2.1 Before You Begin
Chapter 2: Setting Up
2.1
Before You Begin
This chapter explains how to install the CPU, CPU heatsink,
memory modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting a
PCI card are also given.
Take note of the precautions mentioned in this section when
installing your system.
2.1.1 Work Area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment.
Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunc-
tions. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Putting all small components in separate containers prevents
them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.
2.1.2 Tools
The following procedures require only a few tools, including
the following:
•
•
A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
A grounding strap or an anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be dis-
connected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do
not use needle-nosed pliers to remove connectors as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

2.1 Before You Begin
2.1.3 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to the
Transport GX21 or injury to yourself.
•
Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from the
power supply and then touch a safely grounded
object to release static charge (i.e. power supply
case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap. Alter-
natively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare
metal body of any other grounded appliance.
•
•
Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips,
connectors, memory modules, and leads.
The motherboard is pre-installed in the system.
When removing the motherboard, always place it on
a grounded anti-static surface until you are ready to
reinstall it.
•
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do
not touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
•
•
Leave all components inside the static-proof packag-
ing that they ship with until they are ready for installa-
tion.
After replacing optional devices, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
Notes:
•
•
All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.
Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the
procedures.

2. Screw the sliding rail mounting brackets to the sliding
rails as shown, using the short black screws from the
supplied nuts, screws and washers kit. Ensure that the
brackets with the cut away section (to accommodate the
handles on the front of the unit) are fixed to the front end
of the rail.
Note: Do not tighten the brackets to the
rails as you will need to adjust their position
later.
3. Fully extend the sliding rails until they lock.
4. Screw each sliding rail to the side of the Transport GX21
as shown. You will need 3 short, silver colored screws
from the supplied nuts, screws and washers kit, for each
rail.
5. Return the sliding rails to their shortest position.

Components
3.1
Introduction
This chapter explains how to replace pre installed compo-
nents including the motherboard, LED control board, FDD
and CD-ROM drive. There is also a section showing how to
replace a FFD with a HDD.
Take note of the precautions in this section when installing
your system.
3.1.1 Work Area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment.
Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunc-
tions. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Putting all small components in separate containers keeps
them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.
3.1.2 Tools
The procedures that follow require only a few tools, including
the following:
•
•
A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
A grounding strap or an anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be dis-
connected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do
not use needle-nosed pliers to remove connectors as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

3.1 Introduction
3.1.3 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by static electricity. Working on a system that is connected to
a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the
guidelines below to avoid damage to the Transport GX21 or
injury to yourself.
•
Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from your
computer power supply and then touch a safely
grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power
supply case). If available, wear a grounded wrist
strap. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or
the bare metal body of any other grounded appli-
ance.
•
•
Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips,
connectors, memory modules, and leads.
The motherboard is pre-installed in the system.
When removing the motherboard, always place it on
a grounded anti-static surface until you are ready to
reinstall it.
•
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do
not touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
•
•
Leave all components inside the static-proof packag-
ing that they ship with until they are ready for installa-
tion.
After replacing optional devices, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
Notes:
•
•
All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.
Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the
procedures.

Appendix
BIOS Setup
Installation
The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on
the motherboard that enables your hardware to interface with
your software. The BIOS determines what a computer can do
without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains
all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen,
disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscella-
neous functions. This chapter describes the various BIOS
settings that can be used to configure your system.
The BIOS section of this manual is subject to change without
notice and is provided for reference purposes only. The set-
tings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the time of
print and are subject to change, and therefore may not match
exactly what is displayed on screen.
This section describes the BIOS setup program. The setup
program lets you modify basic configuration settings. The set-
tings are then stored in a dedicated, battery-backed memory
(called NVRAM) that retains the information even when the
power is turned off.
This motherboard’s BIOS is a customized version of the
industry-standard BIOS for IBM PC AT-compatible personal
computers. The BIOS provides critical, low-level support for
the system’s central processing unit (CPU), memory, and I/O
subsystems.
This BIOS has been customized by adding important features
such as virus and password protection, power management,
and chipset “tuning” features that control the system. This
section will guide you through the process of configuring the
BIOS for your system setup.
53
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the
computer. The BIOS reads system configuration in CMOS
RAM and begins the process of checking the system and
configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
When the preliminary tests are complete, the BIOS searches
for an operating system on one of the system’s data storage
devices (hard drive, CD-ROM, etc). If an operating system is
found, the BIOS will launch that operating system and hand
over control to it. You can enter the BIOS setup by pressing
the [Delete] key when the machine boots up and begins to
show the memory count.

