CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

The mainboard is a high-performance personal computer mainboard based on the Pentium II processor. The mainboard uses the highly integrated VIA APOLLO PRO 133 (VT82C693A) AGPset which optimize the system bandwidth and concurrency with the implementation of Quad port Acceleration (QPA).QPA provides 4-port concurrent arbitration of the processor bus, graphics, PCI bus and SDRAM. The VT82C596B chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM (OS Direct Power Management) function. The VT82C596B chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by supporting Ultra DMA /66 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 66 MB/s.

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power on Self Test) of the BIOS.

Page 11

SuperTek

Base Memory

The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for system with 640K r more memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above IMB in the CPU's

memory address map.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for application programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area since this is where it shadows RAM.

3.3 BIOS Features Setup

This section allows you to configure your system for basic operation. You have the opportunity to select the system's default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation, shadowing and security.

Gate A20 Option

This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbytes. Initially, the gate A20 was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20.

Normal Keyboard Fast chipset

Typematic Rate setting

This determined if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. In other words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down.

Page 13

When the typematic rate is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin the report that the key has been depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.

POWER OFF SYSTEM

There are two ways to power off the system. They are "Power Button" and "OS". (such as windows® 95 and windows® 98, after you shut down the OS the system will power off automatically).

POWER ON SYSTEM

This mainboard provides several ways to power on a system that includes "BUTTON ONLY", "Password", "Hot KEY", "Mouse Left" and "Mouse Right". After this mainboard has been assembled in a system, depend on the different system configuration there are several ways to power on the system. Every way has one or more condition(s) or restriction(s) to achieve its function. Please read the following description refer proceeding.

POWER BUTTON

This is an overrideable button. Please refer to page 3-6 for detailed function description. Note that, if the CMOS setup item "POWER ON Function" is set as "Password" (which located at "INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS", please refer to page 3-5) this button will lose power on function (the power off function is always valid).

KEYBOARD (PASSWORD OR HOT KEY)

Depend on the different CMOS setup, there are two ways to power on by keyboard they are "Password" and "Hot KEY". No matter the setup is "Password" and "Hot KEY", every time if you change this setup item, the functions will become effective after next time the keyboard has been initiated during POST (Power On Self Test). Anytime if you forget the "Password", just disconnect the AC power abort 30-60 seconds then re-connect the AC power, the power button will restore its function and you have a chance to use the power button to turn on the system.

PS/2 (MOUSE LEFT OR MOUSE RIGHT)

Depend on the different CMOS setup, you could use the "Left Key" or "Right Key" PS/2 mouse to turn on the system.

When you use this function you must click the mouse key quickly and continually until the system power on, usually, that maybe need 2-5 times clicked. No matter the setup is "Mouse Right" or "Mouse Left", every time if you change this setup item, the functions will become effective after next time the keyboard has been initiated during POST (Power On Self Test). This function is unavailable while using a COM (serial) port mouse.

PCI Slot IDE 2nd Channel

This item allows you designate an IDE controller board inserted into one of the physical PCI slots as your secondary IDE controller.

Enabled External IDE controller designated as the

secondary controller

Disabled No IDE controller occupying a PCI slot.

Enabled is the default.

IDE PIO

IDE hard drive controller can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master / slave relationship which are determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers-a primary and a secondary-so you have to ability to install up to four separate hard disks.

PIO means Programmed Input / Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by themselves. This simpler and more efficient (and faster).

Your system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode. This is true for the next four setup items.

1. IDE Primary Master PIO

2. IDE Primary Slave PIO

3. IDE Secondary Master PIO

4. IDE Secondary Slave PIO

On-Chip IDE Channel 0

As stated above, your system includes two built-in IDE controllers, both of which operate on the PCI bus. This setup item allows you either to enable or disable the primary controller. You might choose to disable the controller if you were to add a higher performance or specialized controller.

Enabled Primary HDD controller used-Default

Disabled Primary HDD controller not used.

