Series BIOS Settings 3.1 Description The cPCI-3600 Series GLX module uses a Phoenix Award PCI/ ISA BIOS ver 6.0 for system configuration. The Award BIOS setup program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offering various selectable options to meet end-user requirements.
Series 3.2 Main Menu Setup Items The main menu includes the following setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries. Standard CMOS Features (see section 3.3) Sets basic system configuration. Advanced BIOS Features (see section 3.4) Sets advanced features available on the system.
Series 3.3 Standard CMOS Features The main menu includes the following setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries. Date The BIOS determines the day of the week from other date infor- mation. Time The time format is based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 P.M.

Series IDE HDD Auto-detection: Press Enter Press Enter to auto-detect the HDD on this channel. If detection is successful, it fills the remaining fields on this menu. IDE Primary Master: None/Auto/Manual Selecting 'manual' allows the user to set the remaining fields on this screen. Selects the type of fixed disk.
Page 51
Series Access Mode: CHS/LBA/Large/Auto Selects the access mode for a hard disk The following options are selectable only if the 'IDE Primary Master' item is set to 'Manual' Cylinder: Min = 0 Max = 65535 Sets the number of cylinders for a hard disk.

Series Drive A The GLX 800 supports one FDD drive. Because the FDD and LPT1 share the same pins on the X3 connector, only one may be used at a time. Either LPT1 or FDD can be enabled in the follow-...
Page 53
Series Halt On During the Power On Self Test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error. The BIOS can be instructed to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the bootup process. The options are as follows: No errors: POST does not stop for any errors.
Series 3.4 Advanced BIOS Features This section allows users to configure the system for basic opera- tion. The following features can be selected: system default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation, shadowing, secu- rity, CPU internal cache, and CPU external cache.
Page 55
Series Boot Other Device Enables the BIOS to boot from a second or third device if booting from the first device fails. When dis- abled the BIOS will not attempt booting from alter- native devices. Boot Up Floppy Seek If enabled, the system will search for disk drives during boot up.
Page 56
Series security is disabled, the system will boot and setup can be accessed. Remote Console Function Enables remote access through POST messages and commands through serial-port access. Remote Console is a character-based terminal applica- tion. It supports either VT100 or ANSI terminals. It does not support graphics or graphical user interfaces.

Series IDE DMA Transfer Access Enables/Disables IDE DMA Transfer Access IDE HDD Block Mode Enhances disk performance by allowing multi-sector data trans- fers and eliminates the interrupt handling time for each sector. 82551 Lan Boot ROM Enables/Disables PXE functions. The PXE function allows system boot from a network environment.
Page 61
Series EPP Mode Select Selects the version of EPP transfer protocol that the parallel port should use. Users may choose the EPP 1.7 or EPP 1.9 version. Generally, EPP 1.9 is the preferred setting because it supports newer EPP 1.9 devices and most EPP 1.7 devices, while offering other advantages such as support for longer cables.
Series 3.7 Power Management Setup ACPI Function Enabled only if the operating system supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specifications. Power Management This item allows you to select the type of Power Management: Options: Disabled, Legacy, APM, or ACPI.

Series Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN: Configures the power button: Instant-Off: The power button functions as a normal power- on/-off button. Delay 4 Sec: The system is turned off if the power button is pressed for more than four seconds. IRQ Wakeup Events: IRQ1-15: Enables or disables IRQ Wakeup Events.
Series 3.8 PnP/PCI Configurations This section describes configuring the PCI (Personal Computer Interconnect) bus system. PCI is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own components.
Page 65
Series assignment fields are cleared, as the BIOS automatically assigns them. IRQ Resources: When controlling resources manually, assign each system interrupt specifically, depending on the type of device (PCI or ISA) using the interrupt. Options: (IRQ´s) PCI device, Reserved (for ISA-Devices).
