The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system. BIOS Setup The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the , and keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the screen: Press to Enter Setup In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, to select, the and keys to change entries, for help and to quit. When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices. 12 ET863 User’s Manual DRIVERS INSTALLATION Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Standard CMOS Features Frequency/Voltage Control Advanced BIOS Features Load Fail-Safe Defaults Advanced Chipset Features Load Optimized Defaults Integrated Peripherals Set Supervisor Password Power Management Setup Set User Password PnP/PCI Configurations Save & Exit Setup PC Health Status Exit Without Saving ESC : Quit á â à ß : Select Item F10 : Save & Exit Setup Time, Date, Hard Disk Type… The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the control keys section, there is another section which displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list. Note: If the system cannot boot after making and saving system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default. It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any Warning: changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your system manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could cause the system to become unstable and crash in some cases. ET863 User’s Manual 13 DRIVERS INSTALLATION Standard CMOS Setup “Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the board is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem. 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. These items allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By default, these items are Enabled. ET863 User’s Manual 17 DRIVERS INSTALLATION CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking This field enables or disables the ECC (Error Correction Checking) checking of the CPU level-2 cache. The default setting is Enabled. Quick Power On Self Test When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items. First/Second/Third Boot Device These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, LAN and Disable. Boot Other Device These fields allow the system to search for an operating system from other devices other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device. Swap Floppy Drive This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By default, this field is set to Disabled. Boot Up Floppy Seek When enabled, the BIOS will seek whether or not the floppy drive installed has 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type has 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M all have 80 tracks. Boot Up NumLock Status This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system. Gate A20 Option This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. 18 ET863 User’s Manual DRIVERS INSTALLATION Typematic Rate Setting When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated keystrokes speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30 characters per second. Typematic Delay (Msec) When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for displaying the first and second characters. By default, this item is set to 250msec. Security Option 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. OS Select for DRAM > 64MB This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2. Video BIOS Shadow This item allows you to change the Video BIOS location from ROM to RAM. Video Shadow will increase the video speed. C8000 - CBFFF Shadow/DC000 - DFFFF Shadow Shadowing a ROM reduces the memory available between 640KB to 1024KB. These fields determine whether or not optional ROM will be copied to RAM. Small Logo (EPA) Show This field enables the showing of the EPA logo located at the upper right of the screen during boot up.

You may set this to Enabled if you want any sort of system stability. System BIOS Cacheable The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Video BIOS Cacheable The Setting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-F7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. 20 ET863 User’s Manual DRIVERS INSTALLATION Frame Buffer Size The default setting of the frame buffer size is 8M. AGP Aperture Size The field sets aperture size of the graphics. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The default setting is 64M. AGP-4X Mode The field enables or disables the AGP-4X mode of the integrated VGA function. AGP Driving Control This BIOS function allows you to adjust the control of the AGP driving force. It is set to Auto by default. Panel Type This field sets the panel type that is supported by the system. Below are the selections for the different panel types: Panel Type 0 640x480 18bit TFT 1 800x600 18bit TFT 2 1024x768 36bit TFT 3 1280x1024 36bit TFT 4 640x480 16bit DSTN 5 800x600 16bit DSTN 6 1024x768 16bit DSTN 7 1024x768 18bit 1CH LVDS 8 640x480 18bit TFT 9 800x600 18bit TFT A 1024x768 18bit TFT B 1280x1024 18bit TFT C 1400x1050 36bit 2CH LVDS D 800x600 16bit DSTN E 1024x768 16bit DSTN F 1280x1024 16bit DSTN Power-Supply Type This field that power supply type that the system is using. By default, this field is set to AT. ET863 User’s Manual 21 DRIVERS INSTALLATION OnChip USB The default setting of this filed is Enabled to enable the USB function. OnChip Keyboard Support Enable this if you are using a USB keyboard. OnChip Sound This field enables or disables the on board audio function. CPU to PCI Write Buffer This controls the CPU write buffer to the PCI bus. If this buffer is disabled, the CPU writes directly to the PCI bus. The default is Enabled. PCI Dynamic Bursting This option controls the PCI write buffer. If this is enabled, then every write transaction on the PCI bus goes straight to the write buffer. Burst transactions are then sent on their way as soon as there are enough to send in a single burst. PCI Master 0 WS Write This function determines whether there's a delay before any writes to the PCI bus. If this is enabled, then writes to the PCI bus are executed immediately (with zero wait states), as soon as the PCI bus is ready to receive data. PCI Delay Transaction The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1. PCI#2 Access #1 Retry This BIOS feature is linked to the CPU to PCI Write Buffer. Normally, the CPU to PCI Write Buffer is enabled. All writes to the PCI bus are, as such, immediately written into the buffer, instead of the PCI bus. This frees up the CPU from waiting till the PCI bus is free. The data are then written to the PCI bus when the next PCI bus cycle starts. AGP Master 1 WS Write/Read When enabled a single wait state is used when writing/reading to the AGP bus. When disabled a 2 wait state is used. For optimal performance set this to enabled. For improved stability set it to disabled. 22 ET863 User’s Manual DRIVERS INSTALLATION Integrated Peripherals This section sets configurations for your hard disk and other integrated peripherals.
