Chipset Configuration Keyboard Configuration I/O Device Configuration Discussed on p. 41 FORMAT: OPTIONS: [option] Both Disabled Primary Secondary Onboard PCI IDE `Both' enables both IDE ports. Enables the secondary port only. FORMAT: OPTIONS: [option] Disabled Enabled Serial Port A (. . B) Auto `Disabled' turns off the port. `Enabled' requires you to enter the base I/O address and the INT number on the next line. `Auto' makes the BIOS configure the port during POST. 38 http://www. tyan. com (advanced setup, continued) FORMAT: OPTIONS: NOTES: FORMAT: OPTIONS: Base I/O NOTES: [option] IR Selects the mode to use. Normal IR = Infrared This option is only for Serial Port B. [option] 3F8, 2F8 3E8, 2E8 Mode These options are dependent on the IRQ, and vice versa. Recommended combinations include `3F8, IRQ4' and `2F8, IRQ3'. [option] IRQ4 These IRQs are paired IRQ3 with the Base I/O option. Recommended combinations include `3F8, IRQ4' and `2F8, IRQ3'. [option] Disabled Enabled FORMAT: OPTIONS: Interrupt NOTES: FORMAT: OPTIONS: Parallel Port Auto `Disabled' turns off the port. `Enabled' requires you to enter the base I/O address and the INT number. `Auto' makes the BIOS configure the port during POST. FORMAT: OPTIONS: [option] Output only Bi-directional EPP Mode Standard one-way protocol for parallel devices. Enhanced Parallel Port interface may provide higher bandwidth, if an EPP device is used.

Chipset Configuration screen Options related to the graphics interface can be altered through this screen. FORMAT: OPTIONS: Graphics Aperture [option] 32MB 64MB 128MB 256MB 512MB 1GB None Sets the size of the memory area reserved for storage of graphics data structures used by the AGP. FORMAT: OPTIONS: [option] Disabled / Enabled If set to Enabled, certain memory will be bypassed for performance. Valid only if BOTH of the following are true: 1) System is single or dual processor and only P0 is present. 2) CPU clock divisor is 4:1 or greater. By Pass Mode FORMAT: OPTIONS: [option] None Single bit SERR Signal Condition Multiple bits Both ERR signals not output under any condition. [. . . ] It is fast enough to support video transfer, and is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices. VGA (Video Graphics Array): the PC video display standard. V-SYNC: controls the vertical properties of the monitor. ZIF socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and the metal level is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into place on the board. 62 http://www. tyan. com Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. [. . . ]
