BIOS-ProtectEasy
The BIOSofthemainboardiscontained inside the FlashROM.SeverevirusessuchasCIH
virusaresodangerousthatitmayoverwritethe BIOSofthe mainboard.If the BIOShas
been damaged,the systemwill be unabletoboot. Weprovide the following solution which
protectsthe systemBIOSfrombeing attackedbysuchviruses.
Therearetwochoiceswhichcan implementthisfunction.
1.Setthe jumper(JAV)asclosed,the BIOScan notbe overwritten.
2.Setthe jumper(JAV)asopen,meanwhileset“BIOS-ProtectEasy”asEnabledinAWARD
BIOSCMOSSetup.Inthisway,the BIOScannotbe overwritten,buttheDMIinformation
can be updated.
Refertopage 14 fordetailed information on jumpersetting,and page 22 forrelated BIOS
setting.
UltraATA/66
According tothe previousATA/IDEharddrivedatatransferprotocol,the signaling wayto
send datawasinsynchronousstrobe mode byusing the rising edge ofthe strobe signal.
The UltraATA/33 protocoldoublesthe bursttransferratefrom16.6MB/sto33.3MB/s,by
using boththe rising and falling edgesofthe strobe signal,thistimeUltraATA/66 doubles
the UltraATAbursttransferrateonceagain(from33.3MB/sto66.6MB/s)byreducing setup
timesandincreasing the stroberate.Thefasterstrobe rateincreasesEMI, whichcannotbe
eliminated bythe standard40-pincableused byATAand UltraATA.Toeliminatethis
increaseinEMI, anew40-pin,80-conductorcableisneeded.Thiscableadds40 additional
ground linesbetween eachoftheoriginal40 ground andsignallines.The additional40 lines
helpshieldthe signalfromEMI,reducecrosstalkand improvessignalintegrity.
UltraATA/33 introduced CRC (CyclicalRedundancy Check),anewfeatureofIDEthat
providesdataintegrityandreliability.UltraATA/66usesthe sameprocess.TheCRC value
iscalculated byboththe hostand the harddrive.Afterthehost-requestdataissent, the
hostsendsitsCRCtothe harddrive,andtheharddrivecomparesittoitsownCRC value.
If the harddrivereportserrorstothe host, then the hostretriesthe command containing
theCRCerror.
UltraATA/66 technologyincreasesbothperformanceand dateintegrity.Howeverthere
arebasicallyfiverequirementsforyoursystemtorun inUltraATA/66 mode:
1.The systemboardmusthaveaspecialUltraATA/66detectcircuit, suchas
KinetiZ7Amainboard.
2.The systemBIOSmustalsosupportUltraATA/66.
3.The operating systemmustbe capableofDMAtransfers.Win95 (OSR2),
Win98 and WindowsNTarecapable.
4.AnUltraATA/66 capable,40-pin,80-conductorcableisrequired.
5.UltraATA/66compatibleIDEdevicesuchasaharddriveorCD-ROMdrive.

MemoryModules(SDRAMDIMMs).Relatively,the peakbandwidthofPC-133memoryis
the 33%higherthan PC-100memory.TheselatestSDRAMsarenecessarytomeetthe
enhanced133MHzbusspeed requirement.
Suspend toRAM
Suspend toRAMisacost-effective,optimalimplementation ofthe Advanced Configura-
tion and PowerInterface(ACPI)1.0specification,whichmakesaPC’s powerconsump-
tion drop tothe lowestpossibleleveland enablesquick wakeup.When the systemisin
Suspend-to-RAMstatus,the systemcontextismaintainedinsystemmemory,the system
consumesonlyasmall fraction ofthe powerused forfull operation.Instead ofshutting
downthe systemtosavepowerwhen notinuseand then having torebootlater,Sus-
pend-to-RAMsolution enablesthe systemtoquicklywakeup,restoring all applications
and features,enabling operation inafewseconds.
Toimplementthisfunction,the following requirmentsareessential:
1.Powersupplyrequirements:The currentof5VSB line ofthe powersupplyshouldbe
morethan 0.75A.
2.Setthe JumperJ13 withpin1&pin2 closed.Refertopage 13 fordetailed information.
3.TheBIOSoption“ACPIfunction”shouldbeenabled,and“ACPISuspendType”should
be setasS3inAWARD BIOSCMOSsetup.Refertopage28 fordetailed information.
4.AnACPI-enabled operatingsystemsuchasWindows98 orWindows2000 familyis
needed.NavigatetotheCD-ROMdrivefromtheMS-DOSCommandPromptandenter
the following fromthe Win98 directoryon the CD:
D:\SETUP/PJ
(ThismanualassumesthatyourCD-ROMdevicedriverletterisD:)
Windows98 will be installed withACPIenabled.
ForWindows98 SE and Windows2000,justinstall themdirectly.
5.Three ways toenterSuspend-to-RAMstatusunderACPI-enabled Windows98:
lClick Start->Shutdown->Standbytoenablethe systemtoenterSuspend-to-
RAMstatus.
lClick Start->Setup ->ControlPanel->PowerManagement->Advanced and
chooseStandbyitem,the systemwill enterSuspend-to-RAMstatuswhen you
press powerbutton.
lFromPowerManagementPropertiesinControlPanel,setthe latency timein
SystemStandby,the systemwill enterSuspend-to-RAMstatuswhen timeout.
The sameways used topowerup the systemcan be used towakeup the systemfrom
Suspend-to-RAMstatus.Forexample,pushingthe powerbutton,through the Wake-on-
LAN,Wake-on-Modemfunction orRTCAlarm.
