Watchdog Timer Configuration  
The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user  
programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of  
system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock.  
Under these sort of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the  
selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will  
restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.

BIOS SETUP  
BIOS Introduction  
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer  
system’ s ROM supports Intel®Pentium® 4 processors. The BIOS provides  
critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial  
ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well  
as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the  
entire system.  
BIOS Setup  
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the  
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores  
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is  
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to  
enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,  
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus  
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,  
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously  
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by  
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will  
appear on the screen:  
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup  
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,  
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and  
<Esc> to quit.  
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the  
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions  
and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control  
keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the  
control keys section, there is another section, which displays information  
on the currently highlighted item in the list.  
If the system cannot boot after making and saving system  
changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to  
the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.  
Note:  
It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any  
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been  
carefully chosen by both Award and your system  
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum  
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could  
cause the system to become unstable and crash in some  
cases.

BIOS SETUP  
Standard CMOS Setup  
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic  
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system  
clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a  
working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to  
run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system  
hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration  
stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

This item allows you to set the priority for hard disk boot. When you press enter,  
the selections shows the current hard disks used in your system as well as the  
Bootable Add-in Cardthat is relevant to other boot sources media such as  
SCSI cards and LAN cards.  
CPU L1 and L2 Cache  
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM  
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory,  
and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory.  
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the  
main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items  
allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By  
default, these items are Enabled.  
Hyper-Threading Technology  
This feature is enabled when your processor supports Hyper-Threading  
Technology. Otherwise, this field will be hidden.  
Quick Power On Self Test  
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after  
the system is turned on. If it is set toEnabled, BIOS will skip some items.

operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS120, Hard  
Disk, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-CDROM and Disable.  
Boot Other Device  
These fields allow the system to search for an operating system from  
other devices other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot  
Device.  
Swap Floppy Drive  
This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy  
Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that  
Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By default, this  
field is set to Disabled.  
Boot Up Floppy Seek  
This feature controls whether the BIOS checks for a floppy drive while  
booting up. If it cannot detect one (either due to improper configuration  
or its absence), it will flash an error message.  
Boot Up NumLock Status  
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the  
system.  
Gate A20 Option  
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a  
device used to address memory above 1 MB.  
Typematic Rate Setting  
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will  
generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic  
controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled.  
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)  
When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated  
keystrokes speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30 characters per second.  
Typematic Delay (Msec)  
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time  
interval for displaying the first and second characters. By default, this  
item is set to 250msec.

BIOS SETUP  
Security Option  
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default  
value is Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User  
Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system  
always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the  
Setup utility is called up.  
APIC Mode  
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The  
default setting is Enabled.  
MPS Version Control for OS  
This option is specifies the MPS (Multiprocessor Specification) version  
for your operating system. MPS version 1.4 added extended  
configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus  
configurations and improve future expandability. The default setting is  
1.4.  
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB  
This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM  
memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to  
access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2.  
Report No FDD For WIN 95  
If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select  
Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT  
test. You should also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the  
Integrated Peripherals screen when there's no floppy drive in the system. If  
you set this feature to Disabled, the BIOS will not report the missing  
floppy drive to Win95/98.  
Small Logo (EPA) Show  
The EPA logo appears at the right side of the monitor screen when the  
system is boot up. The default setting is Enabled.

CAS Latency Time  
You can configure CAS latency time in HCLKs as 2 or 2.5 or 3. The  
system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the  
DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change  
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.  
Active to Precharge Delay  
The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is 7.  
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay  
This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address  
Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs  
when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the  
delay improves the performance of the SDRAM.  
DRAM RAS# Precharge  
This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate  
its charge before the SDRAM refreshes. The default setting for the Active  
to Precharge Delay is 3.

Memory Frequency For  
This field sets the frequency of the DRAM memory installed. The default  
setting is Auto. The other settings are DDR266, DDR333, DDR320 and  
DDR400.  
System BIOS Cacheable  
The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at  
F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any  
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.  
Video BIOS Cacheable  
The Setting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at  
C0000h-F7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any  
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.  
Memory Hole At 15M-16M  
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved  
for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space  
below 16 MB. The choices are Enabled and Disabled.  
Delay Prior to Thermal  
This field activates the CPU thermal function after the systems boots for  
the set number of minutes. The options are 16Min and 64Min.  
AGP Aperture Size  
The field sets aperture size of the graphics. The aperture is a portion of the  
PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space.  
Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without  
any translation. The default setting is 128M.  
Init Display First  
This field allows the system to initialize first the VGA on chip or the  
display card on the PCI Slot.  
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 correct them. This provides increased data  
integrity and system stability. However, this feature can only be enabled if  
you are using special ECC memory modules.

communicate with the controller and CPU directly.  
The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which  
primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the  
best available mode.  
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA  
These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to  
33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and
