Award BIOS Setup
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration
is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information while the power is off.
4.2 Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While
the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears
briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On SelfTest).
Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or
pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart
by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do
not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an
error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

4.3 Using Setup
In general, you can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter>
to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press
<F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides

Resource controlled by
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However,
this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and
Play operating system such as Windows95. If you set this field to
“manual” choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu
that follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a “ ”).
The choice: Auto(ESCD), Manual.
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a
type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 assigned to
This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and is
not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices compliant with the
original PC AT bus specification, PCI/ISA PnP for devices compliant with
the Plug and Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA bus
architecture.
The Choice: PCI Device, Reserved.

Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a
special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off.
The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system
according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the
values the system is restarted again.

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory
settings for optimal performance system operations. While Award
has designed the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the
factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs.
When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box
with a message similar to:
Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal
performance system operations.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous
selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
Load Fail-Safe Defaults
Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory
settings for safety system operations.
When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box
with a message similar to:
Load Fail-Safe Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for
Fail-Safe system operations.

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer
The WDT(Watch Dog Timer)is used to generate a variety of
output signals after a user programmable cont. The WDT is
suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as
when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these
sort of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the
selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance,
the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the
timer counts to zero.
WATCHDOG TIMER SETTING
The watchdog timer is a circuit that maybe be used from your
program software to detect crash or hang up. The watchdog
timer is automatically disabled after reset. Once you enabled
the watchdog timer, your program should trigger the watchdog
timer every time before it times out. After you trigger the
watchdogtimer, the timer will be set to zero and start to count
again. If your program fails to trigger the watchdog timer
before times out, it will generate a reset pulse to reset the
system or trigger the IRQ9 signal in order to tell your system
that the watchdog time is out.
User could test watch dog function under ’Debug.exe’ program
as follows:

Appendix B: Digital I/O
One characteristic of digital circuit is its fast response to high or
low signal. This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and
critical industrial operating environment. Digital Input and
Output, generally, are control signals. You can use these
signals to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or
TTL devices. You can read or write data to the selected address
to enable the function of digital IO.
