CPU THRM Throtting It allows you to set CPU throttling percentage of 25%, 50%, and 75%. 36 PHOENIX -AWARD BIOS PICO821 All-Iin-one PICO ITX CPU Board 4.10 PnP/PCI Configuration Setup This section describes the configuration of PCI (Personal Computer Interconnect) bus system, which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds close to the CPU speed while communicating with other important components. This section covers very technical items that only experienced users could change default settings. Reset Configuration Data Normally, you leave this item Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup or if installing a new add-on cause the system reconfiguration a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot. Options: Enabled, Disabled. Resources Controlled By The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all boot and Plug and Play-compatible devices. If you select Auto, all interrupt request (IRQ), DMA assignment, and Used DMA fields disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them. The default value is “Manual”. PHOENIX -AWARD BIOS 37 PICO821 All-Iin- PICO821 All-Iin-one PICO ITX CPU Board IRQ Resources When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt to one of the following types in accordance with the type of devices using the interrupt: 1. Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port 1). 2 . PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.The default value is “PCI/ISA PnP”. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop Some non-standard VGA display cards may not show colors properly. This item allows you to set whether MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards can work with PCI/VGA or not. When enabled, a PCI/VGA can work with a MPEG ISA/VESA VGA card; when disabled, a PCI/VGA cannot work with a MPEG ISA/VESA Card. ** PCI Express relative items ** Maximum Payload Size When using DDR SDRAM and Buffer size selection, another consideration in designing a payload memory is the size of the buffer for data storage. Maximum Payload Size defines the maximum TLP (Transaction Layer Packet) data payload size for the device.

The differences between them are: 1 Supervisor password: You can enter and change the options on the setup menu. 2 User password: You can just enter, but have no right to change the options on the setup menu. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. ENTER PASSWORD Type a maximum eight-character password, and press <Enter>. This typed password will clear previously entered password from the CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm this password. Type this password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort this selection and not enter a password. To disable the password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter a password. A message will confirm the password is getting disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely. PASSWORD DISABLED When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter the Setup. It prevents any unauthorized persons from changing your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. You decide when the password is required for the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password is required during booting up and entry into the Setup; if it is set as “Setup”, a prompt will only appear before entering the Setup.
