FWH(FirmwareHub)Protection
TheBIOSofthemainboardisinsidethe FWH.SomeseverevirusessuchasCIHvirusare
sodangerousthatitmayoverwritetheBIOSofthe mainboard.IftheBIOShasbeen
damaged,thesystemwill be unabletoboot. Weprovide the following solution which
protectsthesystemBIOSfrombeing attackedbysuchviruses.
Herearetwochoiceswhichimplementsthisfunction.
1.Setthejumper(JAV)asclosed,theBIOScannotbeoverwritten.
2.Setthejumper(JAV)asopen,meanwhileset“FlashWriteProtect”asEnabledin
AWARD BIOSCMOSSetup.Inthisway,the BIOScannotbe overwritten,buttheDMI
informationcanbeupdated.
Refertopage16 fordetailedinformationonjumpersetting,and page26 forrelated
BIOSsetting.
SuspendtoRAM
SuspendtoRAMisacost-effective,optimalimplementation oftheAdvancedConfigura-
tion and PowerInterface(ACPI)1.0specification,whichmakesaPC’spowerconsump-
tiondrop tothe lowestpossiblelevelandenablesquickwakeup.Whenthe systemisin
Suspend-to-RAMstatus,thesystemcontextismaintainedinsystemmemory,thesystem
consumesonlyasmallfractionofthe powerused forfulloperation.Insteadofshutting
downthe systemtosavepowerwhen notinuseandthenhavingtorebootlater,Sus-
pend-to-RAMsolutionenablesthe systemtoquicklywakeup,restoringallapplications
andfeatures,enablingoperationinafewseconds.
Toimplementthisfunction,thefollowingrequirmentsareessential:
1.Powersupplyrequirements:Thecurrentof5VSB lineofthepowersupplyshouldbe
morethan 0.75A.
2.The BIOSoption“ACPIfunction”shouldbe enabled,and“ACPISuspendType”should
besetasS3inAWARD BIOSCMOSsetup.Refertopage28 fordetailedinformation.
3.AnACPI-enabled operating systemsuchasWindows98 isneeded.
NavigatetotheCD-ROMdrivefromthe MS-DOSCommandPromptandenterthe
following fromtheWin98 directoryontheCD:
D:\SETUP/PJ
(ThismanualassumesthatyourCD-ROMdevicedriverletterisD:)
Windows98willbeinstalledwithACPIenabled.

4.Three waystoenterSuspend-to-RAMstatusunderACPI-enabledWindows98:
lClick Start->Shutdown->StandbytoenablethesystemtoenterSuspend-to-
RAMstatus.

chooseStandbyitem,thesystemwill enterSuspend-to-RAMstatuswhenyou

LAN,Wake-on-ModemfunctionorRTCAlarm.Ifthekeyboardpasswordpower-on function
isenabled,the keyboardpasswordshouldbe used towakeup thesysteminsteadof
pushingthepowerbutton.
UltraATA/66
According tothepreviousATA/IDEharddrivedatatransferprotocol,thesignaling wayto
send datawasinsynchronousstrobemodebyusing therising edgeofthestrobesignal.
TheUltraATA/33 protocoldoublesthebursttransferratefrom16.6MB/sto33.3MB/s,by
using boththerising and falling edgesofthestrobesignal,thistimeUltraATA/66doubles
the UltraATAbursttransferrateonceagain(from33.3MB/sto66.6MB/s)byreducing setup
timesandincreasingthestroberate.ThefasterstroberateincreasesEMI,whichcannotbe
eliminatedbythestandard40-pincableusedbyATAandUltraATA.Toeliminatethis
increaseinEMI,anew40-pin,80-conductorcableisneeded.Thiscableadds40additional
ground linesbetweeneachoftheoriginal40ground and signallines.Theadditional40lines
helpshieldthesignalfromEMI,reducecrosstalkand improvesignalintegrity.
UltraATA/33introduced CRC(CyclicalRedundancy Check),anewfeatureofIDEthat
providesdataintegrityand reliability.UltraATA/66 usesthesameprocess.TheCRC value
iscalculatedbyboththehostand theharddrive.Afterthe host-requestdataissent, the
hostsendsitsCRC totheharddrive,and theharddrivecomparesittoitsownCRCvalue.
Iftheharddrivereportserrorstothe host, thenthehostretriesthe commandcontaining
