Motherboard Description

Primary and Secondary E-IDE Connectors

Your motherboard has two built-in PCI E-IDE interfaces (primary and secondary). Each interface supports up to two IDE drives (master and slave). After connecting the one end of the IDE ribbon cable to the primary or secondary E-IDE connector on the motherboard, connect the connector(s) at the other end to your IDE drive(s) such as the hard disk drive or CD-ROM drive.

If you install two hard disks by using one IDE ribbon cable, you must configure the second drive to slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. See the manual of your hard disk for the jumper settings.

You may configure two hard disk drives to be both masters by connecting one ribbon cable (one hard disk drive will be attached to it) to the primary E-IDE connector and another ribbon cable (the other hard disk drive will be attached to it) to the secondary IDE connector. When you install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on the other IDE drive, you can select the boot device through the Setup program.

The BIOS in the motherboard supports boot up from IDE CD-ROM drive, floptical drive, SCSI drive or network drive. So, you can select a CD-ROM drive or floptical drive as a boot device by setting the 1st/2nd /3rd Boot Device option to CD-ROM or Floptical in the Advanced Setup menu of the Setup program.

NOTE : The hard disk drive controller on the motherboard supports Ultra DMA/ 33, a DMA data transfer protocol for hard disk drives. This allows DMA commands to transfer data at a maximum burst rate of 33MB/sec. Both the controller and the hard disk must be capable of supporting Ultra DMA/33 in order to enable this feature.

Using the Setup Program

Using the CMOS Setup Program

About the Setup ProgramAbout the Setup Program

About the Setup Program

This chapter explains how to use the CMOS Setup program. You can use the Setup program to change the computer's configuration information and boot-up sequence, etc.

The Setup program is stored in the computer's read only memory (ROM), so you can run the program at any time when you turn on or reset your computer. You need not insert a diskette or access the hard disk.

The Setup program lets you verify or change the followings:

On the Setup menu, you can set up and modify some of the basic options of a system, such as time, date, diskette drives and hard disk drives.

On the Utilities menu, you can perform system functions.

On the Security menu, you can specify password that can be used to limit access to the system.

On the Default menu, you can select a group of settings for all CMOS Setup options.

The configuration you define through the Setup program is stored in a special area of memory called CMOS RAM. The battery on the main board backs up this memory, so the memory is not erased when you turn off or reset the computer. Whenever you reboot the computer, it checks the settings, and if it discovers a difference between the information in the CMOS RAM and its actual hardware configuration, it prompts you to run the Setup program.

Using the Setup Program

Type

You can choose the appropriate hard disk and CD-ROM drives type for yours.

Type : The number for a drive with certain identification parameters.

Cyl : The number of cylinders in the disk drive.

HD : The number of heads.

WP : The size of a sector gets progressively smaller as the track diameter diminishes. Yet each sector must still hold 512 bytes. Write precompensation circuitry on the hard disk compensates for the physical difference in sector size by boosting the write current for sectors on inner tracks. This parameter is the track number where write precompensation begins.

Sec : The number of sectors per track. MFM drives have 17 sectors per track. RLL drives have 26 sectors per track. ESDI drives have 34 sectors per track. SCSI and IDE drives have more sectors per track.

Size (MB) : The formatted capacity of the drive. (Size = Number of heads × Number of cylinders × Number of sectors per track × 512 bytes per sector.)

User : If you are configuring a drive with drive parameters that do not match drive types, you can select the User in the Type field. You must then enter the drive parameters on the screen that appears.

AUTO : If the hard disk drive to be configured is an IDE drive, select the appropriate drive icon (Pri Master, Pri Slave, Sec Master, or Sec Slave). Select the IDE Detect icon to automatically detect all drive parameters.

BIOS automatically detects the IDE drive parameters (including ATAPI CD-ROM drives) and displays them. Click on the OK button to accept these parameters or you can set the parameters manually if you are absolutely certain that you know the correct IDE drive parameters.

CDROM : Select the appropriate drive icon (Pri Master, Pri Slave, Sec Master, or Sec Slave). Choose the Type parameter and select CDROM. You can boot the computer from a CD-ROM drive. You can also choose Auto and let BIOS will automatically set the correct drive parameters.

Floptical : If a floptical drive is connected to the IDE connector, select FLOPTICAL for the drive. You can boot the computer from the floptical drive.
