  • Page 31: Chapter 3: Bios Setup

    Tomcat i925X S5130 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup Chapter 3: BIOS Setup 3.1 About the BIOS The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables your hardware to interface with your software. This chapter describes different settings for the BIOS that can be used to configure your system.

  • Page 32: In Case Of Problems

    Only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are sure of the outcome. TYAN or your system manufacturer has carefully chosen the chipset defaults for best performance and reliability. Even a small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.

    Tomcat i925X S5130 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup Drive A / B Defines the floppy drive type. None / 360K, 5.25in / 1.2M, 5.25in / 720K, 3.5in / 1.44M, 3.5in / 2.88M, 3.5in Video Defines the video display mode. EGA/VGA / CGA 40 / CGA 80 / MONO Halt On Determines if the computer should stop when an error is detected during power up.
  • Page 36 Tomcat i925X S5130 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup improves memory access speed and thus, overall system speed, especially with OS/2 and Windows. This is because OS/2 and Windows enter and leave protected mode via the BIOS, so Gate A20 needs to switch often from enabled to disabled and back again. Setting this feature to Fast improves memory access performance above 1MB because the chipset is much faster at switching Gate A20 than the keyboard controller.

  • Page 37: Cpu Features

    Tomcat i925X S5130 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup 3.4.1 CPU Features Press [Enter] to access advanced features of the CPU. Delay Prior to Thermal This BIOS feature is only valid for systems that are powered by 0.13µ Intel Pentium 4 processors with 512KB L2 cache.
  • Page 38 Tomcat i925X S5130 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup Thermal Management Thermal Management throttles the processor back as it reaches its maximum operating temperature. Throttling reduces the number of processing cycles, thereby diminishing the heat dissipation of the CPU. This cools the unit. Once the CPU has reached a safe operating temperature, thermal throttling is automatically disabled, and normal full speed processing begins again.
  • Page 39 Tomcat i925X S5130 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup When disabled, the processor's Level 3 cache will be disabled. The processor will bypass the Level 3 cache and rely only on the Level 1 and Level 2 caches. This reduces the performance of the processor.

  • Page 96 Tomcat i925X S5130 Appendix I: Glossary Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).
  • Page 97 Tomcat i925X S5130 Appendix I: Glossary RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly, also the multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system. RAID level 0 is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple hard drives, but offers no fault-tolerance.
