Section 3 System Setup
This section provides the information for the system setup procedure and also briefs
the setup procedures for system BIOS.
3-1 SYSTEM SETUP
The system BIOS supports an internal ROM-based system setup utility. When the
first time you power up the system, the system CMOS memory contains incorrect
configuration information and the BIOS prompts you to get into the SETUP utility.
The system requires correct configuration information stored in the CMOS memory.
The SETUP utility will guide you to properly configure the system in a simple and
straightforward way. A typical setup procedure is as follows:
1. Properly install the system.
A basic system should include at least
- the SQ599 motherboard with CPU and cooler installed
- a standard AT case with power supply
- an AT compatible keyboard
- the floppy driver and hard disk
- the monitor
- minimum one SIMM module with total 8MB memory
2. Turn the system power on.
3. The system BIOS will run Power-On-Self-Test(POST). When the test is
completed, the system prompts you to go through the system SETUP utility. You can
ignore the prompt if system setup has been configured correctly.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the SETUP utility to
- Set Date and Time
- Select correct floppy disk type and number
- Select correct hard disk type and number
- Set the advanced features if necessary
5. Exit the SETUP utility when done
6. System starts to reboot.

SQ599
7. The system should have correct configuration information by now and should have
no problem booting up the operating system from floppy or hard disk. If not, check
the peripheral types, memory size and connections and go through the SETUP utility
again.
3-2 PCI Device Setup
PCI device setup allows user to allocate IRQs and specify IRQ's sensitivity for PCI
and ISA devices. Follow the on-screen setup instructions and refer to the manual
provided with the PCI device for proper installation.

Optional shadow is disabled
Note: 1. For C8000-DFFFF option-ROM on PCI BIOS, BIOS will automatically
Enable the shadow RAM. User does not have to select the item.
2. IDE second channel control:
Enable: enable secondary IDE port and BIOS will assign IRQ15 for this port
Disable: Disable secondary IDE port and IRQ15 is available for other device
The item is optional only for PCI BIOS.
3. Some of the sound cards have an onboard CD-ROM controller that uses
IDE Secondary Port. In order to avoid PCI IDE conflict, the IDE secondary
channel control has to select “disable” then CD-ROM can work.

Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. The one code indicates that a video
error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any
additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by three
short beeps. The other one code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep
code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.
Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error
during the POST. This list indicates the error messages for all Award BIOSes:

1024x768 ===> 800x600 ===> 640x480 .
(2) The resolution change sequence for zoom-out is
640x480 ===> 800x600 ===> 1024x768 .
(3) But you must first be able to zoom-in before you may zoom-out,
that means you can not get a resolution larger than that you setup.
To use this feature, please follow the following procedures.
1. In "SiS VGA Driver" program group, choose "Define Key" icon to enter "hot
