System Utilities

About the Setup Utility

The computer uses the latest Award BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the main board contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the main board BIOS. The BIOS Setup Utility displays the systems configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS. The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure: Hard drives, diskette drives and peripheral Video display type and display options Password protection from unauthorized use Power Management features The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.
The Standard Configuration
A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future. This Setup Utility should be used: when changing the system configuration when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup Utility when trying to revolve IRQ conflicts when making changes to the Power Management configuration

Entering the Setup Utility
When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self-Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears: Press DEL to enter SETUP Press the delete key to have access to the BIOS Setup Utility. NOTE: If the message disappears before you respond and you still want to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing [Ctrl + Alt + Delete].

The BIOS navigation keys are listed below: ESC: Exits the current menu. : Scrolls through the items on a menu. +/-/PU/PD: Modifies the selected fields values. F10: Saves the current configuration and exits setup. F1: Displays a screen that describes all key functions. F5: Loads previously saved values to CMOS. F7: Loads an optimum set of values for peak performance.

Using BIOS

When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu will appear. The main menu of the Setup Utility displays a list of the options that are available. A highlight indicates which options is currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, execute the option by pressing <Enter>. Some options lead to pop-up dialog box that prompt you to verify that you want to execute that option. Other options lead to dialog boxes that prompt you for information. Some options (marked with a triangle) lead to submenus that enable you to change the values for that option. Use the cursor arrow keys to scroll through the items in the submenu. In this chapter, default values are enclosed in parenthesis. Submenu items are denoted by a triangle.

Power Management Setup

This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending on RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed by certain events.

PnP/PCI Configurations

This options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your system. Both the ISA and PCI buses on the main board use system IRQs (Interrupt ReQuests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI Configurations Setup utility for the main board to work properly.

Setting Jumper

Use the main board jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.

Illustration

Description The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.
This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.
