You can then select the typematic rate and typematic delay in the Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) and Typematic Delay (Msec) fields below. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) This field allows you to select the rate at which the keys are accelerated. Typematic Delay (Msec) This field allows you to select the delay between when the key was first depressed and when the acceleration begins. Security Option This field determines when the system will prompt for the password - ever ytime the system boots or only when you enter the BIOS setup. System The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied unless the correct password is entered at the prompt. Setup The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied unless the correct password is entered at the prompt. 48 Award BIOS Setup Utility OS Select for DRAM > 64MB This field allows you to access the memory that is over 64MB in OS/2. Capability The system board supports SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) hard drives. SMART is a reliability prediction technology for ATA/IDE and SCSI drives. The drive will provide sufficient notice to the system or user to backup data prior to the drives failure. If you are using hard drives that suppor t S. M. A. R. T. , set this field to Enabled. SMART is supported in ATA/33 or later hard drives. 3 49 3 Award BIOS Setup Utility 3. 1. 3 Advanced Chipset Features CMOS Setup Utility - Copyright (C) 1984-2000 Award Software Advanced Chipset Features DRAM Timing By SPD SDRAM Cycle Length DRAM Clock System BIOS Cacheable Video RAM Cacheable AGP Aperture Size AGP-4X Mode AGP Driving Control X AGP Driving Value OnChip USB USB Keyboard Support OnChip Sound OnChip Modem Memory Parity/ECC Check Disabled 3 100MHz Disabled Disabled 64M Enabled Auto DA Enabled Disabled Auto Auto Disabled Item Help Menu Level Move Enter:Select +/-/PU/PD:Value F10:Save F5:Previous Values F6:Fail-Safe Defaults ESC:Exit F1:General Help F7:Optimized Defaults The settings on the screen are for reference only. Your version may not be identical to this one. This section gives you functions to configure the system based on the specific features of the chipset. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered some incompatibility or that data was being lost while using your system. DRAM Timing By SPD Enabled The EEPROM on a PC SDRAM DIMM that has SPD (Serial Presence Detect) data structure stores information about the module such as the memor y type, memor y size, memory speed, etc. When this field is enabled, the system will run according to the information in the EEPROM. It allows you to configure the 2 fields that follow (SDRAM Cycle Length and DRAM Clock). The system will run according to the settings in these fields. Disabled 50 Award BIOS Setup Utility SDRAM Cycle Length This field is used to set the clock cycle for the CAS latency. DRAM Clock This field allows you to set the DRAM clock to 100MHz or 133MHz. System BIOS Cacheable When this field is enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM addressed at F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache controller is enabled. The larger the range of the Cache RAM, the higher the efficiency of the system. [. . . ] Check the path statement to make sure you are writing to the targeted drive. Use another diskette with adequate storage space. Hard Drive Hard disk failure. Make sure the correct drive type for the hard disk drive has been entered in the BIOS. If the system is configured with two hard drives, make sure the bootable (first) hard drive is configured as Master and the second hard drive is configured as Slave. [. . . ]