The table below shows how to navigate the setup program
using the keyboard.

In Case of Problems
If you have trouble booting your computer after making and
saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can
restart the computer by holding the power button down until
the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting
by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS.
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly
understand. In particular, do not change settings in the
Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of what you
are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen
either by TYAN or your system manufacturer for best perfor-
mance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the
Chipset setup options may cause the system to become
unstable or unusable.
Differences in Setup
Not all systems will have the same BIOS setup layout or
options. While the basic look and function of the BIOS setup
remains more or less the same for most systems, the appear-
ance of your Setup screen may differ from the charts shown
in this document. Each system design and chipset combina-
tion requires a custom configuration. In addition, the final
appearance of the Setup program depends on the system
designer. Your system designer may decide that certain items
should not be available for user configuration, and may
remove them from the BIOS setup program.
Note: On the following pages, options writ-
ten in bold type represent the BIOS Setup
default.

external cache, is placed between the CPU and the DRAM
(dynamic RAM). A memory cache, sometimes called a cache
store or RAM cache, is a portion of memory made of high-
speed static RAM (SRAM) instead of the slower and cheaper
dynamic RAM (DRAM) used for main memory. These caches

store frequently accessed instructions and data. Memory
caching is effective because most programs access the same
data or instructions over and over. By keeping as much of this
information as possible in SRAM, the computer avoids
accessing the slower DRAM. The choices are:
Enabled / Disabled
Hyper-Threading Technology
This option allows you to enable or disable Hyper-Threading
Technology. Hyper-Threading Technology is a form of simul-
taneous multi-threading technology (SMT) where multiple
threads of software applications can be run simultaneously
on one processor. This is achieved by duplicating the archi-
tectural state on each processor, while sharing one set of pro-
cessor execution resources. Hyper-Threading Technology
also delivers faster response times for multi-tasking workload
environments. By allowing the processor to use on-die
resources that would otherwise have been idle, Hyper-
Threading Technology provides a performance boost on
multi-threading and multi-tasking operations. The choices
are:
Enabled / Disabled
Note: Hyper-Threading Technology is
applicable only for Intel processors. It does
not apply to any other processor including
AMD.
Quick Power On Self Test
This option allows the system to skip self tests (POST) for
faster startup. The choices are:

Gate A20 Option
This feature determines how Gate A20 is used to address
memory above 1MB. When this option is set to Fast, the
motherboard chipset controls the operation of Gate A20. But
when set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls
Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves memory
access speed and thus, overall system speed, especially with
OS/2 and Windows.
62

This is because OS/2 and Windows enter and leave pro-
tected mode via the BIOS, so Gate A20 needs to switch often
from enabled to disabled and back again. Setting this feature
to Fast improves memory access performance above 1MB
because the chipset is much faster at switching Gate A20
than the keyboard controller. It is recommended that you set
it to Fast for faster memory accesses. The choices are:
Normal / Fast
Typematic Rate Setting
This feature enables you to control the keystroke repeat rate
when you depress a key continuously. When enabled, you
can manually adjust the settings using the two typematic con-
trols (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay). If disabled, the
BIOS will use the default setting. The choices are:

APIC Mode
This option allows you to enable or disable Advanced Pro-
grammable Interrupt Controller (APIC) Mode. APIC mode
provides multi-processor interrupt management and incorpo-
rates both static and dynamic symmetric interrupt distribution
across all processors. In systems with multiple I/O sub-
systems, each subsystem can have its own set of interrupts.
Each interrupt pin is individually programmable as either
edge or level triggered. The interrupt vector and interrupt
steering information can be specified per interrupt. An indirect
register accessing scheme optimizes the memory space
needed to access the I/O APIC's internal registers. To
increase system flexibility when assigning memory space
usage, the I/O APIC's two-register memory space is re-locat-
able. The choices are:
Enabled / Disabled
Note: Once the operating system is
installed, such as Windows XP, this setting
cannot be changed without reinstalling the
operating system, regardless of whether the
initial setting is Disabled or Enabled.
MPS Version Control For OS
This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor mother-
boards as it specifies the version of the Multi-Processor
Specification (MPS) that the motherboard will use. The MPS
is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and
build Intel architecture systems with two or more processors.
MPS 1.1 was the original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds
extended configuration tables for improved support of multi-
ple PCI bus configurations and greater expandability in the
future. In addition, MPS 1.4 introduces support for a second-
ary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge.
Select the APIC mode depending on the operating system
installed: select 1.1 for Win NT 3.52, and 1.4 for Win NT4.0,
Win2000 and WinXP etc. The choices are:
1.4 / 1.1
Note: This option cannot be changed if the
APIC Mode is set to Disabled.

HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability
This BIOS feature controls support for the hard disk's
S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technol-
ogy) capability.
S.M.A.R.T. is supported by all current hard disks and it allows
the early prediction and warning of impending hard disk
disasters. You should enable it if you want to use S.M.A.R.T.-
aware utilities to monitor the hard disk's condition. Enabling it
also allows the monitoring of the hard disk's condition over a
network.
While S.M.A.R.T. looks like a really great safety feature, it
isn't really that useful or even necessary for most users. For
S.M.A.R.T. to work, it is not just a matter of enabling it in the
BIOS. You must also keep a S.M.A.R.T.-aware hardware
monitoring utility running in the background all the time.
This is okay if the hard disk you are using has a spotty repu-
tation and you need advanced warning of any impending fail-
ure. However, hard disks these days are mostly reliable
enough to make S.M.A.R.T. redundant. Unless you are run-
ning mission-critical applications, it is very unlikely that
S.M.A.R.T. will be of any use at all.
S.M.A.R.T. is still useful in providing some protection against
data loss by continuously monitoring hard disks for signs of

Delay Prior to Thermal
This BIOS feature is only valid for systems that are powered
by 0.13µ Intel Pentium 4 processors with 512KB L2 cache.
These processors come with a Thermal Monitor which con-
sists of an on-die thermal sensor and a Thermal Control Cir-
cuit (TCC).
When the Thermal Monitor is in automatic mode and the ther-
mal sensor detects that the processor has reached its maxi-
mum safe operating temperature, it will activate the TCC. The
TCC will then modulate the clock cycles by inserting null
cycles, typically at a rate of 50-70% of the total number of
clock cycles. This results in the processor "resting" for 50-
70% of the time.
As the die temperature drops, the TCC will gradually reduce
the number of null cycles until no more is required to keep the
die temperature below the safe point. Then the thermal sen-
sor turns the TCC off. This mechanism allows the processor
to dynamically adjust its duty cycles to ensure its die temper-
ature remains within safe limits.
The Delay Prior To Thermal BIOS feature controls the activa-
tion of the Thermal Monitor's automatic mode. It allows you to
determine when the Pentium 4's Thermal Monitor should be
activated in automatic mode after the system boots. For
example, with the default value of 16 Minutes, the BIOS acti-
vates the Thermal Monitor in automatic mode 16 minutes
after the system starts booting up.
Generally, the Thermal Monitor should not be activated
immediately on booting as the processor will be under a
heavy load during the booting process. This causes a sharp
rise in die temperature from its cold state. Because it takes
time for the thermal output to radiate from the die to the heat
sink, the thermal sensor will register the sudden spike in die
temperature and prematurely activate the TCC. This unnec-
essarily reduces the processor's performance during the
booting up process.
Therefore, to ensure optimal booting performance, the activa-
tion of the Thermal Monitor must be delayed for a set period
of time.
It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to the low-
est value (in minutes) that exceeds the time it takes to fully
69

