Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or
conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the
base memory typically is 512K for systems with 512K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K or
more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is exists in
the system during the POST. This is the amount of memory
located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address
space. This memory can be used for different applications.
DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base
memory free for application programs. Most use of this area
is for Shadow RAM.
Total Memory
System total memory is the sum of basic memory, extended
memory and other memory.

This section allows you to configure the system based on specific features of
the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to
system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also
coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI
bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered.
The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best
operating condition for your system. The only time you might consider
making any change would be if you discovered data lost while using your
system.
DRAM settings
The first chipset setting deals with CPU access to dynamic random
access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been careful
chosen, and should be altered if data is losing. Such a scenario might
occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that a
greater delay may be require to preserve the integrity of the data held in
the slower memory chips.
Auto Configuration
Values are pre-defined for DRAM and cache. The timing is set according
to CPU type & system clock.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Note: When this item is enabled, the pre-defined items become SHOWONLY.
DRAM Timing
The DRAM timing controlled by the DRAM Timing Register inside the
chip. Depend on the system design, appropriate timing will de
programmed into the register. A slower rate may be required in certain
system designs to support loose layout or slower memory.
60ns

DRAM Timing Type.
DRAM Timing Type.
DRAM RAS# precharge time
DRAM must be refreshed constantly or it will lose its data. Normally,
DRAM is refreshed entirely after a single request. This option allows
you to determine the number of CPU clock allocated for the Row Address
Strobe to accumulate its charge before the DRAM is refreshed. If there
is no sufficient time, refresh may be uncompleted and data may lose.

Seven clocks leadoff for reads and six clocks leadoff for writes.
Six clocks leadoff for reads and five clocks leadoff for writes.
Fast RAS# to CAS# delay
When DRAM is accessed, both the rows and the columns are addressed
separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the
transition from Row Address Strobe (RAS) to Column Address Strobe
(CAS).
3
Three CPU clock delay.
2
Two CPU clock delay.
DRAM Read <EDO/FPM>
This function sets the timing for burst mode reads from two different
DRAM(EDO/FPM). Burst read and write requests generated by the
CPU in four separate parts. The first part provides the location within
the DRAM where the read or write takes place while the remaining
three parts provide the actual data. The lower the numbers of the
timing, the faster the system will address memory.

DRAM write burst timing
This function sets the timing of burst mode writes to DRAM. Burst read
and write requests generated by the CPU in four separate parts. The
first part provides the location within the DRAM where the read or write
takes place while the remaining three parts provide the actual data. The
lower the number of the timing, the faster the system will address
memory.

Turbo read leadoff
The turbo read leadoff may be required in certain system design to
support layouts or faster memories.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
DRAM speculative leadoff
The 430HX chipset allows DRAM’s read request to be generated slightly
before the address is fully decoded. This can reduce all read latencies.
The CPU will issue a read request that includes the place (address) in
memory where the desired data to be found. This request is received
by the DRAM controller. When the speculative Leadoff is enabled, the
DRAM controller will issue a read command slightly before it finishes
determining the address.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Turn-Around insertion
When this is enabled, the chipset will insert one extra clock to the turnaround of back-to-back DRAM cycles.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
ISA Clock
This item allows you to select the ISA clock speed.

Video BIOS Cacheable
As with caching the System BIOS above, enabling the Video BIOS cache
will cause access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H to C7FFFH to be
cached, if the cache controller is also enabled.
Enabled
Disabled
Video BIOS access cached
Video BIOS access not cached
8 Bit I/O recovery time
The recovery time is the length of time which the system delays after
the completion of an input/output request. It is measured by the CPU
clocks. This delay takes place because the CPU is operating much faster
than the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the
completion of the I/O.
This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 8 bit I/O.
Choices are from NA, 1 to 8 CPU clocks.
16 Bit I/O recovery time
This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16 bit I/O.
Choices are from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.
Memory hole at 15M-16M
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory has been
reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory
space less then 16 MB.
Enabled

IDE PIO
IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives.
These drives have a master/slave relationship determined by the cabling
configuration that is used to attach them to the controller. Your system
supports one IDE controller, so the system support up to two separate
hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS
issues a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk
drive. PIO allows the BIOS to communicate with IDE controller, and
then lets the controller and the CPU performs a complete task by
themselves. This is simpler and more efficient (and faster).
Your system supports five modes, numbered 0 (default) to 4, which
stand for five different timings. When Auto is selected, the BIOS selects
the best available mode.
On-Chip Primary PCI IDE
As stated above, your system includes two built-ins IDE controllers, both
of which operate on the PCI bus. This setup item allows you to enable
or disable the primary controller. You can choose to disable the

When this mode is enabled, after a set time of system being inactive, the
CPU clock will run at slower speed while all other devices still operate at
full speed.
Standby Mode
When this mode is enabled, after a set time of system being inactive, the
fixed disk drive and the video will shout off while all other devices still
operate at full speed.
Suspend Mode
When this mode is enabled, after a set time of system being inactive, all
devices except the CPU will shutoff.
HDD Power Down
When this mode is enabled, after a set time of system being inactive, the
hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices remain
active.
Power Down & Resume Events
Power Down and Resume events are I/O events whose occurrence can
prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken
the system from such a mode. In the effect, the system remains alert
for anything that occurs to a device that is configured as On, even when
the system is in a power down mode.
The following is a list of IRQ, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted
as much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O
device wants to get the attention of the operating system, it signals this by
causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to
respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
Same as the above, the choices are On and Off. Off is the default.
When it is set Off, this function will neither prevent the system from going
into a power management mode nor awake the system.

If you have equipped your system with a PCI IDE controller and specify
the location of PCI SLOTx, the BIOS will assign IRQ14 for primary IDE
INT#, IRQ 15 for secondary IDE INT#.
If you set this option as ISA, the BIOS will not assign any IRQs even if
PCI IDE card is found, because some IDE cards connect the IRQ14 and
IRQ15 directly from the ISA slot through a cord. ( This cord is called
Legacy Header).

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA & LARGE
NORMAL mode
This is a generic access mode, neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller can
make any transformation during access the HDD.
The maximum numbers of cylinders, head and sectors for NORMAL mode
are 1024, 16 & 63.

528 Megabytes
If user set 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
This is a new HDD accesses method to overcome the 528 Megabytes
bottleneck. The number of cylinders, heads & sectors shown in the setup
may not be the number physically contained in the HDD.
During the HDD accessing, the IDE controller transforms the logical
address described by sector, head & cylinder number into its own
physical address inside the HDD.
The maximum HDD size supported by the LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes
that obtained by the following formula:
no. Cylinder

LARGE mode
This is an Extended HDD access mode supported by Award Software.
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinders without LBA
support(in some cases, users do not want LBA). The Award BIOS
provides an alternative to support these kinds of HDD.
Example of the LARGE mode:

multiplied by 2. A reverse transformation process is made inside
INT13h in order to access the right HDD address.

(3) Remarks
In order to support the LBA or the LARGE mode of HDDs, some
software must be involved in the BIOS. All of the software are located in the
Award HDD Service Routine(INT 13h).If your system is under an Operating
System that replaces the whole INT 13h, you may not be able to access a HDD
with LBA (LARGE) mode.
