Page 35: Bios Setup Overview
4-1. BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW The BIOS is a program used to initialize and set up the I/O system of the computer, which includes the PCI bus and connected devices such as the video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard. The BIOS provides a menu-based interface to the console subsystem. The console subsystem contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the hardware components and facilitates interaction between the system hardware and the operating system. -
Page 36: Standard Cmos Setup
4-2. STANDARD CMOS SETUP The <Standard CMOS Setup> option allows you to record some basic system hardware configurations and set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option anymore. AMIBIOS SETUP - STANDARD CMOS SETUP (C) 1999 American Megatrends, Inc. -

errors. 4-3. ADVANCED CMOS SETUP The <Advanced CMOS Setup> option consists of configuration entries that allow you to improve your system performance, or let you set up some system features according to your preference. Some entries here are required by the CPU board’s design to remain in their default settings. AMIBIOS SETUP - ADVANCED CMOS SETUP (C) 1999 American Megatrends, Inc. - Page 38 HDD Access Control This option determines the hard disk access method, which can be either read only or normal (read/write). When set to read only, the data in the hard disk is allowed to be read instead of being written.” Normal” allows the floppy to be read or written.
- Page 39 Hit ‘DEL’ Message Display Set this option to Disabled to prevent the following message: Hit ‘DEL’ if you want to run setup It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the computer boots. Internal Cache This option specifies the caching algorithm used for the L1 internal cache memory.

Page 42: Power Management
4-5. POWER MANAGEMENT This section is used to configure the power management features. This <Power management Setup> option allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of inactivity. MIBIOS SETUP - Power Management Setup (C) 1998 American Megatrends, Inc. - Page 43 Suspend Time Out(minute) These options specify the length of the period of system inactivity when the computer is already in Standby mode before the computer is placed on Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, nearly all power use is curtailed. Throttle Slow Clock Ratio This item is to set up the Operating Frequency of system clock in power saving mode, to set a suitable clock frequency ratio which between standard CPU clock and CPU clock in power saving mode when the system is in suspend mode.

Page 44: Pci/Plug And Play
4-6. PCI/PLUG AND PLAY This section is used to configure PCI / Plug and Play features. The <PCI & PNP Setup> option configures the PCI bus slots. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value. - Page 45 PCI VGA Palette Snoop This item is for BIOS to snoop the appearance of VGA palette, and modify it when necessary. PCI IDE BusMaster When Enabled this option specifies that the IDE controller on the PCI local bus has bus mastering capability. PCI Slot1/2/3/4 IRQ Priority The parameters of this item will set a interrupt signal to the PCI device fixed in the 1-4 PCI slot by priority.
