BIOS Setup Menus The SBC-370 uses the AMI PCI/ISA BIOS for system configuration. The AMI BIOS setup program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offer- ing various options for end user requirements. This section is provided to assist you in the proper usage of these features.
STANDARD CMOS SETUP The standard CMOS Setup is used for basic hardware system configuration. The main func- tion is for Date/Time setting and Floppy/Hard Disk setting. Refer to the following screen. Use the left arrow, right arrow, and keys to move from one field to the Date/Time: Enter next.
ADVANCED CMOS SETUP The Advanced CMOS Setup is designed for optimizing the performance of the SBC-370. Under normal operation, you do not have to change any default settings. The default settings are preset for the most reliable operation. The following screen will be displayed if you select Advanced CMOS Setup: You can change the value of each option by using the key.

Allows the BIOS to use the System Management and Reporting S.M.A.R.T. for Hard Disks >: Technologies protocol for reporting server system information on a network. Turns on/off the Num-Lock option on an enhanced keyboard when BootUp Num-Lock >: you boot. If you turn it off, the arrow keys on the numeric keypad can be used just as the other set of arrow keys on the keyboard and vice versa.
ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP These setup functions are working mostly for Chipset (Intel 440BX). These options are used to change the Chipset's registers. Carefully change any default setting, otherwise the system will run unstably. Enabled will select predetermined optimal values of chipset Configure SDRAM Timing by SPD >: parameters.

Used to specify whether or not a caching of the PCI VGA frame PCI Frame Buffer USWC >: buffer is allowed. Enable or disable the use of Uncacheable, Speculatable, Write-Com- USWC Write Post >: bined memory. Define the size of Graphics Aperture. Graphics Aperture Size >: Allows the BIOS to search for MDA resources when is specified.
POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP Enables or disables the Advanced Power Management feature. Power Management/APM >: Specify the power state of the monitor after the specified pe- Green PC Monitor Power State >: riod of display-idle has ended. Specify the power state of the VESA VGA video subsystem after Video Power Down Mode >: the specified period of display-idle has ended.
PCI/PLUG AND PLAY SETUP This setup handles the SBC-370 PCI function. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI slots must be set. When PNP OS is installed, interrupts will be reassigned by the Plug and Play Aware O/S >: OS when the setting is .
This function is used to specify whether or not an offboard PCI Offboard PCI IDE Card >: IDE card is installed in your computer. You must specify the slot number on the board which will be used for the card. Specify the PCI interrupt that is assigned to the Pri- Offboard PCI IDE Primary (/Secondary) IRQ >: mary (/Secondary) IDE channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller.

Specify the mode of serial port 2. Serial Port B Mode >: Specify the mode of IR device that is connected to the IR port. IR Duplex Mode >: Specify the function mode if an IrDA mode is selected. IrDA Protocol >: Specify the I/O port address of the parallel port.
HARDWARE MONITOR SETUP There is a LM78 chip that can monitor onboard system voltage and fan speed. The voltage monitoring will cover +5V, +12V, -12V, and -5V. Note: Normal CPU fan RPM is more than 5000 RPM. If your CPU fan RPM is less than 5000 RPM, something is wrong and the CPU will be in overheat condition.
CHANGE SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD Set a password that is used to protect your system and Setup Utility. Supervisor Pass- word has higher priority than User Password. Once you setup the password, the system will ask you to enter the password every time you enter the BIOS SETUP. If you enter the BIOS SETUP with the Supervisor Password, you can access every setup option on the main menu.
AUTO CONFIGURATION WITH OPTIMAL SETTINGS This option lets you load the Optimal default settings. These settings are best-case val- ues that will provide the best performance. Whenever your CMOS RAM is damaged, the Optimal settings will be loaded automatically. BIOS Setup Menus...
AUTO CONFIGURATION WITH FAIL SAFE SETTINGS This option allows you to load the Fail Safe default settings when your computer cannot boot normally. These settings are not optimal, but are the most stable. SAVE SETTINGS AND EXIT Select this option when you finish setting all the parameters and want to save them into the CMOS.
