19 System Information Example for System Information menu IDE Primary Channel Master/Slave specifies the current configuration of the IDE device connected to the master/slave port of the primary IDE channel. IDE Secondary Channel Master/Slave specifies the current configuration of the IDE device connected to the master/slave port of the secondary IDE channel. Level 1 Cache indicates the total amount of first-level or the internal fast access memory size (i.e., the memory integrated into the CPU size) and whether it is enabled or disabled. Level 2 Cache indicates the total amount of second-level or the internal fast access memory size (i.e., the memory integrated into the CPU size) and whether it is enabled or disabled. A26361-D1350-Z

20 System Information Processor indicates the type of processor currently installed in your system. Processor Speed indicates the speed of the processor currently installed in your system. Total Memory indicates the total amount of onboard memory. The memory size is automatically detected by BIOS during the power-on self-test (POST). If you install additional memory, your system automatically adjusts this parameter to display the new memory size. 1 st Bank Indicates the type of DRAM installed in the onboard DIMM1 socket. 2 nd Bank Indicates the type of DRAM installed in the onboard DIMM2 socket. 3 rd Bank Indicates the type of DRAM installed in the onboard DIMM3 socket. None Indicates that no DRAM is installed in the DIMM socket. 10 A26361-D1350-Z

21 Product Information The following screen appears if you select Product Information from the Setup Utility main menu: Example for Product Information menu The Product Information menu contains general data about your system, such as the product name, system serial number, system board ID, system board serial number and BIOS version. Main Board ID displays the identification number of your system board. Main Board S/N displays the serial number of your system board. Product Name displays the model number of your system. SMBIOS Version Indicates the version of the SM BIOS utility installed in your system. The System Management (SM) BIOS allows you to check your system hardware components without actually opening your computer. Hardware checking is done via software during startup. A26361-D1350-Z

22 Product Information System BIOS Version indicates the version of your Setup Utility. System S/N displays the serial number of your system. 12 A26361-D1350-Z

23 Disk Drives Select Disk Drives from the Setup Utility main menu to configure the drives installed in your system. Example for Disk Drives menu Floppy Drive A/B These two fields are used to specify the type of floppy disk drive installed. 360 KB 5.25-inch, 1.2 MB 5.25-inch, 720 KB 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB 3.5-inch, 2.88 MB 3.5-inch The entry depends on the floppy disk drive installed. (Default entry Floppy Drive A: 1.44 MB 3.5-inch). None No floppy disk drive installed or floppy disk drive is accessed via IDE Drive. IDE Primary/Secondary Channel Master/Slave These four fields allow you to configure the hard disk drive connected to the master/slave port of IDE channel 1/2. This parameter only appears when you are in the Advanced Options level. Call the submenu to make corresponding settings of the IDE hard disk drive. The manufacturer's designation of the IDE drive is given beside each submenu. If your system board has just one connector for IDE drives, you can only enter settings for IDE Primary Master and IDE Primary Slave. A26361-D1350-Z

24 Disk Drives i You should change the default settings only if you are connecting an additional IDE drive to one of the IDE connectors. The maximum transfer rate of two IDE drives connected to the same connector is determined by the slowest one. Fast hard disks should therefore be connected to the first IDE connector and identified as IDE Primary Master or IDE Primary Slave. Slower hard disks or other IDE drives (e.g. CD ROM drives) should be connected to the second IDE connector and identified as IDE Secondary Master or IDE Secondary Slave. In the case of system boards with newer controllers, all four IDE drives are supported independently and configured for the maximum transfer rate. This means that a fast and a slow IDE drive can be connected to one connector without impeding the speed of the fast drive. The following description of the setting options given below for IDE Primary Master also applies for IDE Primary Slave, IDE Secondary Master and IDE Secondary Slave. Advanced PIO Mode The PIO (Programmed Input Output) Mode defines the transfer rate of the IDE hard disk drive. If at all possible use the entry Auto. This means Setup Utility will determine the best possible transfer rate for the hard drive. If transfer rates are set incorrectly, the hard drive will be either too slow (i. e. the hard disk has a higher transfer rate then the one that was set) or the hard drive does not boot correctly, or does not respond (i. e. the hard drive is set to a higher transfer rate then it is capable of). Disabled The transmission speed is not set. Auto Mode 0 Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 Mode 4 Setup Utility automatically detects the best speed for your hard disk. 2 Mbyte/s to 4 Mbyte/s 2 Mbyte/s to 4 Mbyte/s 2 Mbyte/s to 4 Mbyte/s 5 Mbyte/s to 10 Mbyte/s 10 Mbyte/s to 16 Mbyte/s! This parameter appears only when you are in the Advanced Level. 14 A26361-D1350-Z

