sodangerousthatitmayoverwritetheBIOS.If theBIOShasbeen damaged,the system
willbeunabletoboot. Weprovidebothhardwareand softwaresolution whichprotectsthe

1.Setthejumper(JAV)asclosed,theBIOScannotbeoverwritten.
2.Setthejumper(JAV)asopen,meanwhileset“FlashWriteProtect”asEnabledin
AWARDBIOSCMOSSetup.Inthisway,the BIOScan notbe overwritten,butDMI

Toimplementthisfunction,thefollowingrequirmentsareessential:
1.Powersupplyrequirements:Thecurrentof5VSB line ofthepowersupplyshouldbe
morethan 0.75A.

3.AnACPI-enabledoperating systemsuchasWindows98 orWindows2000 family
isneeded.Inordertoinstall ACPI-enabledWindows98 operating system,the

UltraATA/66

waytosenddatawasinsynchronousstrobe modebyusingthe risingedgeofthe
strobesignal.TheUltraATA/33protocoldoublesthe bursttransferratefrom16.6MB/
sto33.3MB/s,byusingboththerisingand falling edgesofthestrobesignal,this
timeUltraATA/66doublestheUltraATAbursttransferrateonceagain(from33.3MB/
