Introduction
Overview
Explorer IV green mainboard provides a highly integrated solution for
fully compatible, high performance PC/AT platforms, and supporis Intel
Pentium, Cyrix 6x86, M2, AMD KS and Кб microprocessors. It features
Write-Back Secondary Cache memory for 256KB/512KB in size. Flexible
main memory size can be installed from 8MB up to 1283MB DRAMs, so
as to give full play to the advantages of the Pentium, Cyrix and AMD
CPUs. The main board offers a wide range of interface to support
integrated on-board IDE and on-board I/O function.
The current Green function is divided into three phases : Doze, Standby
and Suspend.
Key Features

Hardware Settings
There are some hardware settings on the board. They specify configura-
tion options for various features. The settings are made using something
called a ‘jumper’. Jumpers on the system board provide information to
your operation about installed options and system settings. A jumper is
a set of two or more metal pins in a plastic base attached to the main-
board. A plastic jumper ‘cap’ with a metal plate inside fits over two pins
to create an electrical contact between them. The contact establishes a
hardware settings such as installing the CPU,
Note: When you open a jumper, leave the plastic Jumper cap attached
to one of the ping so you don't lose it.
Jumpers and Caps

To rapidly give user a effective and direct way to set jumpers for your
system, there are some diagrams used in the following chapters. All kind
of jumper setting modes are simplified as the following relevant graphic

Jumper Configuration
The main board offers a set of jumper settings to facilitate clock fre-
quency adjustment and some important selections.
System Clock Selection
In this Explorer IV main board, there are six selections of SC (System
Clock). User has to set a group of jumpers as the following illustration to
determine which system clock used.

The catepories identify the types of 2 channels that have been installed in
the computer, There are 45 predefined types and 4 user definable types
are uscd for Enhanced IDE BIOS, Type 1 to Type 45 are predefined.
Type "User" is user-definable. If your hard disk drive type is not matched
with drive table or listed in it, you can use Type "User" to define your
own drive type manually.
If you select Type "Auto", BIOS will Auto-Detect the HDD & CD-ROM drive
at the POST stage and show the IDE for HDD & CD-ROM drive. If you
select Type "User", related information is asked to be entered to the following
items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press <En-
ter >:
If the controller of HDD interface is ESD], On-Board IDE Primary and/or
Secondary port has to be disabled. If the controller of HDD mterface is SCSI,
the type shall be set to "None"; or directly set to "Auto" whatever the HDD
interface is SCSI or IDE.

Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter >. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to
abort the selection and not enter a password.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter password. The following message will confirm the password being
disabled. If both Supervisor and User Password are disabled, the system
will boot and yon can enter CMOS Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
If vou select "System" at "Security Option" of "BIOS Features Setup"
Menu, you will be prompted for the password every time the system is
rebooted or any time you try to enter "CMOS Setup".
If you select “Setup” at "Security Option" of "BIOS Features Setup"
Menu, you will be prompted only when you try to enter "CMOS Setup".
Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. You can use
Supervisor Password when booting system or entering "CMOS Setup" to
modify all settings. Also you can use User Password when hooting system
or entering "CMOS Setup” but can not modify any setting if Supervisor

AWARD BIOS Description
2. HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE,
and Auto detect.
NORMAL
Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller
will make any transformation during accessing. The maximum number of
cylinder, head and sectors for NORMAL mode are 1024, 16 and 63.
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
A new HDI} accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck.
The number of cylinders, head 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 iis own
physical address inside the HDD. The maximum HDD size supported by
LBA mode is 8.4 Gegabytes.
LARGE mode
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support
(in some cases, user do not wait LBA). The Award BIOS provides another
alternative to support these kinds of HDD.
BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) that 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.
Auto detect
If using Auto detect, the BIOS will auto detect IDE hard disk mode and
set it to one kind of HDD modes.
Chapter 4
3. Remark
To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some software
involved. All these software are located in the Award HDD Service
Routine (INT 13h). It may be failed to access a HDD with LBA (LARGE)
mode selected if you are running under a Operating System which re-
places the whole INT 13h.
