4 Built-in BIOS SETUP Program 4.1 SETUP Program Use the BIOS for UM4980 to record changes in your hardware and to con- trol its special features. The Setup program uses a number of menus in which you can specify changes to your hardware and turn the special fea- tures to on or off.

Fixed Disk Setup - allows for automatic detection of the hard disk drive type including the number of cylinders and heads write pre-com- per track. system for the Advanced System SETUP - sets the various user, including the internal/external cache memory fun&tons, ISA fea- tures, video and system shadowing etc..
System Setup Date: Diskette Drlue CI: Figure 4-2. System Setup System Time - includes hour, minutes, seconds but only the values of hour and minute can be set. System Date - allows manual setting of the electronic calendar on the main- board..
4.3 Fixed Disk Setup The Fixed Disk Setup provides auto configuration of the hard drive installed in the system. After pressing the < Enter > key on this item on the main menu, the screen will display the following screen. Fixed Disk 9 Control Disk Fixed...

User’s 4.4 Advanced Chipset SETUP The Advanced System Setup allows the user to program three main groups of parameters under the Advanced System Setup namely the System Tim- ing, the Memory Shadow, and the Advanced chipset Control. This BIOS Setup parameter is designed for programmers who wish to fine tune the on- board chipset.

Auto Configuration - Disabling this option allows the values for the other parameters to be changed. Enabling it will restrict you from making any changes. Cache ReadHit Wait State - determines the number of cycle times to be inserted when CPU reads data to cache. The setting depends on the speed of the CPU and SRAM.

AT Bus Clock Select - specifies the speed of the AT Bus clock of the system. The available options are: Sampling Activity Time - selects the delay time when the chipset moni- tors and samples SMI. The available options are: No Delay Delay 1 T Memory Shadow...

Shadow Memory Regions - shadows the option ROM located in the speci- fied blocks of memory, and can improve the system performance. Note: Some option ROMs do not work properly when shad- owed. Advanced Chipset Control Selecting Advanced Chipset Control from the Advanced System Setup main menu displays the following screen.

Manual DRAM Parity Check - During a local memory read cycle, the UM8498F not only monitors bus steering, but also checks the parity bit for each data byte from DRAM to ensure that the correct.data is read. The available op- tions are: Enabled Disabled (default)
User’s 4.5 Boot Options Floppy check:: Boot sequence: P6 Default Corflguration Figure 4- Boot Options Screen Floppy check - allows the system to search and verify the floppy drives aur- ing boot. The default value for this option is Boot sequence - sets the sequence from where the BIOS will attempt to load the operating system.
4.6 Security Security Disabled Diskette access: E n t e r ESC Exlt Security Screen Figure 4- I I. Supervisor Password is - shows whether the supervisor password is en- abled or disabled (default). User Password is - shows whether the user password is enabled or disabled (default).

Non-SMI CPU Support - selects the interrupt request signal to replace System Management Interrupt (SMI) events when the CPU does not support SMI. The options are: By IRQ IO (default) Hard Disk Standby Timer - sets the time interval after hard disk inac- tivity when the system events enter STANDBY mode.
4.8 Load ROM Default Values If, during bootup, the BIOS program detects a problem in the integrity of the CMOS, it will display a message asking you to either press the <DEL> key to run Setup or the < ably means that the CMOS values have been corrupted or modified incor- rectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS.
Load Values from CMOS If, during a Setup session, you change your mind about your selections and have not yet saved the values to CMOS, you can restore the values you pre- viously saved to CMOS. Select Load Values from CMOS on the Main Menu and the program will display the following screen.
4.10 Save Values to CMOS After making your selections on the SEtup menus, always select Save Val- ues to CMOS in order to make them operative. Unlike standard RAM mem- ory, CMOS RAM is sustained by an on-board battery and stays on after you turn your system off.
4.11 Quitting Setup After making all modifications in the Setup program, go to the option “Save Values to CMOS’ then press the < Enter > key or simply press the you would like to save and exit or not. Use the arrow keys or press < Y > for Yes then the < Enter > key to save your settings before exiting.
