System Utilities
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required setting or to active certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the mainboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the mainboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM.
Press <Del> button when the system is turned to enter Setup. As you press the <Del> button during BIOS
POST (Power-On Self Test), it will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
Press <F12> you can then enter BIOS Boot Menu to select your boot up device.
When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings.
BIOS is a Window s-based utility that doesn’t required users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

When enabled, the processor's Ll 1 & L2 cache will be allowed to function. This allows the best possible performance from the processor.
When disabled, the processor's Level 1 cache will be disabled. The processor will bypass the
Level 1 & L2 cache and rely only on the Level 3 caches. This reduces the performance of the processor.
The recommended setting is obviously Enabled since disabling it severely affects the processor's performance. However, the
Disabled setting is useful as a troubleshooting tool, especially when you are overclocking your processor
This BIOS feature controls the functionality of the processor's Level 3 cache.
When enabled, the processor's Level 3 cache will be allowed to function. This allows the best possible performance from the processor.

Parameter
APCI Mode This option is used to set up enable or disable the APCI function
Description
MPS Version Control For OS This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies the version of the
Multi-Processor Specification (MPS) that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and build Intel architecture systems with two or more processors.
MPS 1.1 was the original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds extended configuration tables for improved support of multiple PCI bus configurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition, MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge.
If your operating system comes with support for
MPS 1.4, you should change the setting from the default of 1.1 to 1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the secondary PCI bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge.
You should only leave it as 1.1 only if you are running an older operating system that only supports MPS 1.1.
HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability This BIOS feature controls support for the hard disk's S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis And
Reporting Technology) capability.
S.M.A.R.T. is supported by all current hard disks and it allows the early prediction and warning of impending hard disk disasters. You should enable it if you want to use S.M.A.R.T.aware utilities to monitor the hard disk's condition. Enabling it also allows the monitoring of the hard disk's condition over a network.
While S.M.A.R.T. looks like a really great safety feature, it isn't really that useful or even necessary for most users. For S.M.A.R.T. to work, it is not just a matter of enabling it in the
BIOS. You must also keep a S.M.A.R.T.-aware hardware monitoring utility running in the background all the time.
Silent Boot This features allows you to enable or disable if the screen logo to display or no during POST
Small Logo (EPA) Show This BIOS feature determines if the EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) Energy Star logo will appear during the system boot-up process.
When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the
EPA Energy Star logo during the boot-up sequence.
When it is disabled, the BIOS will not display the EPA Energy Star logo during the boot-up sequence.
Please note that enabling this BIOS feature may potentially delay the boot-up process by 2-
3 seconds, which ensures that the logo is displayed for a sufficient amount of time.
Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.

Description
This item enables or disables thermal management function for CPU.
When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities.
Before it can do so, it must first query the processor to find out the highest input value
CPUID recognizes. This determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system.

C1E Function
Execute Disable Bit
Description
Also called “Enhanced Halt State” function. It is improved function for Intel (R) Pentium 4 processor C1 Halt state. The operating system will send out HLT command to the processor while the system loading is not high. This allows the processor to enter power-saving C1 halt state and to reduce the loading for the processor. Basically, C1E function is very similar to C1 Halt State. The difference is C1E function can lower down the processor’s voltage and clock rate. C1E function together with EIST can provide a better energy-saving environment for the processor.
This BIOS feature is actually a toggle for the processor's Execute Disable Bit feature. In fact, the acronym XD is short for Execute Disable and is specific to Intel's implementation. AMD's implementation is called NX, short for No
Execute.

When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages.
This provides some protection against buffer overflow attacks.
When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. This makes the processor more vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks.

It is highly recommended that you enable this
BIOS feature for increased protection against buffer overflow attacks.

System BIOS Cacheable
Description
Enabling this feature allows the caching of the motherboard
BIOS ROM from F0000h to FFFFFh by the processor's
Level 2 cache. This greatly speeds up accesses to the
BIOS.
Options
Enabled
Disabled
However, this does not translate into better system performance because modern operating systems like
Microsoft Windows XP do not need to communicate with the hardware via the BIOS. Current operating systems make use of drivers to access the hardware directly.
Therefore, it would be a waste of the Level 2 cache's bandwidth if the motherboard BIOS was cached instead of data that are more critical to the system's performance.
In addition, if any errant program writes into this memory area, it will result in a system crash. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you disable this feature for better system performance.

