[. . . ] 1st Bank/2nd Bank/3rd Bank/4th Bank The 1st Bank, 2nd Bank, 3rd Bank, and 4th Bank parameters indicate the type and size of DRAM installed in DIMM sockets 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The "None" setting indicates that there is no DRAM installed. 1st/2nd/3rd /4th Bank Type and Size of DRAM installed in DIMM socket 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The "None" setting indicates that there is no DRAM installed. 49 DXPN-U Serial Port 1 This parameter shows the serial port 1 address and IRQ setting. Online Manual Serial Port 2 This parameter shows the serial port 2 address and IRQ setting. Parallel Port This parameter shows the parallel port address and IRQ setting. PS/2 Mouse The BIOS utility automatically detects if there is a pointing device connected to your system. If there is, this parameter displays the "Installed" setting. Otherwise, this is set to "None". 50 DXPN-U Online Manual Product Information The Product Information contains the general data about the system, such as the product name, serial number, BIOS version, etc. This information is necessary for troubleshooting (may be required when asking for technical support). The following shows how the Product Information screen appears: 51 DXPN-U Product Name This parameter specifies the official name of the system. Online Manual System S/N This parameter specifies the system's serial number. Main Board ID This parameter specifies the motherboard's identification number. System BIOS Version This parameter specifies the version of the BIOS utility. SMBIOS Version This parameter specifies the version of the SMBIOS version. 52 DXPN-U Online Manual Disk Devices Select Disk Drives to input configuration values for disk drives. The following screen shows the Disk Drives menu: 53 DXPN-U Floppy Drive A Online Manual To enter the configuration value for the first floppy drive, highlight the Floppy Drive A parameter. Drive A/Drive B None 360KB 5. 25" 1. 2MB 5. 25" 720KB 3. 5" 1. 44MB 3. 5" 2. 88MB 3. 5" Follow the same procedure to configure floppy drive B. The available settings and types supported by the motherboard are listed to the left. 54 DXPN-U IDE Drives Online Manual To configure the IDE drives connected to your system, select the parameter that represents the channel and port where the desired hard disk to configure is connected. The options are: IDE Primary Channel Master This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the master port of IDE channel 1. 55 DXPN-U IDE Primary Channel Slave Online Manual This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the slave port of IDE channel 1. 56 DXPN-U IDE Secondary Channel Master Online Manual This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the Master port of IDE channel 2. 57 DXPN-U IDE Secondary Channel Slave Online Manual This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the Slave port of IDE channel 2. 58 DXPN-U Online Manual The following screen appears if you select any of the IDE Drive parameters: Device Detection Mode Device Detection Mode Auto (Default) User None If you select "Manual", you need to fill in all remaining field, such as Cylinder, Head, and Sector on this selected item. If the item "Auto" is selected, the items will remain "0". And when the system boot up, system will detect the hard disk and configure it automatically. "None" means there is no device in the channel. Device Type This parameter shows which type of IDE drive currently used. Cylinder This parameter specifies the number of cylinders of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. 59 DXPN-U Head Online Manual This parameter specifies the number of heads of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Sector This parameter specifies the number of sectors of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Size This parameter specifies the size of your hard disk, in MB. Hard Disk LBA Mode Hard Disk Block Mode Auto (Default) Disabled This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk in use. If you set this parameter to "Auto", the BIOS 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. To disregard the feature, change the setting to "Disable". 60 DXPN-U Onboard Peripherals Online Manual The Onboard Peripherals Configuration allows you to configure the onboard communication ports and the onboard devices. Selecting this option displays the following screen: 61 DXPN-U Serial Ports 1 and 2 Serial Port 1 & 2 Enabled (Default) Disabled Online Manual These parameters allow you to enable or disable serial ports 1 and 2. Base Address Base Address Serial Port 1: 3F8h (Default) 3E8h 2E8h Serial Port 2: 2F8h (Default) 2E8h 3E8h This item allows you to assign address and interrupt for the board serial port. 62 DXPN-U IRQ IRQ Serial Port 1: 4 (Default), 11 Serial Port 2: 3 (Default), 10 Online Manual This function lets you assign an interrupt for serial ports 1 and 2. The options for serial port 2 are IRQ 3 and 10. The Base Address and IRQ parameters for each port are configurable only if the port is enabled. Parallel Port Parallel Port Enabled (Default) Disabled This parameter allows you to enable or disable the parallel port. 63 DXPN-U Online Manual Base Address Base Address 378h (Default) 3BCh 278h This item allows you to assign address and interrupt for the board serial port. IRQ IRQ 7 (Default), 5 This function lets you assign an interrupt for the parallel port. The options are IRQ 5 and 7. The Base Address and IRQ parameters are configurable only if Parallel Port is enabled. If you install an add-on card that has a parallel port whose address conflicts with the onboard parallel port, a warning appears on the screen. Check the parallel port address of the add-on card and change 64 DXPN-U the address to one that does not conflict.
