System Utilities
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run
Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM.
This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup.

Refers to the portion of memory that is available to standard DOS programs. DOS systems have an address space of 1 MB, but the top 384 KB (called high memory) is reserved for system use. This leaves 640
KB of conventional memory. Everything above 1 MB is either extended or expanded memory.
Memory above and beyond the standard 1 MB
(megabyte) of base memory that DOS supports.
Extended memory is only available in PCs with an Intel
80286 or later microprocessor. Extended memory is not configured in any special manner and is therefore unavailable to most DOS programs. However, MS

Parameter
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Description
This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping feature if you installed more than one
VGA card in the system. The PVI/VGA palette snoop function allows the control palette register
(CPR) to manage and update the VGA RAMDAC
(Digital Analog Converter, a color data storage) of each VGA card installed in the system. The snooping process lets the CPR send a signal to all the VGA cards so that they can update their individual RAMDACs. The signal goes through the cards continuously until all RAMDAC data has been updated. This allows the display of multiple images on the screen.
NOTE: Some VGA cards have required settings for this feature. Check your VGA card manual before setting this parameter.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the Power-on Self Test (POST) is initiated. Several items are tested during
POST, but is for the most part transparent to the user.
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.
The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system functionality are as follows:
!
!
!
!
Microprocessor with built-in numeric co-processor and cache memory subsystem
Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller (8237 module)
Interrupt system (8259 module)
Three programmable timers (system timer and 8254 module)
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
ROM subsystem
RAM subsystem
CMOS RAM subsystem and real time clock/calendar with battery backup
Onboard parallel interface controller
Embedded hard disk interface and one diskette drive interface
Keyboard and auxiliary device controllers
1.44M floppy controller
I/O ports
!
!
One parallel port
One PS/2-compatible mouse port
!
OnePS/2-compatible keyboard port
NOTE: When Post executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check points to be latched at
.
port 80h, indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on a debug board.
The following table describes the BIOS common tasks carried out by POST. Each task is denoted by an unique check point number. For other unique check point numbers that are not listed in the table, refer to the corresponding product service guide.

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 119
.
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” on page 123.
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.