boot up your computer. For example, if it takes 5 minutes to
fully boot up your system, you should select 8 Minutes.
You should not select a delay value that is unnecessarily
long. Without the Thermal Monitor, your processor may heat
up to a critical temperature (approximately 135°C), at which
point the thermal sensor shuts down your processor by
removing the core voltage within 0.5 seconds. The possible
values are:
4 min/ 8 min / 16 min / 32 min
DRAM Data Integrity Mode
This BIOS feature controls the ECC feature of the memory
controller.
ECC, which stands for Error Checking and Correction,
enables the memory controller to detect and correct single-bit
soft memory errors. The memory controller will also be able
to detect double-bit errors although it will not be able to cor-
rect them. This provides increased data integrity and system
stability. However, this feature can only be enabled if you are
using special ECC memory modules.
Because present day processors use 64-bit wide data paths,
72-bit (64-bit data + 8-bit ECC) ECC memory modules are
required to implement ECC. Please note that the maximum
data transfer rate of the 72-bit ECC memory module is the
same as the 64-bit memory module. The extra 8-bits are only
for the ECC code and do not carry any data. So, using 72-bit
memory modules will not give you any boost in performance.
In fact, because the memory controller has to calculate the
ECC code for every data word that is read or written, there
will be some performance degradation, roughly in the region
of 3-5%.
If you are using standard 64-bit memory modules, you must
select the Non-ECC option.
But if you have the 72-bit ECC memory modules, you should
enable the ECC feature for greater stability and data integrity.
The choices are:
ECC / Non-ECC

IDE HDD Block Mode
The IDE HDD Block Mode feature speeds up hard disk
access by transferring data from multiple sectors at once
instead of using the old single sector transfer mode. When
you enable it, the BIOS will automatically detect if your hard
disk supports block transfers and configure the proper block
transfer settings for it. Up to 64KB of data can be transferred
per interrupt with IDE HDD Block Mode enabled.
If you disable IDE HDD Block Mode, only 512 bytes of data
can transferred per interrupt. This degrades performance
quite a bit. For optimal performance, enable this option. The
choices are:
Enabled / Disabled
Note: Microsoft recommends that WinNT
4.0 users without Service Pack 2 disable IDE
HDD Block Mode as it causes data corrup-
tion.
On-Chip Primary PCI IDE
IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate
hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship
which is determined by the cabling configuration used to
attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE
controllers-- a primary and a secondary-- so, up to four sepa-
rate hard disks can be installed.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the
BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or
from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller
what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform
the complete task by themselves. This is simpler and more
efficient (and faster).
Your system includes two built-in IDE controllers, both of
which operate on the PCI bus. This setup item allows you
either to enable or disable the primary controller. You might
choose to disable the controller if you were to add a higher
performance or specialized controller. The choices are:
Enabled / Disabled
72

Primary / Secondary Master/ Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you
set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the
onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide
successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the sys-
tem automatically determines the best mode for each device.
The choices are:
Auto / Mode 0 / Mode 1 / Mode 2 / Mode 3 /
Mode 4
Primary / Secondary Master/ Slave UDMA
This option allows you to select the mode of operation for the
Ultra DMA/33 implementation. This is possible only if your
IDE hard drive supports UDMA and the operating environ-
ment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-
party IDE bus master driver). UDMA (Ultra DMA) is advanced
technology that provides for even faster throughput, up to
33.3 MB/s in UDMA mode 2 and 66.7 MB/s in UDMA mode 4,
twice to four times that of EIDE, for much lower prices than
SCSI. Many new computers come with large UDMA drives
and UDMA interfaces, and it's possible to add a UDMA inter-
face card (such as the Promise Ultra33 or Ultra66) to an
existing system to boost speed, even on older non-UDMA
drives. If your hard drive and your system software both sup-
port Ultra DMA/33, select Auto to enable BIOS support. The
choices are:
Auto / Disabled
On-Chip Serial ATA
The integrated peripheral controller contains a S-ATA inter-
face with support for two S-ATA channels. Serial ATA is a
point-to-point connection and allows multiple ports to be
aggregated to a single controller typically located either on
the motherboard or an add-in RAID card. Through back-
planes and external enclosures, Serial ATA can be deployed
in high-capacity server and networked-storage environments.
Serial ATA technology can deliver 1.5 Gbps (150 MB/sec) to
each drive within a disk drive array. Select “Enabled” to acti-
vate each channel separately. The choices are:

RxD, TxD Active
This BIOS feature allows you to set the infra-red reception

second serial port. If you disable the second serial port, this
feature will not be available.
There are four options available, based on combinations of Hi
and Lo. You will need to consult your IR peripheral's docu-