On-Chip IDE Channel 1

As above for the Primary controller, this setup item you either to enable or disable the secondary controller. You might choose to disable the controller if you were to add a higher performance or specialized controller.

Enabled Primary HDD controller used

Disabled Primary HDD controller not used.

MODEN RING-IN

If you have an external MODEN connected to COM A or COM B port, you could power on the system by MODEM via a phone called. For this function you must set the COMS setup item "Resume buy Ring or LAN" to "enabled". Every time if you change this setup item, the function will become effective after next time the "DMI pool data" has been verified. The system will verify the DMI pool data just before loading the OS (operating system). This function will be malfunction if any time the system has been power on but the DMI pool data has not been verified. This function is unavailable while using an internal MODEM card.

WAKE ON LAN

There is a WOL connector (WOL) on mainboard is for connecting a signal cable from a LAN card that supports a Wake On LAN feature. When a LAN card that supports this is installed and connected to the mainboard via this connector, the system will power on when the remote system is access via the LAN. For this function you must set the CMOS setup item "Resume buy Ring or LAN" to "enabled". Every time if you change this setup item, the function will become effective after next time the "DMI pool data" has been verified. The system will verify the DMI pool data just before loading the OS (operating system). This function will be malfunction if any time the system has been power on but the DMI pool data has not been verified.

Power Management

This category allows you select the type (or degree) of power saving and is directly related to the following modes:

1. Doze Mode 3. Suspend Mode

2. Standby Mode

4. HDD Power Down

Page 19

There are four selections for Power Management, three of which have fixed mode settings

Disable (default) No power management. Disables all four modes

Min. Power Saving Minimum power management. Doze Mode=1hr.

Standby Mode = 1hr., Suspend Mode =1 hr., and HDD Power Down = 15 min.

Max. Power Saving Maximum power management -ONLY

AVAILABLE FOR SL CPU'S. Doze Mode =1 min., Standby Mode =1 min., Suspend Mode =1 min., and HDD Power Down =1 min.

User Defined Allows you to set each mode individually. When not

disabled, each of the ranges are from 1 min. to 1 from 1 min. to 15 min. and disable.

PM Control APM

When enabled, an Advanced Power Management device will be activated to enhance the Max. Power Saving mode and stop the CPU internal clock.

Standby Mode

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the fixed disk drive and the video would be shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed.

Suspend Mode

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off.

HDD Power Down

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices remain active.

Power Down & Resume Events

Power Down and Resume events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured a On, even when the system is in a power down mode.

3.7 Setup PnP/PCI Configuration

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

Choices are Level (default) and Edge .

PCI IDE IRQ MAP to This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use. By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) device rather than a PCI controller. The more apparent difference is the type of slot being used.

If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A,B,C or D) is associated with the connected hard drives.

Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk itself, rather than individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard disk drivers, you can select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than the secondary as described in "Slot x Using INT#" above. Selecting "PCI Auto" allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk system is configured.

3.8 Update BIOS Procedure

1.Find out what the exact model name and PCB version of your motherboard

is. You can see these words on the top left of the screen when you

just

boot up your computer.

2.Create an empty bootable disk by typing the following command: format a:/s (The reason for doing this is that the Award flash utility can only work well when there are no memory drivers installed or any other program to be running in the background).

3.In order to update your BIOS, you will need two files: a. The BIOS binary file (***.bin) b. The Award Flash BIOS Utility file (awdflash.exe)

4.Download the correct BIOS file (***.exe) you need from our web site.

5.Execute the BIOS file, then it will automatically self-decompress into a binary file and an Award flash BIOS utility file.

6.Now copy both of the files onto the bootable disk that was created by previous step.

7.Next, shut down your computer properly, then restart your computer using this disk and run AWDFLASH.EXE

8.Now you will see the Flash Memory Writer menu on your screen. The program will ask for the File Name to Program. Type in the exact name of the BIOS update binary file (***.bin), and press ENTER. (P-1)
