4.4 Advanced BIOS Features This section allows the user to configure the system for basic operation. The following features can be selected here: system default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation, shadowing, security, and CPU Internal Cache/CPU External Cache. 4.4.1 CPU Internal Cache This function enables/disables CPU Internal Cache.
POST. Options: Enabled: enables quick POST. Disabled: normal POST. 4.4.3 First/Second/Third Boot Device Pressing Enter brings up the Boot Device Menu. The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the selected device. See menu for possible options 4.4.4 Boot Other Device When enabled, the BIOS will try to boot from second or third option if booting from first device fails.
Normal: A pin in the keyboard controller controls GateA20 Fast: Lets chipset control GateA20 4.4.7 Typematic Rate Setting Key strokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard control- ler. When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected.
4.4.12 Console Redirection Award's Preboot Agent provides you with console redirection to let you control a remote PC or embedded system via modem or direct serial connection at boot time. Choices: Enable, Disable. 4.4.13 Baudrate Select baud rate: 9600,19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200. 4.4.14 Agent Connect via Fixed to NULL (Null modem cable), no selection possible.
The Baud Rate setting between module and monitoring computer must be the same. When different, a error message "Award Pre- boot Agent Installation Failed" will display when BIOS is building the connection between two computers. 4.4.20 Agent Connect via This field selects connection mode. Only supported is: NULL mode.
4.5 Advanced Chipset Features 4.5.1 Video Memory Size The NuPRO-796 VGA controller uses a portion of system memory as video memory. The use of main system memory for video memory is called Unified Memory Architecture (UMA). The amount of system memory that can be assigned to the video controller is: None, 4 , 6, 8, 12 or 16 MB.
4.6 Integrated Peripherals 4.6.1 OnChip IDE Channel 0/1 The chipset contains a PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate the primary IDE interface. Select Disabled to deactivate this interface 4.6.2 Master/Slave PIO The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports.
determines the best mode for each device. Choice: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4. 4.6.3 IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA Ultra DMA implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver. If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA, select Auto to enable BIOS support.
4.7 PnP/PCI Configurations This section describes the configuring of the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Inter¬connect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. 4.7.1 Init Display First This item allows you to decide to activate either PCI Slot VGA con- troller or the integrated onboard VGA controller...
caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot. 4.7.3 Resource Controlled By The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices. If Auto is selected, all interrupt requests (IRQ) and DMA assignment fields disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them.
4.7.5 DMA Resources Legacy ISA for devices compliant with the original PC/AT bus specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port 1). PCI/ISA PnP for devices that comply with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture. architecture.
4.7.6 Memory Resources The memory resource menu allows you to exclude memory from being used by the system. In the menu you can both set the start address as well as the memory length. Select a base address for the memory area used by any periph- eral that requires high memory.
This option is only very rarely needed. It should be left at "Dis- abled" unless a video device specifically requires the setting enabled upon installation. 4.8 PC Health Status 4.8.1 Current System Temp. Displays the current system temperature measured on the rear side of the module 4.8.2 Current CPU1 Temp.
BIOS POST Messages If BIOS detects an error during the Power On Self-Test (POST), it will prompt the user by either sounding a beep code or displaying a message. If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by: PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP 4.9.1 POST Beep Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS : This first beep code indicates that a video error has...
