5.5 POWER SETUP MANAGEMENT ★ The system do not support ACPI funtion, so this funtions cann’t work 5.6 PnP/PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components.
w PnP OS Installed: This item allows you to determine installed PnP OS or not. The choice: Yes, No. w Reset Configuration Data: Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot. The choice: Enabled, Disabled .
w DMA Resources: When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel a type, depending on the type of device using the DM channel. w DMA 0/1/3/5/6/7 assigned to: 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. Choices are Legacy ISA and PCI/ISA PnP. w PCI/VGA Palette Snoop: Disabled. Choices are Enabled, Disabled.
5.7 Defaults Menu Selecting “Defaults” from the main menu shows you two options which are described below w Load Setup Defaults: Pressing ‘Y’ loads the Optimal default values for the most stable, optimal performance system operations.
: Pressing ‘ Y’ loads the Standard default values that are factory settings for normal performance system operations.
5.8 Supervisor/User Password Setting You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between are: supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus. user password : just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
5.9 Exit Selecting Save & Exit Setup Pressing 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.
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP w POST Beep Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.
PRESS ENTER No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press . If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.
EISA Configuration Checksum Error PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot. This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has been configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot. EISA Configuration Is Not Complete PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. make sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly.
KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during the boot. If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot. Memory Address Error at ... Indicates a memory address error at a specific location.
OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated. OFFENDING SEGMENT: This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem has been isolated. PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error occurs that requires you to reboot.
Board Found PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY A valid board ID was found in a slot that was configured as having no board ID. NOTE; When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. Should Have EISA Board But Not Found PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The board installed is not responding to the ID request, or no board ID has been found in the indicated slot.
REBOOT ... Indicates the present boot attempt has been aborted and the system must be rebooted. Press and hold down the CTRL and ALT keys and press DEL. Wrong Board In Slot PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The board ID does not match the ID stored in the EISA non-volatile memory. NOTE: When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. FLOPPY DISK(S) fail (80) → Unable to reset floppy subsystem.

Chapter 6 MFI-5GXM Book size PC MFII-5GXM Slim size PC Software Installation 6.1 How to install windows 95 or 98 operation system The MFI-5GXM Book size/Slim size PC do not have the space for mounting the CD-ROM drive inside the case; how to install windows 95/98 operating system from CD-ROM DISC to your hard disk ? There are 3 methods to be able to install the windows 95/98 operation system. Following are the procedure step by step to guide you how to install the software : A.
95 that it should be windows 95 OSR2.1 version, otherwise it will has the problem. B. Method 2: Install the windows 95/98 OS from the external CD-ROM which connects to the parallel port (parallel port to IDE external CD-ROM box) or USB port (USB port to IDE external CD-ROM box). Before doing this way you have to make sure the external CD-ROM vendor has provided the DOS driver which capable to boot the DOS from the floppy disk drice and reconized the external CD-ROM drive.
Then,install the windows 95 OSR2.1/98 OS from the hard disk itself. 6.1.1 How to install MFI-5GXM “all-in-one driver” After finished the windows 95 OSR2.1/98 operating system that you need to install MFI-5GXM “all-in-one driver” which provided on the CD-ROM dis c along with your book size/slim size PC together. Following is the procedure step by step for you to install the MFI-5GXM “all-in-one driver”.
automatically install the Cyrix5530 bus master driver, but it will cause windows 95 OSR2.1/98 unable to boot. So, you have to remove the IDE driver which has installed by the “all-in-one driver”, and then install the IDE driver by using the windows 95 OSR2.1/98 provided default driver. Since windows NT does not support the bus master, so, it will not has such problem. So, you do not need to remove the IDE driver which has installed by the “all-in-one driver” 6.
CHAPTER 7 ONBOARD 10/100Mbits FAST ETHERNET INSTALLATION 7.1 Hardware installation 1. Installing the optional Boot ROM Chip. The optional boot ROM can be purchased separately. Before executing any remote boot function, a boot ROM should be installed into the DOC socket on the all-in-one motherboard at the location U17. Be careful that the notch on the ROM should be carefully aligned with the socket in the same direction. Otherwise, it will burn out the ROM chip with the wrong direction. 2.
