The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been ⚫ erased. The HSB-800I-A11 CMOS memory uses a backup battery for data retention. The battery must be replaced if it runs out of power. Chapter 3 – AMI BIOS Setup...
Award BIOS Setup The Award BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in the battery-backed CMOS RAM so it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. To enter Setup, power on the system and press <Del>...

Frequency/Voltage Control – Display (monitor) frequency and voltage control. Load Fail-Safe Defaults – Load BIOS default values for minimal/ stable performance for system operation. Load Optimized Defaults – Load BIOS default factory settings for optimal system performance. While Award has designed the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs.
Standard CMOS Features Date and Time Configuration The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for information only. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month, year).

CHS: This allows the user to enter their own hardware values. Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders. LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the IDE controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates for drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Video Halt On [Default: All, But Keyboard] During the power-on-self-test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process. Memory [Default: AutoDetect] You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information. RAM is counted in kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes (MB: approximately one million bytes).
Advanced BIOS Features CPU Feature [Default: Autodetect] Items will only enabled when current CPU is supported Thermal Monitor feature. Delay Prior to Thermal The Delay Prior To Thermal BIOS feature controls the [Default: 16 Min] activation of the Thermal Monitor's automatic mode. It allows you to determine when the Pentium 4's Thermal Monitor should be activated in automatic mode after the system boots.

Advanced Chipset Features DRAM Timing Selectable [Default: By SPD] When select to “By SPD”, the DRAM timing parameters are set according to DRAM SPD (Serial Presence Detect). When disabled, one can manually set the DRAM timing parameters through the sub items below. Set to “By SPD” if not sure. CAS Latency Time: [Default: 2] Controls the latency between the SDRAM Read command and the time data actually becomes available.

This option is used with various visual display peripherals. This function allows the end user to select the type of visual display peripheral they are incorporated with the AAEON single board computer. Panel Type [Default: Panel #1] When your display devices include LCD panel, you have to select the type of panel you are incorporating with your single board computer.
Integrated Peripherals OnChip IDE Device OnChip Primary/ The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE Secondary PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select [Default: Enabled] Enabled to activate each channel separately. IDE Primary / Secondary The four IDE PIO (Programmable Input/Output) fields let Master / Slave PIO you set a PIO mode (0-1) for each of the two IDE devices [Default: Auto]...

SuperIO Device Note: Normally, the boards' I/O chips will occupy a certain portion of memory space. For each I/O device the computer provides an I/O address. The more devices attached the more address needed to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O devices were running through the same address, your devices would come to a near halt.
