Introduction to New Features

FWH(Firmware Hub) Protection
The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. Some severe viruses such as CIH virus
are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the mainboard. If the BIOS has
been damaged, the system will be unable to boot. W e provide the following solution
which protects the system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.
Here are two choices which implements this function.
1. Set the jumper (JAV) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (JAV) as open, meanwhile set " Flash Write Protect" as Enabled in
AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the
DMI information can be updated.
Refer to page 16 for detailed information on jumper setting, and page 26 for related
BIOS setting.
Suspend to RAM
Suspend to RAM is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the Advanced Configu-
ration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0 specification, which makes a PC' s power con-
sumption drop to the lowest possible level and enables quick wakeup. W hen the
system is in Suspend-to-RAM status, the system context is maintained in system
memory, the system consumes only a small fraction of the power used for full opera-
tion. Instead of shutting down the system to save power when not in use and then
having to reboot later, Suspend-to-RAM solution enables the system to quickly wake
up, restoring all applications and features, enabling operation in a few seconds.
To implement this function, the following requirments are essential:
1.
Power supply requirements: The current of 5VSB line of the power supply should
be more than 0.75A.
2.
The BIOS option "ACPI function" should be enabled, and "ACPI Suspend Type" should
be set as S3 in AWARD BIOS CMOS setup. Refer to page 28 for detailed information.
