Detailed AWARD BIOS settings

AWARD is the world’s largest manufacturers of BIOS, its products have been widely used. However, because of the AWARD BIOS which are based on information in English and required the user to the relevant professional knowledge to understand the relative depth, making ordinary users find it difficult to set up a lot. If these settings are wrong, it will affect the performance of the whole computer set up is not normal use, so a detailed description of the settings are necessary. Click on the following introduction in the AWARD BIOS setup options on the meaning of methods and settings.
Standard CMOS Setup】 【(standard configuration)
In this menu, the user can modify the date, time, the first IDE master device (hard drive) and IDE devices (hard disk or CD-ROM), the second IDE master device (hard drive or CD-ROM) and from the IDE device (hard disk or CD-ROM), floppy drive A and B, the type of display system, and cause an error status to start the suspension system. Mainly as follows:
(1) users can Type (type) and Mode (mode) is set to Auto, so that BIOS automatically detects the hard disk. At the main menu can also be the IDE HDD Auto Detection 【】 to set up operations. Users can also use the User option, and manually set the parameters of the hard disk. You must enter the number of cylinders (Cyls), heads (Heads), to write pre-compensation (Precomp), head landing zone (Landz), the number of sectors per cylinder (Sectorxs), operating mode (Mode, the content see below), etc. several parameters. Hard disk size in the above-mentioned parameters automatically generated.
Hard disk mode (MODE) of the three options:
NORMAL mode: The standard model of traditional, hard disk capacity to support up to 528MB.
LARGE mode: When the hard disk capacity of more than 528MB, while the hard disk or operating system does not support LBA mode, use this option.
LBA mode (Logical Block Addressing Mode): applicable to hard drive capacity and support more than 528M “logical block address” (LBA) function (in general use of the)

(2) shows the type of optional EGA / VGA (EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA, PGA show optional adapter), CGA40 (CGA display card, 40 ways), CGA80 (CGA display card, 80 ways), MONO (monochrome display, including a single high-resolution graphics) four, the user should be selected according to the situation right.
(3) to suspend the error status options are:
1. AllErrors: BIOS detects any errors, systems are closed to start and give an error prompt.
2. NoErrors: BIOS did not detect any errors start to suspend the system.
3. All, But Keyboard: In addition to keyboard error, BIOS detects any other errors, are closed systems and give an error prompt start.
4. All, But Disk / Key: In addition to the keyboard, disk error, BIOS detects any other errors, are closed systems and give an error prompt start.
BIOS Features Setup】 【(function settings)
The system used to set up a list of configuration options, some of which design option identified by the motherboard itself, some of the options the user can modify settings to improve the performance of the system. Mainly as follows:
(1) VirusWarning: virus defense warning (default value is Disable), this feature prevents the key to magnetic hard drives and partitions to be changed, any attempt to write the operation of the area will lead to system crashes and the form of a warning message.
Note: When installing a new operating system (such as Win95), please cancel (disable) this feature, so as to avoid the conflict can not be installed successfully.
(2) CPU Internal Cache: The default for the Enable (Open), it allows the system uses the first class CPU internal Cache. 486,586 grade CPU with internal generally Cache, unless the set is turned on when the system is not working correctly, the general not to be easily altered. If the home for the Disable (turn off), will reduce the performance of the system.
(3) External Cache: Default is set to Enable, used to control it on the main board of the second class (L2) Cache. Whether or not the motherboard with on the basis of Cache, select the settings.
(4) Quick Power On Self Test: The default is set to Enable, the main function is to speed up the process of system self-test on electricity, it will skip a number of self-test. So that to speed up the boot process.
(5) IDE HDD Block Mode Sectors: IDE hard drive settings, the default value of HDDMAX. Most of the new IDE hard drive to support more than one transfer function of the magnetic block. Enable (enable) this feature can speed up disk access speed. Options have HDDMAX, Disabled, 2,4,8,16, and 32.
(6) HDD Sequence SCSI / IDE First: IDE / SCSI hard disk boot priority settings, default values for the IDE. At the same time as SCSI and IDE hard disk installed, the option can be used to select a SCSI or IDE hard drive as a boot hard disk.
(7) BootSequence: drive select the boot sequence. Generally have the following boot sequence:
[A, CD-ROM, C], [CD-ROM, C, A], [D, A], [E, A], [F, A], [C only], [A, C], [ C, A]
Please note that some older motherboards do not support boot from CD-ROM, and now the new motherboard an increase of more start-up sequence such as LS120, ZIP, etc..
(8) Swap Floppy Drive: (the exchange of floppy disk drive) by default is set to Disable. Disable the time when it, BIOS floppy drive to connect to the access terminal then twisting the floppy disk drive as the first drive. When it is turned on, BIOS floppy will connect the docking terminal received the first floppy disk drive as a drive that DOS at B of A site as a disk with, B as A disk with disk.
(9) BootUp Floppy Seek: When Enable, the BIOS will boot the machine to the floppy seek operation.
(10) Floppy Disk Access Contol: When the election in the R / W status, the floppy drive can read and write, others can only read status.
(11) BootUp Numlock Strtus: This option is used to set the default status of small keyboard. When set to ON, the system is activated, the default keyboard for a small figure status; set to OFF, the system is activated, a small keyboard arrow status for the status.
(12) BootUp System Speed: This option is used to determine the speed of boot time for HIGH or LOW.
(13) Typematic Rate Setting: the optional Enable and Disable. When set to Enable, if the press on a keyboard key, the machine by pressing the button you deal with duplicate (duplicate keys at the speed of the following options can be set); when home for the Disable, if the press on a keyboard key, the machine keys to the key time to treat.
(14) Typematic Rate: If the above option set to Enable, then this option can be set when you press a key on the keyboard a second, then press the button is equivalent to 6 times. The optional 6,8,10,12,15,20,24,30.
(15) Typematic Delay: If (13) option to buy for Enable, then this option can be set by pressing a key, long after many delays as a start type of the duplicate key. 250,500,750,1000 the optional unit in milliseconds.
(16) Security Option: Choose System at each start-up when you are prompted to enter a password, select Setup, the only time to enter the CMOS Setup will prompt you to enter a password (this setting is only set up a password at effectively).
(17) PS/2Mouse Function Control: When this is set to Enable, the machine provides for the PS / 2 type mouse support. Otherwise, choose Disable.
(18) Assign PCI IRQ For VGA: choose Enable, the machine will automatically set the IRQ of the PCI graphics card to the system of DRAM in order to improve the speed and improve the display performance of the system.
(19) PCI / VGA Palett Snoop: used to set the PCI / VGA Card Can MPEGISA / VESAVGA card use. When PCI / VGA card and MPEGISA / VESAVGA card when the should be set to Enable, otherwise, is set to Disable.
(20) OS / 2 Select For DRAM> 64MB: this allows you to OS / 2 operating system, the use of more than 64M of memory. Optional for the NON-OS2, OS2.
(21) System BIOS Shadow: This option defaults to the default setting Enable, when it opened, the system BIOS will be copied to the system Dram in order to improve system speed and improve the performance of the system.
(22) Video BIOS Shadow: The default is set to open (Enable), when it opened, the display card’s BIOS will be copied to the DRAM in the system to enhance speed and improve the display performance of the system.
(23) C8000-CBFFF Shadow / DFFFF Shadow: These memory regions used for other expansion card ROM mapped area, are generally set to prohibit the (Disable). If there is a need for expansion card ROM mapping, the user should be mapped out of the ROM address and the scope of the above can have some memory region home to Enable; but this will result in waste of memory space. Since the address space mapping area will be occupied by the system between 640K ~ 1024K memory for a certain period.

