Chapter 3 BIOS Setup
The ROM chip of your CB-6971 board is configured with a customized Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS) from Phoenix-Award BIOS. The BIOS is a set of
permanently recorded program routines that give the system its fundamental
operational characteristics. It also tests the computer and determines how
the computer reacts to instructions that are part of programs.
The BIOS is made up of code and programs that provide the device-level
control for the major I/O devices in the system. It contains a set of routines
(called POST, for Power-On Self Test) that check out the system when you turn
it on. The BIOS also includes CMOS Setup program, so no disk-based setup
program is required CMOS RAM stores information for:
zDate and time
zMemory capacity of the main board
zType of display adapter installed
zNumber and type of disk drives
The CMOS memory is maintained by battery installed on the CB-6971 board.
By using the battery, all memory in CMOS can be retained when the system
power switch is turned off. The system BIOS also supports easy way to
reload the CMOS data when you replace the battery of the battery power lose.
3.1 Quick Setup
In most cases, you can quickly configure the system by choosing the following
main menu options:
1. Choose “Load Optimized Defaults” from the main menu. This loads the
setup default values from the BIOS Features Setup and Chipset Features
Setup screens.
2. Choose “Standard COS Features” from the main menu. This option lets
you configure the date and time, hard disk type, floppy disk drive type,
primary display and more.
3. In the main menu, press F10 (“Save & Exit Setup”) to save your changes
and reboot the system.

3.2 Entering the CMOS Setup Program
Use the CMOS Setup program to modify the system parameters to reflect the
options installed in your system and to customize your system. For example,
you should run the Setup program after you:
zReceived an error code at startup
zInstall another disk drive
zUse your system after not having used it for a long time
zFind the original setup missing
zReplace the battery
zChange to a different type of CPU
zRun the Phoenix-Award Flash program to update the system BIOS
Run the CMOS Setup program after you turn on the system. On-screen
instructions explain how to use the program.
Enter the CMOS Setup program’s main menu as follows:
1. Turn on or reboot the system. After the BIOS performs a series of
diagnostic checks, the following message appears:
“Press DEL to enter SETUP”
2. Press the <DEL> key to enter CMOS Setup program. The main
menu appears:

3. Choose a setup option with the arrow keys and press <Enter>. See
the following sections for a brief description of each setup option.
In the main menu, press F10 (“Save & Exit Setup) to save your changes
and reboot the system. Choosing “EXIT WITHOUT SAVING” ignores
your changes and exits the program. Pressing <ESC> anywhere in the
program returns you to the main menu.
3.3 Menu Options
The main menu options of the CMOS Setup program are described in the
following and the following sections of this chapter.
STANDARD CMOS FEATURES:
Configure the date & time, hard disk drive type, floppy disk drive type, primary
display type and more
ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES:
Configure advanced system options such as enabling/disabling cache memory
and shadow RAM
ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES:
Configure advanced chipset register options such DRAM timing
INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS:
Configure onboard I/O functions
PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION:
Configure Plug & Play IRQ assignments and PCI slots
PC HEALTH STATUS:
Configure the CPU speed and, if the optional system monitor IC is installed,
view system information
LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS:
Loads optimized BIOS settings
SET USER PASSWORD:
Configure the system so that a password is required when the system boots or

you attempt to enter the CMOS setup program. When you log in with this
password, you will be able to enter the CMOS Setup main menu, but you can
not enter other menus in the CMOS Setup program.
SAVE & EXIT SETUP:
Save changes of values to CMOS and exit the CMOS setup program
EXIT WITHOUT SAVING:
Abandon all CMOS changes and exit the CMOS setup program
3.4 Standard CMOS Features Setup
Use the Standard CMOS Setup option as follows:
1. Choose “Standard CMOS Features” from the main menu. The following
screen appears:
2. Use the arrow keys to move between fields. Modify the selected field
using the PgUP/PgDN/+/- keys. Some fields let you enter numeric values
directly.
