BIOS Description
Utility Support
AWDFLASH.EXE
This is a flash memory write/read utility used for the purpose of upgrading your BIOS
when necessary. Before doing so, please note:
We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encounter problems.
Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making
mistakes, destroying the BIOS and resulting in a non-working system.
When you encounter problems, for example, you find your system does not support
the latest CPU released on our current mainboard, you may therefore upgrade the
BIOS, please don’t forget to set BIOS_WP as open and disable the “Flash Write
Protect” item in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup first.
24
Follow the steps exactly for a successful upgrade.
1. Create a bootable system floppy diskette by typing Format A:/s from the DOS
prompt under DOS6.xx or Windows 9x environment.
2. Copy AWDFLASH.EXE (version>=8.03) from the directory \Utility located on QDI
Mainboard Utility CD onto your new bootable diskette.
3. Download the updated BIOS file from the Website (http://www.qdigrp.com).
Please be sure to download the suitable BIOS file for your mainboard.
4. Decompress the file downloaded, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) onto the bootable
diskette, and note the checksum of this BIOS which is located in readme file.
5. Reboot the system from the bootable diskette created.
6. Then run the AWDFLASH utility at the A:\ prompt as shown below:
A:\AWDFLASH xxxx.bin
If you require more detailed information concerning AWDFLASH Utility, for example,
the different usage of parameters, please type A:\>AWDFLASH /?
!
Note:
1. Follow the instruction through the process. Don’t turn off
power or reset the system until the BIOS upgrade has been
completed.
2. AWDFLASH.EXE (version>=8.03) utility must be used to
upgrade the mainboard family BIOS instead of QDI flash utility.
3. BIOS version will update constantly.We will not be responsible for any BIOS description differ from your mainboard BIOS
shown.

Chapter 3
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.
CHS mode
Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any
transformation during accessing. The maximum number of cylinders, heads and
sectors for CHS mode are 1024,16 and 63.
If the user sets his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will
be 528 megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode
A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The number of cylinders, heads and sectors shown in setup may not be the number physically contained in the HDD.
During HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address described by sector, head and cylinder number into its own physical address inside
the HDD.
Large mode
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in some
cases, users do not want LBA). The Award BIOS provides another alternative to
support these kinds of HDD.
BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) into divising the number of cylinders is less than 1024
by dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2. A reverse
transformation process will be made inside INT13h in order to access the right HDD
address.
If using Auto detect, the BIOS will automatically detect the IDE hard disk mode and
set it as one of the three modes.
Remark
To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some softwares involved
which are located in Award HDD Service Routine(INT13h).It may fail to access a
HDD with LBA (LARGE) mode selected if you are running under an Operating System
which replaces the whole INT 13h.

BootEasy
BootEasy technology enormously improves the long BOOT process time of computers. Reducing the wait time every user has to suffer when starting their computer.
BIOS without BootEasy has to perform many routines every time when the system
starts, such as checking system core of the computer and initializing system peripherals. Now with the BootEasy, BIOS will not run these repetitive Processes any
longer , PC can boot-up without any redundant waiting for the displaying of starting
OS. BootEasy is quite easy to use , choose the right option in CMOS SETUP, ( refer to
QDI Innovation features) it can be easily booted quickly. BootEasy save all the information when PC first normally boot-up, and it restores all the parameters for the
system and thus let the PC boot freely and rapidly.

BIOS-ProtectEasy
The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe viruses such
as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the mainboard. If the
BIOS has been damaged, the system will be unable to boot. We provide the following
solution which protects the system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.
There are two choices which implements this function.
1.
Set the jumper (BIOS_WP) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2.
Set the jumper (BIOS_WP) as opened, meanwhile set “Flash Write Protect” as
Enabled in CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the DMI

BootEasy ist eine Neuentwicklung von Legend QDI, die neue Innovation der QDI
Easy – Technologien.
BootEasy Setup Menu
Mit der BootEasy- Technologie Technik wird der Bootvorgang nur noch vier bis fünf
Sekunden in Anspruch nehmen, bis das Betriebssystem geladen wird. Der Grund
für die lange Warterei liegt in den Routine-Abfragen, die das BIOS bei jedem Start
abarbeitet. So wird beispielsweise jedes Mal die Taktfrequenz des Prozessors geprüft
oder angeschlossene Geräte aktiviert. Die BootEasy-Technik prüft diese Punkte nur
beim erstmaligen Start des Rechners und speichert die Ergebnisse in einem Flash
ROM. Beim nächsten Start ruft das System lediglich diese Informationen aus dem
Speicher ab und kann so innerhalb von wenigen Sekunden den Boot-Prozess
abschließen. Bei Änderungen am System, beispielsweise nach dem Einbau eines
neuen Prozessors, muss deshalb zuvor die BootEasy-Funktion deaktiviert werden,
beim nächsten Start werden die neuen Informationen dann erneut abgespeichert.
Falls Fehler im Flash ROM den Bootvorgang behindern, versucht das System drei
Mal den Rechner hochzufahren, bei Misserfolg schaltet es auf die althergebrachte
Art zu booten um, das heißt, es dauert wieder ebenso lang wie früher. Anschließend
kann die BootEasy – Technik wieder aktiviert werden. Falls Fehler im Flash ROM den
