CHAPTER 3. AWARD BIOS SETUP Award‘s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows user to modify the basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM so that these data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless there is configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed.

GLOSSARY 8-Bit Bus – Data is transmitted to expansion slots and other components on the bus only along 8 parallel data line. 10Base-T – It is a 10Mbps IEEE 802.3/Ethernet standard that uses unshielded twisted pair cable specification. 10Base-T supports network configuration using the CSMA/CD access method over a twisted pair transmission system up to 100 meters in length without the use of repeater.

EISA, VL-Bus, PCI and SCSI are examples of PC buses. Bus Mastering – A method of transferring data through a bus in which the device takes over the bus and directly controls the transfer of data to the computer’s memory. Bus mastering is a method of Direct Memory Access ( DMA ) transfer.

LDCM (LANDesk Client Manager) – With the help of LDCM, PCs that are either stand-alone or on a network can not escape the control of a system administrator. Alerts will be sent to the user if an abnormal condition is encountered in a PC. It allows the administrator to give each PC a thorough check-up.

much better performance. You should look for PCI local bus capabilities in any system you buy, especially PCI local bus video (which helps the monitor display more quickly). POST (Power-On Self-Test) – is the first thing your PC does when you turn it on, and it’s your first warning of trouble with any of the components.

Ultra SCSI. Ultra SCSI – Also known as SCSI-3, is a third generation SCSI standard that introduced parallel bus speed improvements (FAST-20 and FAST-40), an the miniaturized 68-pin micro connector. USB (Universal Serial Bus) – USB consolidates serial, parallel, keyboard, mouse, and game ports into one asynchronous and isochronous communications port with bandwidth for data transfer speeds up to 12 Mbps without termination.