Chipset Features Setup】 【(chipset feature set)
The system used to set the characteristics of on-board chips. It has the following options:
Note: This menu option will be different for different motherboards, if you do not know their function, the best set to default values.
(1) ISA Bus Clockfrequency (PCICLK / 4) ISA: the rate of transfer rate settings, set the value there is: PCICLK / 3; PCICLK / 4.
(2) Auto Configuration: automatic status setting, when set to Enabled when the BIOS setting status in accordance with the best situation, when the BIOS will automatically set DRAMTiming, so there can not be modified DRAM timing breakdown, we strongly suggest that selection Enabled, because any change in the DRAM timing may cause system instability or not to boot.
(3) Aggressive Mode: High mode settings, when you want to get better performance when the system is very stable and the state, this feature can be Enabled to try to increase system performance, but must use a faster DRAM (60ns or less) .
(4) VIDEO BIOS Cacheable: (video cache function, the default value is Disable), to Enable, the opening of the cache to speed up the display speed function; to Disable, the cancellation of this feature.
(5) Memory Holeat Address: (default value is None), some ISA cards will be asked to use 14-16MB or 15-16MB memory address space, if the select 14MB-16MB or 15MB-16MB, the system will not be able to use this copies of the memory space. You can select None to cancel this feature.
(6) OnboardFDC SwapA: B: (A, B swap disk, the default value of NoSwap), when enabled (enable) this feature is A, B swap disk. A disk which originally was designated as B site, B site was designated as the A disk. This way, you do not need to open chassis swap the cable.
(7) OnboardSerialPort1: (default value is 3F8H/IRQ4), set the motherboard serial port on one address and IRQ, there is the option: 3F8H/IRO4, 2F8H/IRQ3, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10, Disable .
(8) OnboardSerialPort2: (default value is 2F8H/IRQ3), set the motherboard serial port 2 on the address and IRQ, there is the option: 3F8H/IRQ4, 2F8H/IRQ8, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10, Disable .
(9) OnboardParallelPort: (default value is 378H/IRQ7), set the parallel port on the motherboard of the address and IRQ.
(10) Parallel PortMode: (parallel port mode, the default value of ECP + EPP), the parallel mode of operation has the following options:
Normal: the general rate of one-way operation.
EPP: the maximum speed of two-way operation.
ECP: ultra-high-speed dual-self-running.
ECP + EPP: ECP and EPP modes and two.
(11) ECP DMA Select: (ECP DMA channel selection, the default value is 3), if in ECP mode operation, the DMA channel selection is available, there is 1,3, Disable the three settings.
(12) UART2 UseInfrared: (default value䀼/ textarea>
