BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Pheonix-Award™

BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to

modify the basic s ystem configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM.

The power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup

information when the power is turned off.

Bas ic Input-Output Sys tem (BIOS) determines what a co mputer c an do without

accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and

outp ut devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and d isk d rives. BIOS

activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the

operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password

protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in

BIOS Setup.

Plug and Play Support

This PHEONIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A

specification and ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write.

EPA Green PC Support

This PHEONIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC

specification.

APM Support

This PHEONIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanc ed

Power Management (APM) specification. Power management features are

implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend

power management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk drives and

video monitors can also be managed by this PHEONIX-AWARD BIOS.

P4M900-M4

!! WARNING !!

For better system performance, the BIOS firmware is being

continuous ly upd ated. The BIOS information described in

this manual (Figure 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) is fo r yo ur

reference only. The actual BIOS information and settings on

board may be slightly different from this manual.

Advanced Chipset Features

This submenu allows you to configure special chipset features.

Integrated Peripherals

This submenu allows you to configure certain IDE hard drive options and

Programmed Input/ Output features.

Power Management Setup

This submenu allows you to configure the power management features.

PnP/PCI Configurations

This submenu allows you to configure certain “Plug and Play” and PCI options.

PC Health Status

This submenu allows yo u to mo nitor the hardware of your system.

Performance Booster Zone

This submenu allows you to change CPU Vcore Voltage and CPU/PCI clock.

(However, we suggest you to use the default setting. Changing the voltage and

clock improp erly may damage the CPU or M/B!)

Load Optimized Defaults

This selection allows you to reload the BIOS when problem occurs during

system booting sequence. These configurations are factory settings optimized

for this system. A confirmation message will be displayed before defaults are
