    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. The BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions.

  • Page 67: Glossary

    Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications.
  • Page 68 Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connection between the processor and system memory, and between the processor and PCI or ISA local buses. Bus mastering: allows peripheral devices and IDEs to access the system memory without going through the CPU (similar to DMA channels).
  • Page 69 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, is a ROM chip which can, unlike normal ROM, be updated. This allows you to keep up with changes in the BIOS programs without having to buy a new chip. TYAN’s BIOS updates can be found at http://www.tyan.com EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic.
  • Page 70 IDE (Integrated Device/Drive Electronics): a simple, self-contained HDD interface. It can handle drives up to 8.4 GB in size. Almost all IDEs sold now are in fact Enhanced IDEs (EIDEs), with maximum capacity determined by the hardware controller. IDE INT (IDE Interrupt): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE. I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.) Initial Program Load (IPL): a feature built into BBS-compliant devices, describing...
  • Page 71 PCI-to-PCI bridge: allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot. Pipeline burst SRAM: a type of RAM that can maintain it’s data as long as power is provided to the memory chips. In this configuration, SRAM requests are pipelined, which means that larger packets of data are sent to the memory at one time, and acted upon quickly.
  • Page 72 RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where any byte can be accessed without touching the adjacent data, is often used to refer to the system’s main memory. This memory is available to any program running on the computer.
  • Page 73 UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called UltraATA. Without proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. USB (Universal Serial Bus): a versatile port. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port.