Onboard Parallel Port
To use the parallel port on the system, select an address and
corresponding interrupt for the parallel port. The possible val-
ues are:
378/IRQ7 / 278/IRQ5 / 3BC/IRQ7 / Disabled
Parallel Port Mode
This option allows the user to select the parallel port mode.
This is linked to the parallel port so if you disable the parallel
port, this feature will not appear or will appear greyed out.
There are four options. The default value is Normal (SPP)
which will work with all parallel port devices. However, it is the
slowest transfer mode and should only be used when faster
transfer modes cannot be used.
There are two faster bidirectional modes available - the ECP
(Extended Capabilities Port) and EPP (Enhanced Parallel
Port) modes. ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve data
transfer rates of up to 2.5Mbits/s and provides symmetric
bidirectional communication. On the other hand, EPP uses
existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric bidirec-
tional communication.
Generally, because of its FIFOs and the DMA channel it
uses, ECP is good for large data transfers (useful for scan-
ners and printers). On the other hand, EPP is better with links
that switch directions frequently (like parallel port drives).
However, the manufacturer of your parallel port peripheral
may have designated a preferred parallel port mode for the
device in question. In that case, it's best to follow their recom-
mendation.
For those who don't know what mode to select but at least
know that their parallel port device supports bidirectional
transfers, the BIOS offers the ECP+EPP mode. If you select
this mode, then the parallel port device will be able to use
either one of those modes. However, this should be consid-
ered as a last resort as you may be needlessly tying up an
IRQ for nothing if your device does not use ECP at all. Or, the
BIOS may not select the best parallel port mode for the
device. If possible, set the parallel port to the transfer mode
that best suits your parallel port device. The choices are:
SPP / EPP / ECP / ECP+EPP

EPP Mode Select
There are two versions of the EPP transfer protocol - EPP 1.7
and EPP 1.9. This BIOS feature allows you to select the ver-
sion of EPP that the parallel port should use.
Generally, EPP 1.9 is the preferred setting because it sup-
ports the newer EPP 1.9 devices and most EPP 1.7 devices;
and offers advantages like support for longer cables. How-
ever, because certain EPP 1.7 devices cannot work properly
with an EPP 1.9 port, this BIOS feature was implemented to
allow you to set the EPP mode to EPP 1.7 when such an
issue ocurrs.
Therefore, it is recommended that you set this BIOS feature
to EPP 1.9. But if you have trouble connecting to your parallel
port device, switch to EPP 1.7. The choices are:
EPP1.9 / EPP1.7
ECP Mode Use DMA
This BIOS feature determines which DMA channel the paral-
lel port should use when it is in ECP mode.
The ECP mode uses the DMA protocol to achieve data trans-
fer rates of up to 2.5 Mbits/s and provides symmetric bidirec-
tional communications. For all this, it requires the use of a
DMA channel.
By default, the parallel port uses DMA Channel 3 when it is in
ECP mode. This works fine in most situations.
This feature is provided just in case one of your add-on cards
requires the use of DMA Channel 3. In such a case, you can
use this BIOS feature to force the parallel port to use the
alternate DMA Channel 1.
Please note that there is no performance advantage in
choosing DMA Channel 3 over DMA Channel 1 or vice versa.
As long as either Channel 3 or Channel 1 is available for your
parallel port to use, the parallel port will be able to function
properly in ECP mode. The choices are:
DMA1 / DMA3

ACPI Function
If your system supports ACPI, then enable this ACPI function.
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) estab-
lishes industry-standard interfaces for OS-directed configura-
tion and power management on laptops, desktops, and
servers.
ACPI allows the Operating System (instead of the BIOS) to
control Power Management (OSPM). The ACPI Standard
defines hardware registers (which are implemented in chipset
silicon), BIOS interfaces, which include configuration tables,
control methods, and motherboard device enumeration and
configuration; system and device power states, and the APCI
thermal model.
All devices in the system can communicate with each other
about resource use. The operating system has the most
knowledge on a running system's state, and so is in the best
position to perform power management. The choices are:
Enabled / Disabled

