4. BIOS CONFIGURATION

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 CMOS SRAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power

is turned off.

4.1. ENTERING SETUP

Power ON the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter

Setup. 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" bottom on the system case. You may also restart by

simultaneously press <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys.

•Primary HDDs / Secondary HDDs

The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has

been installed in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and user

definable type. User type is user-definable; Auto type which will

automatically detect HDD type.

Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table.

The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for

this category.

If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the

following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and

press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the documentation

form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

CYLS. Number of cylinders

HEADS number of heads

PRECOMP write precomp

LANDZONE Landing zone

SECTORS number of sectors

If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press <Enter>.

•Drive A type / Drive B type

The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has

been installed in the computer.

1.2M, 5.25 in. 5.25 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte

capacity (3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled).

720K, 3.5 in. 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 720K byte capacity

1.44M, 3.5 in. 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 1.44M byte capacity.

monitor that must match your video display card and monitor. Although

secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to select the type in

setup.

EGA/VGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For

EGA, VGA, SVGA, or PGA monitor adapters

CGA 40 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode

MONO Monochrome adapter, includes high resolution

monochrome adapters

•Halt on

The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is

detected during power up.

it will stop for all other errors

All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will

stop for all other errors

All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or

disk error; it will stop for all other errors

•Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On

Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or

conventional) memory installed in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems

with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for

systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the

motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present

during the POST.

This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's

memory address map.

Expanded Memory

Expanded Memory in memory defined by the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft

(LIM) standard as EMS.

Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above

640 K; the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps

memory, which not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so

these applications, can access all of the system memory.

Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64 K within 1 MB or

memory above 1 MB, depends on the chipset design.

Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as

Expanded Memory.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K

address space. This is memory that can be used for different

applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base

memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is

Shadow RAM.

4.6. BIOS FEATURES SETUP

Figure 4.3: BIOS Features Setup

•Virus Warning

If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is

any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk

drive. The system will halt and the warning message will appear in the

mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem.

The default value is Disabled.

Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a

warning message to appear when anything attempts to

access the boot sector or hard disk partition table

Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to

access the boot sector or hard disk partition table

•CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

These two categories speed up memory access. However, it depends on

CPU / chipset design. The default value is Enabled.

Enabled Enable cache

Disabled Disable cache

•VGA Boot From

The default value is PCI Slot.

PCI Slot VGA Boot From PCI Slot

•Boot Up Floppy Seek

During POST, BIOS will determine the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or

80 tracks. 360 K type is 40 tracks 720 K, 1.2 M and 1.44 M are all 80

tracks. The default value is Enabled.

Enabled

BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine it is 40 or

80 tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720 K, 1.2 M or

1.44 M drive type as they are all 80 tracks

Disabled

BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by

track number. Note that there will not be any warning

message if the drive installed is 360 K

•Boot Up NumLock Status

The default value is On.
