Chapter 2
Hardware Setup
There are two ways to set the CPU type and both ways are
controlled by JP10, JP11, JP12, and JP13:
1. Use jumpers (hardware): JP10 ~ JP13 must be set. Refer
to the following pages (page 5~7).
2. Use BIOS (jumperless): JP10 ~ JP13 must be all closed at
pin 1-2 (default). Refer to “CPU SPEED SETTING”
or “CHIPSET FEATURE SETUP” section for detail
description.

System Memory Configuration
This 82440ZX motherboard supports 168 pin DIMM of 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB to form a memory size
between 8MB to 768MB (EDO) or 512MB(SDRAM).
82440ZX chipsets provide “Table- Free” function. It means that
users can install DRAM with any configuration and in any bank,
and that is why the DRAM table is not needed, but do remember
that the DRAM must be 3.3V Unbuffered and 4 clock type.

partition table.
Disabled: No warning message
will appear when there is
something attempting to
access the boot sector or
hard disk partition table
Note: Many diagnostic (or boot
manager) programs which

8 Bit I/O Recovery This delay happens when the CPU
Time is running so much faster than the
I/O bus that the CPU must be
16 Bit I/O Recovery delayed to allow for the completion
Time of the I/O.
The choices for 8 bit I/O are NA, 1
to 8 CPU clock. Default is 3.
The choices for 16 bit I/O are NA, 1
to 4 CPU clock. Default is 2.

are allowed during passive release.
Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another
PCI master access to local DRAM.

provide this feature.
35
IDE Primary Choose Auto (default) or Mode 0~4.
Master/Slave PIO The BIOS will detect the HDD Mode
IDE Secondary type automatically when you
Master/Slave PIO choose Auto. You need to set to a

Supervisor/User Password
These two options allow you to set your system passwords.
Normally, the supervisor has a higher ability to change the
CMOS setup option than the user. The way to set up the
passwords for both Supervisor and User are as follows:
1. Choose “Change Password” in the Main Menu and press
<Enter>. The following message appears:
“Enter Password:”
2. The first time you run this option, enter your password
up to 8 characters and press <Enter>. The screen
does not display the entered characters.

appears 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 that you had before.
7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option
you did, otherwise the old password will still be there
the next time you turn your machine on.
8. Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.
Note: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access
the system is to clear the CMOS RAM by setting JBAT1.
All setup information will be lost and you need to run the
BIOS setup program again.
38
IDE HDD Auto Detection
IDE HDD Auto Detection detects the parameters of an IDE
hard disk drive and automatically enters them to the
Standard CMOS Setup screen.
The screen will ask you to select a specific hard disk for
Primary Master after you select this option. If you accept a
hard disk detected by the BIOS, you can enter “Y” to
confirm and then press <Enter> to check next hard disk.
This function allows you to check four hard disks and you
may press the <ESC> after the <Enter> to skip this function
and go back to the Main Menu.
Save & Exit Setup
Save & Exit Setup allows you to save all modifications you
have specified into the CMOS memory. Highlight this
option on the Main Menu and the following message
appears:
SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Press <Enter> key to save the configuration changes.
Exit Without Saving
Exit Without Saving allows you to exit the Setup utility
without saving the modifications that you have specified.
Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following
message appears:
Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
You may change the prompt to “Y” and press the <Enter> key
to leave this option.
