Setting Supervisor & User Passwords
The "SUPERVISOR PASSWORD" and "USER PASSWORD"
options set passwords. The Supervisor Password is for system and
Setup Utility access. The User Password is for the system only. The
mainboard ships with no passwords. To create a password, highlight
the type you want and press the <Enter> key. At the prompt, type
your password. The password is case
sensitive,
and can be up to 8
alphanumeric
characters. Press
<Enter> after
you have finished typ-
ing in the password. At the next prompt, confirm the new password
by re-typing it and pressing
<Enter>
again.
When you're done, the
screen
automatically reverts to the main screen. Remember, when you
use this feature, the "Security Option" line in BIOS FEATURES
SETUP
will determine when
entering
the password will be required.
To disable either password, press the
<Enter>
key instead of en-
tering a new password when the "Enter Password" dialog box ap-
pears. A message confirms the password has been disabled.

IDE HOD Auto Detection
If
your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to
detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup
automatically.
This utility will detect as many as four IDE drives if
your system
configuration
supports
that many. In
sequence,
a
set
of parameters
for each drive will appear in the box. To accept the entries displayed
press the Y key, to skip to the next drive, press the N key. If you
ac-
cept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive
letter on the screen and the next letter, without parameters will ap-
pear and the program will attempt to detect parameters for the next
drive. If you press the N key to skip rather than accept a set of pa-
rameters,
zeros are
entered after that drive letter.
Remember, if your IDE controller does not have Enhanced IDE
support for four devices, you can only install two IDE hard disk
drives. Your IDE controller must
support
Enhanced IDE features in
order to use Drive E: and Drive F:
.
The on-board IDE controller has
a connector for two IDE hard disks. If you want to use another
con-
troller that supports four drives you must disable the on-board con-
troller in the Chipset Features Setup screen.
When you are finished, any entries you accepted are automati-
cally entered on the line for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup.
Any
entries
you skipped are ignored and nothing is
entered for
that
drive in Standard CMOS Setup.
Note: If you are setting up a hard disk that supports LBA
mode,
three lines will appear in the parameter
box.
Choose the line that lists
LBA for an LBA drive. Do not choose Large or Normal.