Certain ISA cards require exclusive access to the 1MB block of memory, from the 15th to the 16th megabyte, to work properly. This BIOS feature allows you to reserve that
1MB block of memory for such cards to use.
Options
Enabled
Disabled
If you enable this feature, 1MB of memory (the 15th MB) will be reserved exclusively for the ISA card's use. This effectively reduces the total amount of memory available to the operating system by 1MB.
Please note that in certain motherboards, enabling this feature may actually render all memory above the 15th MB unavailable to the operating system!
If you disable this feature, the 15th MB of RAM will not be reserved for the ISA card's use. The full range of memory is therefore available for the operating system to use.
However, if your ISA card requires the use of that memory area, it may then fail to work.
Since ISA cards are a thing of the past, it is highly recommended that you disable this feature. Even if you have an ISA card that you absolutely have to use, you may not actually need to enable this feature.
Most ISA cards do not need exclusive access to this memory area. Make sure that your ISA card requires this memory area before enabling this feature. You should use this BIOS feature only in a last-ditch attempt to get a stubborn ISA card to work.

Parameter Description
On-Chip Frame Buffer Size This BIOS feature controls the amount of system memory that is allocated to the integrated graphics processor when the system boots up. However, its effect depends on whether your motherboard supports the older Unified
Memory Architecture (UMA) or the new Dynamic Video
Memory Technology (DVMT).
Options
1MB, 4MB, 8MB,
16MB, 32MB,
64MB, 128MB (for
UMA)
1MB, 8MB (for
DVMT)
If you have a motherboard that supports UMA, the memory size you select determines the maximum amount of system memory that is allocated to the graphics processor. Once allocated, it can only be used as graphics memory. It is no longer accessible to the operating system or applications.
Therefore, it is recommended that you select the absolute minimum amount of system memory that the graphics processor requires for your monitor. You can calculate it by multiplying the resolution and colour depth that you are using. Of course, if you intend to play 3D games, you will need to allocate more memory.
If you have a motherboard that supports DVMT, the memory size you select determines the maximum amount of system memory that is pre-allocated to the graphics processor. Once allocated, it can only be used as graphics memory. It is no longer accessible to the operating system or applications.
However, unlike in a UMA system, this memory is only allocated for use during the boot process or with MS-DOS or legacy operating systems. Additional system memory is allocated only after the graphics driver is loaded. It is recommended that you set it to 8MB as this allows for highresolution splash screens as well as higher resolutions in
MS-DOS applications and games.

Parameter
DVMT Mode
Description
Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) is a concept whereby system memory is shared by both CPU and graphics processor. While this reduces cost, it also reduces the system's performance by taking up a large portion of memory for the graphics processor.
Options
Fixed, DVMT,
Both
Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) takes that concept further by allowing the system to dynamically allocate memory resources according to the demands of the system at any point in time. The key idea in DVMT is to improve the efficiency of the memory allocated to either system or graphics processor.
The BIOS feature that controls all this is the DVMT Mode
BIOS feature. It allows you to select the DVMT operating mode.
When set to Fixed, the graphics driver will reserve a fixed portion of the system memory as graphics memory. This ensures that the graphics processor has a guaranteed amount of graphics memory but the downside is once allocated, this memory cannot be used by the operating system even when it is not in use.
When set to DVMT, the graphics chip will dynamically allocate system memory as graphics memory, according to system and graphics requirements. The system memory is allocated as graphics memory when graphics-intensive applications are running but when the need for graphics memory drops, the allocated graphics memory can be released to the operating system for other uses.
When set to Both, the graphics driver will allocate a fixed amount of memory as dedicated graphics memory, as well as allow more system memory to be dynamically allocated between the graphics processor and the operating system.
It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to DVMT for maximum performance. Setting it to DVMT ensures that system memory is dynamically allocated for optimal balance between graphics and system performance.

