Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration 6.1 BIOS Introduction The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration 6.3 Standard CMOS Setup “Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option.
Page 39
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration Time The time format is: Hour : 00 to 23 Minute : 00 to 59 Second : 00 to 59 To set the time, highlight the “Time” field and use the <PgUp>/ <PgDn> or +/- keys to set the current time. IDE Primary HDDs / IDE Secondary HDDs The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four IDE hard disks or other IDE devices.

Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration Video This field selects the type of video display card installed in your system. You can choose the following video display cards: EGA/VGA For EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA or PGA monitor adapters. (default) CGA 40 Power up in 40 column mode. CGA 80 Power up in 80 column mode.
Page 42
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration Quick Power On Self Test When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items. First/Second/Third Boot Device These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system.
Page 43
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated keystrokes speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30 characters per second. Typematic Delay (Msec) When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for displaying the first and second characters.
Page 45
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration System BIOS Cacheable The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Video BIOS Cacheable The Setting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-F7FFFh, resulting in better video performance.
Page 47
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode. IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 66Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/66 feature.
Page 48
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration Onboard Serial/Parallel Port These fields allow you to select the onboard serial and parallel ports and their addresses. The default values for these ports are: Serial Port 1 3F8/IRQ4 Serial Port 2 2F8/IRQ3 Parallel Port 378H/IRQ7 UART Mode Select This field determines the UART mode in your computer.
Page 50
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration Video Off Method This field defines the Video Off features. There are three options. V/H SYNC + Blank Default setting, blank the screen and turn off vertical and horizontal scanning. DPMS Allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature.

Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration CPU Thermal-Throttling The CPU Thermal Throttling function, by default, is set to 62.5% Resume by Alarm This field enables or disables the resumption of the system operation. When enabled, the user is allowed to set the Date and Time. Reload Global Timer Events The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events which can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken...
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration 6.13 Set Supervisor/User Password These two options set the system password. Supervisor Password sets a password that will be used to protect the system and Setup utility. User Password sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system. To specify a password, highlight the type you want and press <Enter>.
Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration 6.14 Save & Exit Setup This option allows you to determine whether or not to accept the modifications. If you type “Y”, you will quit the setup utility and save all changes into the CMOS memory. If you type “N”, you will return to Setup utility.
