[. . . ] Keyboard Interface Typematic Rate Setting When enabled, you can set the following two typematic control items. When disabled, keystrokes are determined arbitrarily by the keyboard controller in your system. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) The typematic rate sets the rate at which characters on the screen repeat when a key is pressed and held down. Typematic Delay (Msec) The typematic delay sets how long after you press a key that a character begins repeating. G. Security Option The Supervisor and/or User Password functions shown in Figure 3-1 must be set to take advantage of this function. When the Security Option is set to System, a password must be entered to boot the sysvtem or enter the BIOS setup program. When the Security Option is set to Setup, a password is required to enter the BIOS setup program. H. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop Some non-standard VGA cards or MPEG video cards may not show colors properly. OS Select (For DRAM > 64MB) If your system's DRAM is larger than 64MB and you are running OS/2, select OS/2 as the item value. Otherwise, set the item value to Non-OS/2 for all other operating systems. J. Shadow Memory Software such as system BIOS, video BIOS, SCSI BIOS, etc that resides in ROM (Read Only Memory) chips is called firmware. Shadowing of firmware occurs when BIOS is copied to RAM address C0000h through DFFFFh. Video BIOS loads into the C0000-C7FFF memory area when video shadowing is enabled. If an expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to know the address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM. 27 User's Manual Shadowing improves the firmware's performance because the firmware can be read by the CPU through the 16- or 32-bit DRAM bus as opposed to the 8-bit XT bus. However, shadowing also results in reducing the amount of high memory (640 KB to 1 MB) for loading device drivers. Shadowing is used mostly for ROM chips on ISA cards and not for PCI cards. Shadowing and playing games at the same time may result in system instability as some games access the RAM memory area being shadowed. 28 Award BIOS Setup Program 3-3 Chipset Features Setup By choosing the Chipset Features Setup option from the CMOS SETUP UTILITY menu(Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed.

Explanation of the DRAM timing and chipset features setup is lengthy, highly technical and beyond the scope of this manual. Below are abbreviated descriptions of the functions in this setup menu. You can look on the world wide web for helpful chipset and RAM configuration information including AWARD's web site at http://www. award. com. A. [. . . ] Com2 Mode When set to Enabled, the COM port will be redirected to support IR function. E. Onboard Parallel Port Select a logical LPT port address and corresponding interrupt for the physical parallel port. F. Parallel Port Mode Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select Normal, Compatible, or SPP unless you are certain your hardware and software both support one of the other available modes G. Onboard Legacy Audio This function must be enabled in order to use the onboard audio function. [. . . ]