Video Off Method
This option defines the method used to power off video. The
various methods are:
• Blank Screen: The system BIOS will only send a
blank screen when disabling video.
• V/H SYNC + Blank: In addition to Blank screen, the
BIOS will also turn off the V-SYNC & H-SYNC signals
from VGA cards to monitor.
• DPMS: Select this option if your monitor supports the
Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) stan-
dard of the Video Electronics Standards Association
(VESA). Use the software supplied for your video sub-
system to select video power management values.
The choices are:
V/H SYNC+Blank / Blank / DPMS
81
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Note: Green monitors detect the V/H
SYNC signals to turn off their electron guns.
It is important to realize that the CRT con-
sumes the most power (several hundred
watts) of any system. To really save energy,
you must shut it down when not in use.
Green monitors (also known as Energy Star
monitors) reduce power usage by 90% with-
out actually turing off the CRT. To make a
green monitor function properly you MUST
use Video Off Method = V/H Sync, because
this tells the Green Monitor to shut down. If
you incorrectly use the "Blank Screen" set-
ting then you will just get a blank screen
which still consumes 100% power. If you
have a screensaver running, then you will
not have CPU inactivity, and the standard
BIOS options will not shut the CRT down
ever. So, turn OFF your screensaver in the
WINDOWS control panel, not in the BIOS.
Video Off In Suspend
This option defines the time frame in which the video will be
disabled under current power management settings. The set-
tings are:
• Always On: System BIOS will never turn off the
screen.
• Suspend => Off: System BIOS turns of the screen
when system is in SUSPEND mode.
The choices are:
Always On / Suspend -> Off
82

Suspend Type
This option defines the system suspend type. The two sus-
pend types are:
• Power on Suspend: If this is selected, the CPU will
enter into Doze mode.
• Stop Grant: If this is selected, the CPU clock will enter
into Sleep mode.
In both of these modes, the system activities are detected by
monitoring the IRQ signals or I/O. The choices are:
Stop Grant/ Power On Suspend
MODEM Use IRQ
This setting allows you to select the interrupt request (IRQ)
line assigned to the modem (if any) on your system. Activity
of the selected IRQ always awakens the system. The possi-
ble values are:
N/A / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 10 / 11
Suspend Mode
This option defines the method used to power off the system.
The two methods are:
• Standby Mode: This mode is an intermediate level of
system inactivity shutdown. In this mode, the proces-
sor slows down to an even lower activity level than
doze mode, and the video and hard disk drives are
powered down.
• Sleep Mode: This mode is the deepest level of system
inactivity shutdown. In this mode all system devices
are shutdown (except for any that the BIOS is specifi-
cally told to keep running) and the processor is shut
down to a trickle mode.
The choices are:
Disabled / Standby / Sleep
83

HDD Power Down
Also known as Hard Disk Timeout or IDE Standby Power
Down Mode, this setting allows automatic power down of IDE
drives after a specified period of inactivity 10 minutes is a
suggested minimum, to avoid undue wear and tear on the
drive. The choices are:
Disabled / 1 minutes / 5 minutes / 10 minutes /
30 minutes / 45 minutes / 60 minutes
CPU THRM-Throttling
This BIOS feature determines the clock speed of the proces-
sor when it is in the Suspend To RAM (STR) power saving
mode. It has no effect when the processor is in normal active
mode.
Available options for this BIOS feature are preset values of
the processor's power consumption. They range from 12.5%
to 87.5%. Please note that these options reflect the desired
power consumption of the processor, not its clock speed. The
clock speed of the processor will be determined based on the
option chosen.
The default setting is usually 62.5%. This means the proces-
sor will be running at a clock speed that allows it to use
37.5% less power.
The choice of what you should set the processor to run at is
really up to you. The lower the value, the more power you will
save when the processor is in Suspend To RAM mode. Gen-
erally, it would be nice to minimize power consumption while
in Suspend To RAM mode. The only potential drawback
might be a slightly longer time required to bring the processor
back to speed.
It is common for this BIOS feature to be mistaken as a BIOS
control for the Pentium 4's Thermal Monitor feature. How-
ever, the clock throttling provided by this BIOS feature is
completely different from the Pentium 4's Thermal Monitor
feature. The possible values are:
87.5% / 75.0% / 62.5%/ 50.0%/ 25.3%/ 12.5%

Reset Configuration Data
If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your com-
puter's hardware configuration, the BIOS will automatically
detect the changes and reconfigure the ESCD (Extended
System Configuration Data). Therefore, there is usually no
need to manually force the BIOS to reconfigure the ESCD.
However, the occasion may arise where the BIOS may not be
able to detect the hardware changes. A serious resource
conflict may occur and the operating system may not even
boot as a result. This is where the Reset Configuration Data
BIOS feature comes in.
This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to
clear the previously saved ESCD data and reconfigure the
settings. All you need to do is enable this BIOS feature and
then reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolve
the conflict and allow the operating system to load normally.

