    Suspend To RAM Installation A.1 Introduce STR function: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state.
  • Page 32 7ZX-H Motherboard Step 2: (If you want to use STR Function, please set jumper JP7 Closed.) Step 3: Power on the computer and as soon as memory counting starts, press <Del>. You will enter BIOS Setup. Select the item “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, then select “ Type : S3 / STR”.
  • Page 33 A.3 How to put your system into STR mode? There are two ways to accomplish this: Choose the “Stand by” item in the “Shut Down Windows” area. A. Press the “Start” button and then select “Shut Down” B. Choose the “Stand by” item and press “OK” Suspend to RAM Installation...

  • Page 36 7ZX-H Motherboard A.5 Notices: In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must be satisfied: Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current). Your SDRAM must be PC-100/PC-133 compliant. Jumper JP8 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis.
  • Page 37: Dual Bios Introduction (Optional)

    Dual BIOS Introduction (Optional) What is Dual BIOS Technology? Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on.

Auto Recovery : Enable(Default), Disable When one of the Main BIOS or Backup BIOS occurs checksum failure, the working BIOS will automatically recover the BIOS of checksum failure.
  • Page 40 DualBIOS Technology FAQ GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newness “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-7ZX-H motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.
  • Page 41 I. Q: What is DualBIOS technology? Answer: DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
  • Page 42 7ZX-H Motherboard III. Q: How does DualBIOS technology work? Answer: 1. DualBIOS technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment.
  • Page 43 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly.
