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.
BIOS Setup
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 enter 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 that 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.

BIOS SETUP
Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the Server Motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

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 Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests 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
.
Hyper-Threading Technology
This field enables or disables the Hyper-Threading feature that is available with CPUs of 3.06GHz speeds (Pentium

(MPS) that the board will use. MPS version 1.4 added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations and improve future expandability. It is also required for a secondary PCI bus to work without the need for a bridge. Newer versions of server operating systems will generally support MPS 1.4.
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to access memory. The default setting is
Non-OS/2
.

DRAM Timing Control
This field presents several options to configure the DRAM timing.
DRAM Data Integrity Mode
This BIOS feature controls the ECC feature of the memory controller.
ECC, which stands for Error Checking and Correction, enables the memory controller to detect and correct single-bit soft memory errors.
The memory controller will also be able to detect double-bit errors although it will not be able to correct them. This provides increased data integrity and system stability. However, this feature can only be enabled if you are using special ECC memory modules.
System BIOS Cacheable
The setting of
Enabled
allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at
F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
Video BIOS Cacheable
The Setting
Enabled
allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at
C0000h-F7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select
Enabled
to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1.
Delay Prior to Thermal
This field activates the CPU thermal function after the systems boots for the set number of minutes. The options are
