memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems
with 640K 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
beyond 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K
address space. This is the 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.
Total Memory
System total memory is the sum of basic memory, extended
memory, and other memory.

685 38 ----------
When HDD type is in ‘user’ type, the ”MODE” option will be opened for
user to select their own HDD mode.
(2) HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes : NORMAL, LBA & LARGE
NORMAL mode
This is the generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the
IDE
controller will make any transformation during accessing.
The maximum number of cylinders, head & sectors for NORMAL
mode
are 1024, 16 & 63.
no. Cyclinder (1024)
x no. Head ( 16)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x no. per sector ( 512)
528 Megabytes
If a 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
This is a new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte
bottleneck. The number of cylinders, heads & 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 & cylinder number into its own physical
address inside the HDD.
The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes
which is obtained by the following formula:
no. Cyclinder ( 1024)
x no. Head ( 255)
x no. Sector
( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
8.4 Gigabytes
LARGE mode
This is a extended HDD access mode supported by the Award
Software.
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without the LBA
support
(in some cases, user do not want LBA). The Award BIOS
provides another
alternative to support these kinds of HDD.
Example of LARGE mode:
CYLS. HEADS SECTOR
MODE
1120 16
59 NORMAL
560 32
59 LARGE
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.
Maximum HDD size:
no. Cyclinder ( 1024)
x no. Head ( 32)
x no. Sector
( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
1 Gigabytes
(3) Remarks
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). You may not be able to access a HDD with LBA
(LARGE) mode selected if you are running under a Operating
System which replaces the whole INT 13h.

Watchdog Timer
Watchdog Timer Configuration
The watchdog timer will reset the system automatically if the system
program does not refresh the watchdog timer during the watchdog time
out interval. It is defined at I/O port 0443H and 043H to enable/disable
the watchdog time out function.
Regarding to the watchdog function, user must have a program to set
the watchdog time out value, and refresh the watchdog timer cycle. If
the system program goes into a dead loop or goes into an abnormal
cycle, the watchdog timer cannot be refreshed immediately. Meanwhile,
the system will be reset by watchdog timer automatically. The watchdog
timer will be refreshed by “disable watchdog output” then “enable
watchdog output”.
The following flowchart shows the normal structure of system program.
Watchdog timer examples:
(1) Setup watchdog timer time out value:
mov al,0ah
mov dx,70h

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
