[. . . ] S. M. A. R. T is a utility that monitors your disk status to predict hard disk failure. This gives you an opportunity to move data from a hard disk that is going to fail to a safe place before the hard disk becomes offline. BootUp Num-Lock This item is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to On will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to Off will allow end users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. Floppy Drive Swap Setting to Enabled will swap floppy drives A: and B:. Floppy Drive Seek This setting causes the BIOS to search for floppy disk drives at boot time. When enabled, the BIOS will activate the floppy disk drives during the boot process: the drive activity light will come on and the head will move back and forth once. First A: will be done and then B: if it exists. 3-10 BIOS Setup Primary Display This configures the primary subsystem in the computer. Available options: Mono (monochrome), CGA40x25, CGA80x25, VGA/EGA, Absent. Configure SDRAM Timing by Selects whether DRAM timing is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module. Setting to SPD enables SDRAM 3-13 MS-6590 ATX Mainboard Frequency, SDRAM CAS# Latency, Row Precharge Time, RAS Pulse Width, RAS to CAS Delay and SDRAM Bank Interleave automatically to be determined by BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD. Selecting User allows users to configure these fields manually. SDRAM Frequency Use this item to configure the clock frequency of the installed SDRAM. Settings options: 200MHz, 266MHz, 333MHz, 400MHz, Auto. SDRAM CAS# Latency This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Settings: Auto, 1. 5, 2, 2. 5, 3. 0 (clocks). 2 (clocks) increases the system performance the most while 3 (clocks) provides the most stable performance. Row Precharge Time This item controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refreshing may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. [. . . ] Press F6 when the message "Press F6 if you need to install third party SCSI or RAID driver" appears. When the Windows Setup window is generated, press S to specify an Additional Device(s). Insert the driver diskette VIA VT6420/VT8237 Disk Driver into drive A: and press <Enter>. Depending on your operation system, choose VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows XP), VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows 2000) or VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows NT4) from the list that appears on Windows XP Setup screen, press the <Enter> key.
