BIOS Setup

BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as
disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and
password protection as well as special support for detailed
fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

Medix 1700SF BIOS Set up

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying
the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the
system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer,
the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key
immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a
little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test)
will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from
invoking the Setup. If you still wish to ent er Setup, restart the
system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also
restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The
following message will appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter>
to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1>
for help and <Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will
appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from
various setup functions and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the
control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just
below the control keys section, there is another section, which
displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list.

Note: If the system cannot boot after making and

saving system changes with Setup, the Award
BIOS supports an override to the CMOS
settings that resets your system to its default.

Warning: It is strongly recommended that you avoid

making any changes to the chipset defaults.
These defaults have been carefully chosen by
both Award and your system manufacturer to
provide the absolute maximum performance
and reliability. Changing the defaults could
cause the system to become unstable and
crash in some cases.

This field, by default, is enabled.

OnChip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE

The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface
with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate
each channel separately.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster.
Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that
transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO (Programmed
Input/Output) allows the BIOS to communicate with the
controller and CPU directly.

The 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.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA

These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to
33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto
and Disabled.

C. Watchdog Timer Configuration

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a
user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the
prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes
trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the
timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven.
Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at
regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.
