Changing any of the BIOS settings, may affect the performance of your system and can also cause your system to hang. SPECIFICATIONS BIOS OVERVIEW AND INSTALLING A NEW BIOS ·When installing a new BIOS into this mainboard, JP1 must be set to the clear CMOS position for a moment. Replace the jumper back to the normal position before flashing the bios. You can also hold down the <END> key and then power on to clear the CMOS. ENTERING THE WINBIOS SETUP ·When the computer is POSTing during bootup (going through a series of diagnostic checks), hit the <DEL> key when prompted to enter the BIOS setup screen. DEFAULT SETTINGS ·There are three default values for the BIOS: Original - The original default values recover the modified settings to the original settings. Optimal - The optimal default values provide the optimum settings for all devices and system features. Best - The best default values provide the best performance settings for all devices and system features but it may cause your system to be unstable. 13 PM-9800 MAINBOARD MANUAL PRIMARY MASTER & SLAVE, SECONDARY MASTER & SLAVE ·Choose these icons to configure the hard disk drive named in the option. When you click on an icon, the following parameters are listed: Type, LBA/Large Mode, Block Mode, 32-bit Mode and PIO Mode. All parameters relate to IDE drives except Type SETTINGS BIOS ADVANCED AND STANDARD FLOPPY DRIVE A, B ·Choose the Floppy Drive A or B icon to specify the floppy drive type. The settings are 360KB 51/4", 1. 2MB 51/4", 720KB 31/2", 1. 44MB 31/2" or 2. 88MB 31/2". 1ST, 2ND, 3RD, 4TH BOOT DEVICE ·Set these options to select the boot sequence from different booting devices. SMART FOR HARD DISKS ·This allows you to enable or disable the SMART function of hard drives. QUICK BOOT ·When this option is set to ENABLED, the BIOS skips many of the POST diagnostic steps so that bootup is faster. PS/2 MOUSE SUPPORT ·When this option is set to ENABLED, the BIOS supports a PS/2 type mouse. PASSWORD CHECK ·This option specifies the type of BIOS password protection that is implemented. The settings are: Setup - The password prompt appears only when an enduser attempts to run BIOS setup. Always - A password prompt appears every time the computer is powered on or rebooted. The enduser sets the password by choosing the password icon on the BIOS setup screen. INTERNAL CACHE ·Set this option to ENABLED to enable the Internal CPU cache. EXTERNAL CACHE ·Set this option to ENABLED to enable the external L2 cache. 14 PM-9800 MAINBOARD MANUAL POWER MANAGEMENT/APM ·Set this option to ENABLED to enable power management and APM features. GREEN PC MONITOR POWER STATES SETTINGS PERIPHERAL & PCI/PnP POWER, ·This option specifies the power state that the green PC compliant video monitor enters when BIOS places it in a power saving state after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. VIDEO POWER DOWN MODE ·This option specifies the power conserving state that the VESA VGA video subsystem enters after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. HARD DISK POWER DOWN MODE ·This option specifies the power conserving state that the hard disk drive enters after the specified period of hard drive inactivity has expired. PLUG AND PLAY AWARE OS ·Set this option to YES if the operating system in this computer is PnP-aware. OFFBOARD PCI IDE CARD ·This option specifies if an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is installed in the computer. You must specify the PCI expansion slot on the motherboard where the offboard PCI IDE controller is installed. You must also specify the IRQs for this PCI IDE card. PCI SLOT 1/2/3/4 IRQ PRIORITY ·These options specify the priority IRQ to be used for any PCI devices installed in PCI expansion slots 1 through 4. IRQ 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 ·These options allow you to reserve IRQs for legacy (non-PnP) ISA adapter cards. ONBOARD FDC ·This option allows you to enabled the floppy drive controller on the motherboard. ONBOARD SERIAL PORT 1 & 2 ·This option specifies the base I/O port address of serial port 1 & 2 ONBOARD PARALLEL PORT, MODE, & IRQ ·This option specifies the base I/O port address, type (Normal, Bi-Dir, EPP or EPP/ECP), and IRQ of the parallel port on the motherboard. ONBOARD IDE ·This option specifies the channel used by the IDE controller on the motherboard. 15 TIPS TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS HELPFUL AND PM-9800 MAINBOARD MANUAL WHAT TO DO FIRST. . . ·The most overlooked and common problems are actually the easiest to solve. [. . . ] You can also try turning off your external cache via your bios and seeing if that is the problem. ·Basically, the best technique for troubleshooting is to change one setting and then rebooting, until you can get it to work. ·Once you're at this step you need to place one of your other cards in, one at a time and reboot after each installation of the card and its specific drivers. Do this until all your cards are in or until your system crashes or freezes again. [. . . ]