25 Disk Drives Cylinders, Heads, Sectors, Size These hard disk parameters are set in accordance with the IDE hard disk drive. If you want to change the hard disk parameters manually, set the Device Detection Mode field to User. The Size field (CHS value/lba value) shows the capacity of the hard disk in function of the present computation. The CHS value is the capacity calculated by BIOS for the Cylinders/Heads/Sectors on the basis of the figures supplied by the hard disk. The LBA value is the capacity calculated by BIOS on the basis of the maximum possible sectors reported by the hard disk. Since BIOS designates the maximum permissible values for Cylinders/Heads/Sectors, the CHS value cannot exceed 8.4 Gbyte. LBA addressing avoids these restrictions, so it can handle values larger than 8.4 Gbyte. The CHS value and the LBA value are therefore different on hard disks as of 8.4 Gbyte. For further information on CHS and LBA, see the section on "Hard Disk LBA mode Device Detection Mode This field is used to specify the type of hard disk drive. None You cannot change the hard disk parameters Cylinders, Heads, Sector/Track. An IDE drive has not been installed. Auto If the hard disk supports this mode, the setup menu reads the hard disk parameters from the disk itself. You do not need to select the parameters yourself. User You can enter the hard disk parameters yourself. If you have set the hard disk parameters with Auto, you can only reduce the values. Examples of user-defined entries (IDE drives): Hard disk Hard disk parameter capacity (MB) Cylinders Heads Sectors CD-ROM If an ATAPI CD-ROM drive is installed, this entry enables you to boot from the CD- ROM drive. Floppy disk 120M / ZIP or ATAPI Removable If an ATAPI 120M floppy disk drive or a ZIP drive is installed, this entry enables you to boot from the floppy disk drive or ZIP drive. A26361-D1350-Z

26 Disk Drives DMA Transfer Mode specifies the fast Ultra DMA transfer mode or multi-dma transfer mode for the IDE hard disk drive. Disabled Auto Multi word Mode 0, 1, 2 Ultra Mode 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 The fast Ultra DMA transfer mode is not set. Setup Utility automatically detects the best DMA transfer mode for your hard disk. Hard Disk 32 Bit Access The fast Ultra DMA transfer mode is set. This field specifies the width of data transmission between the processor and the IDE controller. Enabled Disabled The data transfer is 32 bits in width at the PCI bus. This enhances performance. The data transfer is 16 bits in width. Hard Disk Block Mode This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk in use. Auto Disabled Setup Utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode function. If supported, it allows data transfer in blocks (multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. Disregard this feature. Hard Disk LBA Mode Sets the mode responsible for the conversion of physical disk formatting into logical disk formatting. The individual translation modes are compatible with certain earlier BIOS versions. This enhanced IDE feature allows the system to use a hard disk with a capacity of more than 528 MB. This is made possible through Logical Block Address (LBA) mode translation. LBA is now considered a standard feature of current IDE hard disks on the market because of its capability to support capacities larger than 528 MB. Note that if your hard disk is formatted with LBA on, it will not be able to boot with LBA off.! A hard disk can only be operated using the LBA translation mode that was set prior to partitioning. This is because the three LBA translation modes use different algorithms to convert physical disk geometry into logical disk geometry. So remember: Never change the LBA translation mode for a disk that has already been written on. You can only use a hard disk in a different system if the system supports the same LBA translation mode as the one originally set for the hard disk. 16 A26361-D1350-Z

27 Onboard Peripherals The Onboard Peripherals menu allows you to configure the onboard devices. Select this option from the Setup Utility main menu to display the following screen: Example for Onboard Peripherals menu Floppy Disk Controller This field is used to enable and disable the built-in floppy disk controller on the system board. Enabled The floppy disk controller is enabled - IRQ 6 is used. Disabled The floppy disk controller is disabled - IRQ 6 is free. IDE Controller This field allows you to enable and disable the built-in IDE hard disk controller(s).
