Chapter3 BIOS Setup Chapter 3 . BIOS Setup The AMI‘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.
Chapter3 BIOS Setup Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings: This option allows you to load the default values to your system configuration. These default settings are optimal and enable all high performance features. Save Settings and Exit: Save changes to CMOS and exit setup. Exit Without Saving: Abandon all changes and exit setup.
Chapter3 BIOS Setup Boot Sector Virus Protection: The item is to set the Virus Warning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector protection. When Enabled , BIOS will issue a virus warning message and beep if a write to the boot sector or the partition table of the HDD is attempted.
Page 29
Chapter3 BIOS Setup Boot Device: The items allow you to set the sequence of boot devices where AMIBIOS attempts to load the operation system. Possible settings are: IDE-0 The system will boot from the first HDD. IDE-1 The system will boot from the second HDD. IDE-2 The system will boot from the third HDD.

Chapter3 BIOS Setup Password Check : This option enables password checking every time the computer is powered on or every time AMI BIOS Setup is executed. If Always is chosen, a user password prompt appears every time the computer is turned on. If Setup is chosen, the password prompt appears if AMI BIOS is executed. The Optimal and Power-On defaults are Setup .

Chapter3 BIOS Setup DMA Clock Frequency: This option sets the DMA controller clock. DMA MEMR IOW Synchronous: If enabled, the DMA controller will assert MEMR# at the same time as IOW#. If disabled, MEMR# will be asserted one clock after IOW#. DMA 16 Bit Wait State Cycles: This option specifies the number of wait states in 16-bit DMA cycle.

Chapter3 BIOS Setup DMA Activity: Detect the presence or absence of DMA request activities. PCI Master Activity: Detect the presence or absence of PCI Master device activities. Parallel IO Activity: Detect the presence or absence of Parallel IO activities. Serial IO Activity: Detect the presence or absence of Serial IO activities. Keyboard Activity: This option allows you to enable event monitoring on the keyboard.
Chapter3 BIOS Setup 3.7 PCI Plug and Play Setup Both the ISA and PCI buses on the CPU card use system IRQs & DMAs. You must set up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PCI / Plug and Play Setup utility, otherwise the SBC will not work properly.
Chapter3 BIOS Setup IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15: These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it.
