CHAPTER 4
BIOS SETUP
4-1 INTRODUCE THE BIOS
• BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is sometimes called ROM
BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip on the
motherboard. BIOS is the first program to run when you turn on your
computer.
• BIOS performs the following 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. Helping your operating system and application programs to manage your
PC hardware by means of a set of routines called BIOS Run-Time Service.
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 sys-
tem time or date, or turning special features on or off etc,.)
3. Enhancing your computer’s behavior. (for example: speeding up perfor-
mance 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
4-4 WHAT IS CMOS
• CMOS is a special kind of memory maintained by a battery after you turn
your computer of f. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you selected
in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you
turn on your computer, the BIOS Looks in CMOS for the settings you se-
36
Page 37
65MV/65MV-X
lected 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’s 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 BIOS UPGRADE
• Motherboards incorporate the system BIOS in a Flash memory component.
Flash BIOS allows user upgrades without the need to replace an EPROM
component.
• The upgrade utility fits on a floppy diskette and provides the capability to
save, verify, and update the system BIOS. The upgrade utility can be run
from a hard disk drive or a network drive, but no memory managers can be
installed during upgrades.
4-6.1 BEFORE UPGRADE 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 UPGRADE PROCESS
• “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.
37
Page 38
65MV/65MV-X
Create a Boot Floppy (using a DOS system to create the bootable floppy)
• Place an unformatted floppy diskette in the floppy drive and format the
floppy using the /S option.
Example: format a: /s
• Alternatively, place a formatted floppy in the floppy drive and use the “sys”
command.
Example: sys a:
Create the BIOS Upgrade Floppy Diskette
• Download both the newest BIOS file and AWDFLASH.EXE file via
motherboard maker’s website.
• The BIOS file you downloaded will be a *.bin format.
• Copy those two indispensable files to a bootable formatted floppy diskette.
• Place the bootable floppy containing the BIOS into Drive A: of the system
that you want ot upgrade and boot the system while thefloppy diskette is in
the drive.
• When booting is finished, type awdflash *.bin /sn/py/cc/r and then press
<Enter> to run BIOS upgrade program. (*.bin depends on your motherboard
model and version code)
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 their function.
38
Page 39
65MV/65MV-X
• Then appears a program window as below:
• After upgraded, the system will reboot itself automatically.
• NOTE: You will see a message “CMOS checksum error - Default loaded”
during booting the system. Please press <Del> to run BIOS program,
then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” and save this change.

The following is a list of IRQ’s (Interrupt ReQuests), which can be exempted
much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device
wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing
an IRQ to occur. When the operating 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.

• These two options allow you to set your sysem 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 enterd characters.

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 Super-
visor 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, other-
wise the old password will still be there the next time you turn your system
on.
8. Press <Enter> 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. All setup informations will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.
NOTE: You determine when the password is required within the
Advanced BIOS Features and its Security option.If the
Security option is set to “system”, the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
