Award BIOS Setup

This chapter describes how to configure the BIOS for the system.

Starting setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in

CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST).

When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands control of system operations to it.

During POST, you can start the Setup program in one of two ways:

1.By pressing Del immediately after switching the system on, or

2.By pressing Del or pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST:

TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS DEL KEY

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 Ctr-Alt-Del. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message appears and you are again asked to

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press Esc or the F1 key again.

In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the Award

BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default configuration.

You can invoke this override by immediately pressing Insert; when you restart your computer. You can restart by either using the ON/

OFF switch, the RESET button or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen by Award Software or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to become unstable.

Date and Time Configuration

The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for information only.

Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month, year). Press the PgUp/- or PgDn/+ key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field.

The time format is based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00 hours. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field. Press the PgUp/- or PgDn/+ key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field.

HARD DISKS

The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.

NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.


The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications

If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are available:

1.Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with

the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45.

2.Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.

3.Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.

Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:

Type:

The BIOS contains a table of predefined drive types. Each

defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders,

number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing

zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications

do not accommodate any predefined type are classified as

type USER.

Size

: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is

usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk

given by a disk-checking program.

Cyls

: Number of cylinders

Head

: Number of heads

Precomp

: Write precompensation cylinder

Landz

: Landing zone

Sector

: Number of sectors

Mode

: Auto, Normal, Large, or LBA

- Auto

: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.

- Normal

: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors

supported are 1024, 16, and 63.

- Large

: For drives that do not support LBA and have more

than 1024 cylinders.


- LBA

(Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the

IDE controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Drive A

Drive B

Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in the computer.

None No diskette drive installed

360K, 5.25 in 5-1/4 inch PC-type standard drive;

360 kilobyte capacity

1.2M, 5.25 in 5-1/4 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2 megabyte capacity

720K, 3.5 in 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive;

720 kilobyte capacity

1.44M, 3.5 in 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive;

1.44 mega byte capacity

2.88M, 3.5 in 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive;

2.88 mega byte capacity


Halt On

During the power-on-self-test (POST), the computer stops if the

BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process.

These are the selections:

No errors

: POST does not stop for any errors.

All errors If

: the BIOS detects any nonfatal error, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.

All, But Keyboard

: POST does not stop for a keyboard error, but stops for all other errors

All, But Diskette

: POST does not stop for diskette drive errors, but stops for all other errors.

All, But Disk/Key

: POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk error, but stops for all other errors.

Memory

You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information. The fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes

(MB: approximately one million bytes).

RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer stores programs and data currently being used, so they are accessible to the CPU. Modern personal computers may contain up to 64

MB, 128 MB, or more.

Base Memory

Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating system and conventional applications use this area.


Extended Memory

Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software can use extended memory.

Other Memory

Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may load, terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device drivers, in this area, to free as much conventional memory as possible for applications. Lines in your CONFIG.SYS file that start with LOADHIGH, load programs into high memory.


Advanced BIOS Features

The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP

DEFAULTS settings.

Virus Warning

When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program

(specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus warning.


CPU Internal Cache/External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU.

The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache memory.

CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

When you select Enabled, memory checking is enable when the external cache contains ECC SRAMs.

Processor Number Feature

This option is for Pentium III processor. During Enabled, this will check the CPU Serial number. Disabled this option if you don't want the system to know the serial number.

Quick Power On Self Test

Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on-self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.

First/Second/Third/Fourth Boot Device

The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices in the sequence selected in these items.

The choices: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM, Disable.


Swap Floppy Drive

This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives.

Selecting enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have

40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to

Disabled to save time.

Boot Up NumLock Status

Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.

Boot Up System Speed

Select High to boot at the default CPU speed; select Low to boot at the speed of the AT bus. Some add-in peripherals or old software

(such as old games) may require a slow CPU speed. The default setting is High.

Gate A20 Option

Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1

MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.


Typematic Rate Setting-

Key strokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller. When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected.

The choice: Enabled/Disabled

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)-

Sets the number of times a second to repeat a key stroke when you hold the key down.

The choice: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30

Typematic Delay (Msec)-

Sets the delay time after the key is held down before it begins to repeat the keystroke.

The choice: 250, 500, 750, 1000

Security Option

If you have set a password, select whether the password

is required every time the System boots, or only when you enter

Setup.

OS Select For DRAM>64MB-

Select the operating system that is running with greater than 64MB or RAM on the system.

The choice: Non-OS2, OS2


HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability

Hard disk drives have built in problem detection capability (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology).

If a foreseen problem is about to take place, the computer will give a you a warning signal. The choice: Enable, Disable

Advanced Chipset Features

SDRAM CAS Latency Time

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of

CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the default value specified by the system designer.

SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc

Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.

The choices: 5/7, 7/9 disable.

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay

This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.


SDRAM RAS Precharge Time

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the

DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast gives faster performance; slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous

DRAM is installed in the system.

System BIOS Cacheable

Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-

FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The choices:

Onboard Serial Ports (1, 2)

Normally, the main board’s I/O chips will occupy a certain portion of memory space. For each I/O device the computer provides an

I/O address. The more devices attached the more address needed to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O devices were run through the same address, your devices would come to a near halt. By providing the end user with four serial ports this allows devices to run more efficiently if needed. Also the corresponding interrupt needs to be selected.

Selections of logical COM port addresses are as follows. ( 3F8/

IRQ4, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 2E8/IRQ3)

Onboard Parallel Port

Select a logical LPT port address and corresponding interrupt for the physical parallel port
