on the
motherboard. BISO is the first program to run when you turn on your
computer.

• BIOS performs the followin functions:

1. Initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process
called “POST”, for Power On Self Test)

2. Loading and running your operating system.

3. Managing SETUP for making changes in your computer.

4. Helping your operating system and application programs to man­age your PC hardware by means of a set of routiness called BIOS
Run-Time Services.

4-2 WHAT IS BIOS SETUP

• Setup is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:

1. Changing the hardware on your system. (for example: installing
a new Hard Disk, etc.)

2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (for example: changing
the system time or date, or turning special features on or off,
etc.)

3. Enhancing your computer’s behavior. (for example: speeding up
performance by turning on shadowing or caching.)

4-3 HOW TO RUN BIOS SETUP

• One way of running SETUP is to press a special function key or key
combination during POST, before the operating system is loaded During
POST, the BIOS usually displays a prompt such as:

Press DEL to enter SETUP

22

4-4 WHAT IS CMOS

• CMOS is a special kind of memory maintained by a battery after you
turn your computer off. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you
selected in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the intermal clock. Every
time you turn on your computer, the BIOS looks in CMOS for the set­tings you selected and configures your computer accordingly. If the bat­tery charge runs too low, the CMOS content will be lost and POST will
issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this
happens, you may have to replace the battery. After the battery is
replaced, the proper settings will need to be stored in SETUP.

4-5 WHAT IS POST

• POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. It is a traditional name for
the routines that the BIOS uses to test and initializes the devices on your
system when the PC is powered on. Its meanings has grown to include
anything the BIOS does before the operating system is started.
Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, an unique number
which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.

4-6 UPDATE THE BIOS

• AWDFLASH.EXE is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that updates
the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM
on the motherboard. This file only works in DOS mode. To determine the
BIOS version, check the release date displayed on the top of your screen
during bootup. Newer dates represents a newer BIOS file.

56H5 / 56H1

4-6.1 BEFORE UPDATE THE BIOS

• It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard
BIOS along with a Flash EPROM Programming Utility (AWDFLASH.
EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS
later.

4-6.2 UPDATE YOUR BIOS

1. Specify FLOPPY as the first device in the bootup sequence from the

BIOS setup.

2. Put a empty 1.44” floppy disk into the floppy drive A:\.

3. Type FORMAT A:\ /S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable

system floppy disk.

4. Put the Supplier CD into the CD-ROM drive, assuming that D:\ is

23

56H5 / 56H1

your CD-ROM drive.

5. Type COPY D:\UTILITY\AWDFLASH.EXE A:\ to copy the file

AWDFLASH.EXE from CD-ROM to floppy disk,

6. Reboot your system from the floppy disk.

7. In the DOS mode, type awdflash xxx.bin /sn/py/cc/r and then press

<Enter> to run flash program. (xxx.bin is depended on your
motherboard model)

The parameters of AWDFLASH.EXE

/sn : No original BIOS backup
/py : Program flash memory
/cc : Clear CMOS data after programming
/r : Reset system after programming

NOTE: User can type AWDFLASH /? to get further details about

parameters. Wrong usage of parameter will damage the BIOS
information, so that we strongly recommend user to leave pa­rameters away unless you realize them.

8. Then appears a program window as below:

9. After updated, the system will reboot automatically.

10. Attention! You will see a message “ CMOS checksum error -

Defaults loaded “ during booting. Please press <Del> to run BIOS
program, then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” and save it.

4-6.3 COMMON ERRORS

• Insufficient memory:

It means that there may be one or more memory managers have been
loaded from floppy disk during booting. For solving this error, please

24

prefer the former page step 2. to format a pure bootable floppy disk.

• BIOS part number doesn’t match:

When the BIOS chip is damaged, it will trigger this error. The only way
to solve it is to change a new BIOS chip.

4-7 CMOS SETUP UTILITY

This VIA82C693A chipset Apollo Pro-Plus comes with the AWARD

BIOS from AWARD Software Inc. Enter the AWARD BIOS program
Main Menu by:

1. Turn on or reboot the system. After a series of diagnostic checks, the
following message will appear:

PRESS <DEL> TO ENTER SETUP

2. Press the <DEL> key and the main program screen will appear as
follows:

3. Using the arrows on your keyboard, select an option, and press
<Enter>. Modify the system parameter to reflect the options installed
in your system.

4. You may return to the Main Menu anytime be pressing <ESC>.

5. In the Main Menu, “SAVE AND EXIT SETUP” saves your changes
and reboots the system, and “EXIT WITHOUT SAVING” ignores your
changes and exits the program.

4-7.1 STANDARD CMOS SETUP

Standard CMOS Setup allows you to record some basic system hard-

ware configuration and set the system clock and error handling. You
only need to modify the configuration values of this option when you
change your system hardware configuration or the configuration stored
in the CMOS memory gets lost or damaged.

Run the Standard CMOS Setup as follows:

1. Choose “STANDARD CMOS SETUP” from the Main Menu and a
screen with a list of options will appear.

2. Use one of the arrow keys to move between options and modify the
selected options by using PgUp/PgDn/+/- keys.

system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power manage­ment mode nor awaken it.

prompting you to confirm the password:

“Confirm Password:”

4. Enter the same password “exactly” as you just typed again to
confirm the password and press <Enter>.

5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.

6. If you need to delete the password you entered before, choose the
Supervisor Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password
