Foreword
To prevent damage to the system board, please handle it with care and follow the measures below,
which are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:
When handling the board, use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge elimination grounded
to a metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. Handle the board by its edges only;
do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge fingers.
Return the Network Appliance system board and peripherals back into the antistatic bag when not in use
or not installed in the chassis.
Some circuitry on the system board can continue to operate even though the power is switched off.
Under no circumstances should the Lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be allowed to
be shorted. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn hazard.
WARNING!
1. "CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS"
2. This guide is for technically qualified personnel who have experience installing and configuring
system boards. Disconnect the system board power supply from its power source before you
connect/disconnect cables or install/remove any system board components. Failure to do this can
result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
3. Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if touched.
4. Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution. Damage to the processor can occur in
seconds.
5. Do not block air vents at least minimum 1/2-inch clearance required.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the
Main Menu just below the control keys section, there is another section, which displays information on the currently
highlighted item in the list.
Note: If the system cannot boot after making and saving
system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports
an override to the CMOS settings that resets your
system to its default.
Warning
: It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have
been carefully chosen by both Award and your system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults
could cause the system to become unstable and crash
in some cases.
Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system
and set the system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not
need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system
hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or
damaged.

Hard Disk Boot Priority
This item allows you to set the priority for hard disk boot. When you press enter, the selections shows the current
hard disks used in your system as well as the “Bootable Add-in Card” that is relevant to other boot sources media
such as SCSI cards and LAN cards.
CPU L1 and L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from
486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache
memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable
the cache function. By default, these items are Enabled.
Hyper-Threading Technology
This feature is enabled when your processor supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Otherwise, this field will be
hidden.
Quick Power On Self Test
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to
Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.
First/Second/Third Boot Device
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The options available
include Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-CDROM and Disable.
Boot Other Device
These fields allow the system to search for an operating system from other devices other than the ones selected in
the First/Second/Third Boot Device.

Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system.
Gate A20 Option
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB.
Typematic Rate Setting
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. When enabled,
you can set the two typematic controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated keystrokes speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30
characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for displaying the first and second
characters. By default, this item is set to 250msec.
Security Option
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default value is Setup. When you select System,
the system prompts for the User Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system always
boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up.
APIC Mode
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The default setting is Enabled.
MPS Version Control for OS
This option is specifies the MPS (Multiprocessor Specification) version for your operating system. MPS version 1.4
added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations and improve future
expandability. The default setting is 1.4.
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory when used with OS/2 that depends
on certain BIOS calls to access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2.
Console Redirection
Set the Console Redirection from COM port to UNIX terminal on BIOS boot up.
Default : Enabled
Baud Rate
The default value of the Baud Rate is 19200.
Agent Connect Via
By default, this item is set to NULL.
Agent Wait Time (min)
By default, the Agent Wait Time is set to 1 minute.
Agent After Boot
By default, this field is disabled.
Report No FDD For WIN 95
If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass
Windows 95/98's SCT test. You should also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the Integrated Peripherals
screen when there's no floppy drive in the system. If you set this feature to Disabled, the BIOS will not report the
missing floppy drive to Win95/98.
Small Logo (EPA) Show
The EPA logo appears at the right side of the monitor screen when the system is boot up. The default setting is
Disabled.

This option refers to the method by which the DRAM timing is selected. The default is By SPD.
CAS Latency Time
You can configure CAS latency time in HCLKs as 2 or 2.5 or 3. The system board designer should set the values in
this field, depending on the DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change specifications
of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe)
signals. This delay occurs when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the delay improves the
performance of the SDRAM.
DRAM RAS# Precharge
This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate its charge before the SDRAM refreshes.
The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is Auto.
Precharge Delay
The default setting for the Precharge Delay is Auto.
System Memory Frequency
This field sets the frequency of the DRAM memory installed. The default setting is Auto. The other settings are
DDR266, DDR333, DDR320 and DDR400.
System BIOS Cacheable
The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system
performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
Video BIOS Cacheable
The Setting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-F7FFFh, resulting in better video
performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