Parameter Description
DVMT/FIXED Memory Size Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) is a concept whereby system memory is shared by both CPU and graphics processor. While this reduces cost, it also reduces the system's performance by taking up a large portion of memory for the graphics processor.
Options
64MB, 128MB
Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) takes that concept further by allowing the system to dynamically allocate memory resources according to the demands of the system at any point in time. The key idea in DVMT is to improve the efficiency of the memory allocated to either system or graphics processor.
This is where the DVMT/FIXED Memory BIOS feature comes in. It allows you to set the maximum amount of system memory that can be allocated as graphics memory, but only for the Fixed or DVMT operating modes. When the
DVMT + Fixed mode is selected, this BIOS feature is grayed out because when in that operating mode, the graphics driver automatically allocates a total of 128MB of graphics memory.
When set to 64MB, up to 64MB of system memory can be used as graphics memory.
When set to 128MB, up to 128MB of system memory can be used as graphics memory.
Generally, you can leave this BIOS feature at the default setting of 128MB. This setting works well in systems with lots of memory (768MB or more). But if you have 384MB or less of system memory, it is highly recommended that you restrict the amount of DVMT memory to 64MB. Intel's graphics processors are not so fast that allocating huge amounts of memory is going to have any significant effect on their performance.

The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and diagnoses the system components, and controls the operation of the power-on password option. If POST discovers errors in system operations at power-on, it displays error messages on screen, generates a check point code at port
80h or even halts the system if the error is fatal.

POST Error Messages List
If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use “POST Error
Messages List” to diagnose system problems. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description
of your error symptoms in “Error Symptoms List” on page 87
.
NOTE: When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run a total system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change. This system check can be done through the diagnostics program.
NOTE: Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the main board. Also check the power supply voltages if you have a “system no-power” condition.
If you are unable to correct the problem by using the “BIOS Messages List” table and “Error Symptoms List” table, go to “Undetermined Problems”.
To diagnose a problem, first find the BIOS error messages in the left column. If directed to a check procedure, replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check procedure is indicated, the first Action/FRU listed in right column is the most likely cause.
BIOS Messages
BIOS ROM checksum error - System halted
85
CMOS Battery Failed
CMOS Checksum Error- defaults loaded
CPU at nnnn
Display switch is set incorrectly
Press ESC to skip memory test
Floppy disk(s) fail
HARD DISK initializing - Please wait a moment
HARD DISK INSTALL FAILURE
Hard disk(s) diagnosis fail
Action/FRU
The checksum of the BIOS code in the BIOS chip is incorrect, indicating the BIOS code may have become corrupt. Contact your system dealer to replace the BIOS.
The CMOS battery is no longer functional. Contact your system dealer for a replacement the BIOS.
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect, so the system loads the default equipment configuration. A checksum error may indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. A weak battery may have caused this error. Check the battery and replace if necessary.
Displays the running speed of CPU.
The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This message indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the Video selection.
The user may press Esc to skip the full memory test.
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller or the drive. Make sure the controller is installed correctly, if no floppy drives are installed, be sure the
Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE or
AUTO.
Some hard drives require extra time to initialize.
Cannot find or initialize the hard drive controller or the drive. Make sure the controller is installed correctly. If no hard drives are installed, be sure the
Hard Drive Selection in Setup is set to NONE.
The system may run specific disk diagnostic routines. This message appears if one or more hard disks return an error when the diagnostics run.

BIOS Messages
Keyboard Error Or No Keyboard Present
Keyboard is locked out - Unlock the key
Memory Test:
Memory test fail
Override enabled - Defaults loaded
Press TAB to show POST screen
Primary master hard disk fail
Primary slave hard disk fail
Secondary master hard disk fail
Secondary slave hard disk fail
Action/FRU
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are pressed during POST. To purposely configure the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT
KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the missing keyboard during POST.
This message usually indicates that one or more keys have been pressed during the keyboard tests.
Be sure no objects are resting on the keyboard.
This message displays during a full memory test, counting down the memory areas being tested.
If POST detects an error during memory testing, additional information appears giving specifics about the type and location of the memory error.
If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS configuration, the BIOS can override the current configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed for the most stable, minimal-performance system operations.
System OEMs may replace the Phoenix
Technologies Award BIOS POST display with their own proprietary display. Including this message in the OEM display permits the operator to switch between the OEM display and the default POST display.
POST detects an error in the primary master IDE hard drive.
POST detects an error in the secondary master IDE hard drive.
POST detects an error in the primary slave IDE hard drive.
POST detects an error in the secondary slave IDE hard drive.
