CHAPTER 4 Award BIOS Setup
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup 4.1 Introduction Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup information when the power is turned off. 4.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically backed up to Flash ROM.
Figure 4.1: Award BIOS Setup initial screen 4.3 Standard CMOS Setup Choose the “Standard CMOS Features” option from the “Initial Setup Screen” menu, and the screen below will be displayed. This menu allows users to configure system components such as date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive, display, and memory. Figure 4.
4.4 Advanced BIOS Features The “Advanced BIOS Features” screen appears when choosing the “Advanced BIOS Features” item from the “Initial Setup Screen” menu. It allows the user to configure the DSA3400 according to his particular requirements. Below are some major items that are provided in the Advanced BIOS Features screen. A quick booting function is provided for your convenience. Simply enable the Quick Booting item to save yourself valuable time Figure 4.3: Advanced BIOS features screen 4.4.
4.4.4 Quick Power On Self Test This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted as soon as the computer is turned on. When enabled, BIOS shortens or skips some of the items during the test. When disabled, the computer conducts normal POST procedures. 4.4.5 First/Second/Third/ Boot Other Device The BIOS tries to load the OS with the devices in the sequence selected. Choices are: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM, LAN, Disabled. 4.4.
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default value is Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up. 4.4.13 APIC Mode APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The default setting is Enabled. 4.4.
Figure 4.4: Advanced Chipset features screen 4.5.1 DRAM Timing Selectable This option refers to the method by which the DRAM timing is selected. The default is By SPD. 4.5.2 CAS Latency Time You can configure CAS latency time in HCLKs as 2 or 2.5 or 3. The system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU. 4.5.
Select ECC if your memory module supports it. The memory controller will detect and correct single-bit soft memory errors. The memory controller will also be able to detect double-bit errors though it will not be able to correct them. This provides increased data integrity and system stability. 4.5.7 MGM Core Frequency This field sets the frequency of the DRAM memory installed. The default setting is Auto Max 266MHz. 4.5.
The default setting is Enabled. 4.5.15 On-Chip Frame Buffer Size The default setting is 32MB. The options available include 1MB, 4MB, 8MB and 16MB. 4.5.16 Boot Display The default setting is CRT+LVDS. The options available include CRT, LVDS, DVI and TV. 4.5.17 Panel Number These fields allow you to select the LCD Panel type.
Figure 4.5: Integrated Peripherals 4.6.1 On-Chip Primary PCI IDE Some UDMA cables use a hole in the ribbon cable as a cable detect mechanism to determine if a UDMA IDE or standard IDE cable is installed. The default setting is “Enabled”. 4.6.2 IDE Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode, IDE Primary (Secondary) Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto) Each channel (Primary and Secondary) has both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible.
Figure 4.6: OnChip IDE Device 4.6.5 USB/USB 2.0 Controller Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller and you have USB peripherals. The choices: Enabled, Disabled. 4.6.6 USB Keyboard/Mouse Support Select Enabled if user plan to use an USB keyboard.

Figure 4.7: Onboard Device 4.6.9 Onboard LAN Control Option is Enable and Disable. Select Disable if user does not want to use onboard LAN controller 4.6.10 Onboard FDC Controller When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the onboard floppy disk drive connector instead of a separate controller card. If you want to use a different controller card to connect the floppy disk drives, set this field to Disabled. 4.6.
4.6.15 UR2 Duplex Mode This item allows you to select the IR half/full duplex function. The choices: Half, Full. 4.6.16 Onboard Parallel Port This field sets the address of the on-board parallel port connector. You can select either 3BCH/IRQ7, 378H/IRQ7, 278H/IRQ5 or Disabled. If you install an I/O card with a parallel port, make sure there is no conflict in the address assignments. The CPU card can support up to three parallel ports, as long as there are no conflicts for each port. 4.6.
4.7 Power Management Setup The power management setup controls the CPU card’s “green” features to save power. The following screen shows the manufacturer’s defaults: Figure 4.6: Power management setup screen 4.7.1 ACPI function The choice: Enabled, Disabled. 4.7.2 Power Management This category allows you to select the type (or degree) of power saving and is directly related to the following modes: 1. HDD Power Down 2.
4.7.3 Video Off In Suspend When system is in suspend, video will turn off. 4.7.4 Modem Use IRQ This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can use.The choices: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, NA. 4.7.5 HDD Power Down You can choose to turn the HDD off after one of the time intervals listed, or when the system is in “suspend” mode. If the HDD is in a power saving mode, any access to it will wake it up. 4.7.
4.7.13 PCI PIRQ [A-D]# When Enabled, the system will resume from suspend mode if interrupt occurs. The choice: Enabled, Disabled. 4.8 PnP/PCI Configurations 4.8.1 PnP OS Installed Select “Yes” if you are using a plug and play capable operating system. Select No if you need the BIOS to configure non-boot device Figure 4.7: PnP/PCI configurations screen 4.8.2 Reset Configuration Data Default is Disable.
4.8.4 PCI/VGA Palette Snoop This is left at “Disabled.” 4.9 Password Setting To change the password: 1. Choose the “Set Password” option from the “Initial Setup Screen” menu and press . The screen will display the following message: Please Enter Your Password Press . 2. If the CMOS is good or if this option has been used to change the default password, the user is asked for the password stored in the CMOS.
