The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. T he power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. [. . . ] Options: Disabled (Default) / Enabled Resume On RTC Alarm When " Enabled", you can set the date and time at which the RT C (real-time clock) alarm awak ens the system from Suspend mode. Options: Disabled (Default) / Enabled RTC Alarm Date (Days) You can choose which date the system will boot up. System Time You can choose the system boot up time, input hour, minute and second to specify. Note: If you have change the setting, you must let the system boot up until it goes to the operating system, before this function will work. 15 TG31-A7 BIOS Manual USB Configuration T his item shows the USB controller and using USB device information.

Clear NV RAM T his item allows you to clear the data in the NVRAM (CMOS) by selecting "Yes". Options: No (Default) / Yes Plug & P lay OS When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot sequen ce (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like WindowTM 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. For non-PnP operating systems (DOS, NetwareTM), this option must set to NO. Options: No (Default) / Yes 18 TG31-A7 BIOS Manual PCI Latency Timer T his item controls how long a PCI device can hold the PCI bus bef another takes ore over. T he longer the latency, the longer the PCI device can retain control of the bus before handing it over to another PCI device. Options: 64 (Default) / 32 / 96 / 128 / 160 / 192 / 224 / 248 Allocate IRQ to PCI V GA T his item allows BIOS to choose a IRQ to assign for the PCI VGA card. Options: Yes (Default) / No Palette Snooping Some old graphic controllers need to " snoop" on the VGA palette and then map it to their display as a way to provide boot inf ormation and VGA compatibility. This item allows such snooping to take place.