Please note that the BIOS will automatically reset it to the
default setting of Disabled after reconfiguring the new ESCD.
So, there is no need for you to manually disable this feature
after rebooting. The choices are:
Enabled / Disabled
Resources Controlled By
When this option is set to AUTO, the BIOS by using ESCD,
controls the IRQ and DMA assignments of all of the boot and
PNP devices in the system. If you set this option to Manual,
you will be able to manually assign all IRQ and DMA informa-
tion.The choices are:
Manual / Auto (ESCD)
PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
This option is only useful if you use an MPEG card or an add-
on card that makes use of the graphics card's Feature Con-
nector. When enabled, it corrects incorrect color reproduction
by "snooping" into the graphics card's framebuffer memory
and modifying (synchronizing) the information delivered from
the graphics card's Feature Connector to the MPEG or add-
on card. It will also solve the problem of display inversion to a
black screen after using the MPEG card. The choices are:

Auto Detect DIMM / PCI Clk
This BIOS feature determines whether the BIOS should
actively reduce EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and
reduce power consumption by turning off unoccupied or inac-
tive expansion slots.
When enabled, the BIOS will monitor AGP, PCI and memory
slots and turn off clock signals to all unoccupied and inactive
slots.
When disabled, the BIOS will not monitor AGP, PCI and
memory slots. All clock signals will remain active even to
unoccupied or inactive slots.
It is recommended that you enable this feature to save power
and reduce EMI.
The choices are:
Enabled / Disabled
Spread Spectrum
This BIOS feature allows you to reduce the EMI of your moth-
erboard by modulating the signals it generates so that the
spikes are reduced to flatter curves. It achieves this by vary-
ing the frequency slightly so that the signal does not use any
particular frequency for more than a moment.
In most conditions, frequency modulation via this feature
should not cause any problems. However, system stability
may be slightly compromised in certain situations. For exam-
ple, this BIOS feature may cause improper functioning of tim-
ing-critical devices like clock-sensitive SCSI devices.
Spread Spectrum can also cause problems with overclocked
systems, especially those that have been taken to extremes.
Even a slight modulation of frequency may cause the proces-
sor or any other overclocked components of the system to
fail, leading to very predictable consequences.
Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this feature if
you are overclocking your system. The risk of crashing your
system is not worth the reduction in EMI. Of course, if EMI
reduction is important to you, enable this feature by all means

You can set either a supervisor or a user password, or both of
them. The differences are:
Set Supervisor Password: You can enter and change the
options in the BIOS setup menus.
Set User Password: You can enter and view the options in
the BIOS setup menus but cannot change them.
When you select this function, the following message will
appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and
press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previ-
ously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be
asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and
press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selec-
tion and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are
prompted to enter the password. A message will be displayed
confirming that the password is disabled. Once the password
is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter setup
freely.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to
enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an
unauthorized person from changing your system configura-
tion.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also
require the BIOS to request a password every time your sys-
tem is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your
computer.
You determine when the password is required within the
BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option If the
Security option is set to “System”, the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in
CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you
turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer,
the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup
selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the sys-
tem is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
This option exits BIOS setup without saving any changes.
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing any changes in
CMOS. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits
the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

Returning Merchandise for Service
If any problems occur during the product’s warranty period,
consult your system vendor or distributor before contacting
TYAN. The warranty covers normal customer use of the prod-
uct. The warranty does not cover damages sustained during
shipping or failure due to alteration, misuse, abuse, or
improper maintenance of the unit.
Note: A receipt or copy of your invoice,
marked with the date of purchase is required
before any warranty service can be provided.
You may obtain service by calling the manu-
facturer for a Return Merchandise Authoriza-
tion (RMA) number. The RMA number
should be displayed prominently on the out-
side of the shipping carton, and the package
should be mailed prepaid. TYAN will pay to
have the product shipped back to you.
