[. . . ] The configuration values usually get lost or corrupted when the power of the onboard CMOS battery weakens. IV. BIOS (Standard CMOS) 28 The preceding screen provides you with a list of options. At the bottom of this screen are the control keys for this screen. Take note of these keys and their respective uses. User-configurable fields appear in a different color. If you need information on the selected field, press <F1>. The help menu will then appear to provide you with the information you need. The memory display at the lower right side of the screen is read-only and adjusts according to the installed memory in your system. Details of Standard CMOS Setup Date To set the date, highlight the "Date" field and then press either <Page Up>/<Page Down> or <+>/<­> to set the current date. Valid values for month, day and year are: Month: (1 to 12), Day: (1 to 31), Year: (up to 2079). ASUS C-PKND User's Manual IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Time To set the time, highlight the "Time" field and then press either <Page Up>/<Page Down> or <+>/<­> to set the current time. Follow the hour, minute and second format. Valid values for hour, minute and second are: (Hour: (00 to 23), Minute: (00 to 59), Second: (00 to 59). Press <Enter> twice if you do not want to modify the current time. NOTE: You can bypass the date and time prompts by creating an AUTOEXEC. BAT file. For information on how to create this file, please refer to the MS-DOS manual. Hard Disks This field records the specifications for all non-SCSI hard disk drives installed in your system. The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four IDE hard disks or other IDE devices. Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first of which is the "master" and the second is the "slave". Specifications for SCSI hard disks do not need to be entered because they operate using device drivers and are not supported by any BIOS. If you install either the optional PCI-SC200 or PCI-SC860 SCSI controller card into the motherboard, see section VI for instructions. If you install other vendor's SCSI controller card, refer to their respective documentations on how to install the required SCSI drivers. For IDE hard disk drive setup, you can: · Use the Auto setting for detection during bootup. [. . . ] Unlike other BIOS software, the BIOS on the baseboard uses the same technology implemented for Plug and Play to allow dynamic real-time updating of DMI information versus creating a new BIOS image file and requiring the user to update the whole BIOS. This DMI Configuration Utility also allows the system integrator or end user to add additional information into the MIFD, such as serial numbers, housing configurations, and vendor information. Information not detected by the baseboard BIOS has to be manually entered through the DMI Configuration Utility and updated into the MIFD. This DMI Configuration Utility provides the same reliability as PnP updating and will prevent the refreshing failures associated with updating the entire BIOS. System Requirements The DMI Configuration Utility (DMICFG. EXE) must be used in real mode for the program to run; the base memory must be at least 180K. [. . . ]
