  • Page 9: Function Introduction

     Function Introduction  . XPC Introduction The Shuttle XPC is the original high-performance Small Form Factor (SFF) computer. Since the first model was introduced in 200, the XPC has become the world’s best- selling SFF computer brand. Each Shuttle XPC is sold as a ”barebone” computer~chassis, power supply and motherboard. The user must add his own processor, memory, drives and, as ap- plicable, expansion cards. The XPC has been designed to be easily assembled and configured directly by the end user. Consumers can choose to buy preconfigured, ready-to-run XPC’s as well~a list of Shuttle-authorized value-added resellers can be found at www.shuttle.com. The Shuttle XPC owes its popularity to its unique combination of small-size, high- performance and near universal component compatibility. However, unlike ordinary desktop computers, Shuttle XPC’s have been engineered as complete systems. The XPC concept can be summarized as: Use of high-performance, industry-standard components; Minimum size possible,...

  • Page 45: Pnp/Pci Configurations

     PnP/PCI Configurations This section describes the configuration of PCI bus system. PCI or Per- sonal Computer Interconnection is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at the speed CPU itself keeps when CPU communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items, and it is strongly recom- mended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. Resource Controlled By The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug-and-Play operating system such as Windows 95.  The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual. IRQ Resources When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

  • Page 49 DRAM Timing Setting Options are in its sub-menu. Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu of detailed options. CAS Latency Time When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Don't change this field from the default value specified by the system designer.  The Choice: Auto,3,4,5 or 6. DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, and you can use it when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Faster performance is gained in high speed, more stable performance, in low speed. This field is applied only when syn- chronous DRAM is installed in the system.  The Choice: Auto,3,4,5 or 6. DRAM RAS# Precharge If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be-incompleted, and the DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field is applied only when synchro- nous DRAM is installed in the system.  The Choice: Auto,3,4,5 or 6. Precharge dealy (tRAS) The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for DRAM to accu- mulate its charge before refresh.  The Choice: Auto or 9~8.

     Load Optimized Defaults When you press <Enter> on this item, you will get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to: Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N Pressing 'Y' loads the default values that are factory-set for optimal performance system operation.  Set Supervisor/User Password Steps to set supervisor/user password are described as follows: New Password Setting: . While pressing <Enter> to set a password, a dialog box appears to ask you enter a password. 2. Key in a new password. The password can not exceed eight characters. 3. System will request you to confirm the new password again. 4. When completed, new code takes effect. No Password Setting: 5. If you want to delete the password, just press the <Enter> key instead of typinga new password. Follow the procedure as ablve. If You Forget Password: 6. If you forget your password, you must turn off the system and clear CMOS. Please refer to the tech notes at the end of section two for more information.

  • Page 52: Save & Exit Setup

     Save & Exit Setup Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation: SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y Pressing "Y" stores the selections made in the menus of CMOS - a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system accord- ing to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.  Exit Without Saving Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation: Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N This allows you to exit from Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits from the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
