[. . . ] Halt On This item determines whether the system stops if an error is detected during system boot-up. [All Errors]: The system-boot will stop whenever the BIOS detect a non-fatal error. [No Errors]: The system-boot will not stop for any error detected. [All, But Keyboard]: The system-boot will stop for all errors except a keyboard error. [All, But Diskette]: The system-boot will stop for all errors except a diskette error. [All, But Disk/Key]: The system-boot will stop for all errors except a diskette or keyboard error. Base Memory This item displays the amount of base memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 640K for system with 640K or more memory size installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory This item displays the amount of extended memory detected during system boot-up. AW9D-MAX, AW9D 3-13 Total Memory This item displays the total memory available in the system. 3. 3 Advanced BIOS Features Phoenix ­ AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility Advanced BIOS Features Hyper-Threading Technology Enabled Quick Power On Self Test Enabled CPU Feature Press Enter Hard Disk Boot Priority Press Enter First Boot Device Floppy Second Boot Device Hard Disk Third Boot Device IDE CDROM Boot Other Device Enabled Swap Floppy Drive Disabled Boot Up Floppy Seek Disabled Boot Up NumLock Status On Security Option Setup MPS Version Ctrl For OS 1. 4 Report No FDD for OS No Delay IDE Initial (Secs) 0 Full Screen LOGO Show Enabled Disable Unused PCI Clock Yes Item Help :Move Enter:Select +/-/PU/PD:Value F10:Save ESC:Exit F1:General Help F5: Previous Values F6: Fail-Safe Defaults F7: Optimized Defaults Hyper-Threading Technology This item is used to enable the functionality of the processor with Hyper-Threading Technology and will appear only when using such processor. The Hyper-Threading Technology helps your PC work more efficiently by maximizing processor resources and enabling a single processor to run two separate threads of software simultaneously, bringing forth greater performance and system responsiveness when running multiple applications at once. Quick Power On Self Test When set to [Enabled], this item speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after powering on the system. The BIOS shorten or skip some check during the POST. 3-14 AW9D-MAX, AW9D CPU Feature Click <Enter> key to enter its submenu: Phoenix ­ AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility CPU Feature Thermal Management Thermal Monitor 1 X - TM2 Bus Ratio 12 X x - TM2 Bus VID 0. 8375V Limit CPUID MaxVal Disabled C1E Function Enabled Execute Disable Bit Enabled EIST Function Enabled Item Help :Move Enter:Select +/-/PU/PD:Value F10:Save ESC:Exit F1:General Help F5: Previous Values F6: Fail-Safe Defaults F7: Optimized Defaults BIOS Setup Thermal Management This item selects the type of thermal monitoring. TM2 Bus Ratio This item represents the frequency (bus ratio) of the throttled performance state that will be initiated when the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot. TM2 Bus VID This item represents the voltage of the throttled performance state that will be initiated when the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot. Limit CPUID MaxVal When set to [Enabled], this item limits the CPUID maximum value to 3, which is usually required for older OS like Windows NT4. 0. Leave this item at its default [Disabled] settings for OS like Windows XP. C1E Function This item appears only for certain processors with the C1E (Enhanced Halt State) Function. When set to [Enabled], the processor will further reduce the total power consumption. AW9D-MAX, AW9D 3-15 Execute Disable Bit This item appears only for certain processors with the Execute Disable Bit (XD bit) feature. When set to [Enabled], this item allows the processor to prevent data pages from being used by malicious software to execute code and provide memory protection. EIST Function This item appears only for certain processors with the EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) Function. When set to [Enabled], EIST will dynamically switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to optimize the power and performance balance of the processor and system based on demand. Back to Advanced BIOS Features Setup Menu Hard Disk Boot Priority This item selects the hard disks booting priority. By pressing <Enter> key, you can enter its submenu where the hard disks detected can be selected for the booting sequence to boot up system.
