Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

3.1 BIOS Setup

This chapter describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that comes with the board.
The items covered are as follows: BIOS Introduction, BIOS Setup, Standard CMOS Setup,

Advanced BIOS Features, Advanced Chipset Features, Integrated Peripherals, Power
Management Setup, PNP/PCI Configurations, PC Health Status, Frequency/Voltage Control,
Load Fail-Safe Defaults, Load Setup Defaults, Set Supervisor/User Password, Save & Exit
Setup, and Exit without Saving.

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 standards devices, such as disk drives,
serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for
fine-tuning the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for sp ecifying the system configurations and settings.
The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you 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 to press 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 enter Setup, restart the system by the
pressing the “Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> 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.

EX-93211/93511/93711/93911User Manual

32

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 key section there is another section displaying
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 reset 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.

3.1.2 Advanced BIOS Features

This section allows you to configure and improve your system and allows you to set up some system
features according to your preference.

Virus Warning

This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against accidental modifications.
If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you
can either allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the
problem.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache/CPU L3 Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory).
CPUs from the 486 type on contain internal cache memory, and most modern PCs have additional
(external) cache memory When the CPU request data, the system transfers the requested data from
the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By default, these items are Enabled.

EX-93211/93511/93711/93911User Manual

37

Quick Power On Self Test

When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it
is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.

First/Second/Third Boot Device

These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The options
available include Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, LAN and Disable.

Boot Other Device

These fields allow the system to search for an OS from other devices other than the ones selected in
the First/Second/Third Boot Device.

Swap Floppy Drive

This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy Drive. When enabled, the
BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A.
By default, this field is set to Disabled.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

This feature controls whether the BIOS checks for a floppy drive while booting up. If it cannot detect
one (either due to improper configuration or its absence), it will flash an error message.

Boot Up NumLock Status

This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system.

Gate A20 Option

This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory
above 1MB.
