BIOS Setup
Introduction
This manual discussed Phoenix-Award™ Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The Phoenix-Award BIOS™ installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only
Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports
Intel Pentium ® 4 processor input/output system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.
Adding important has customized the Phoenix-Award BIOS™, but nonstandard, features such as virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
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 of 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.
Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations
Init Display First
This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Choices: PCI Slot (default), PCIEx, Onboard.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “ Auto (ESCD) ” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (default), Manual.
26
945GC-M7 TE
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the
“Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only configurable when
“Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.
IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device
PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers that are not VGA compatible take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watch for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the
ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable this option.
Disabled (default) Disable the function.
Enabled Enable the function.

(default), 1.80V, 2.00V, 2.10V, 2.20V, 2.30V, 2.40V, 2.50V.
Special Notice:
If unfortunately, the system’s frequency that you are selected is not functioning, there are two methods of booting-up the system.
Method 1:
Clear the COMS data by setting the JCOMS1 ((2-3) closed)) as “ON” status. All the CMOS data will be loaded as defaults setting.
Method 2:
Press the <Insert> key and Power button simultaneously, after that keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the power-on screen showed.
This action will boot-up the system according to FSB of the processor
It’s strongly recommended to set CPU Vcore and clock in default setting. If the CPU
Vcore and clock are not in default setting, it may cause CPU or M/B damage.
