BIOS Setup
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Phoenix-Award™
BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to
modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM.
The power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup
inform ation when the power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage o f the booting process, loading and executing the
operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password
protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in
BIOS Setup.
Plug and Pla y Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A
speci fication and ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write.
EPA Green PC Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 o f the EPA Green PC
speci fication.
APM Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advan ced
Power Management (APM) specification. Power management features are
implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend
power management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk drives and
video monitors can also be managed by this PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS.

ACPI Support
Phoenix-Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0b of Advan ced Con figuration
and Power interface speci fi cation (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power
management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI
speci fication, developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.
PCI Bus Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS also supports Version 3.0 of the Int el PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) local bus specification.
DRAM Support
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) is supported.
Supported CPUs
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Intel CPU.
Using Setup
Use the arrow keys to highlight items in most of the place, press <Enter> to
select, use the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, press <F1> for help
and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to
navigate in the Setup program by using the keyboard.
