To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any static electricity on your body. Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-6238 to ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap. Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets. NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC PROTECTION.

The AMI BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offering various options that could be selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist you in the proper usage of these features. 4.1 Starting Setup The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: 1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or 2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test). Press DEL to enter SETUP. If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to... PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP 25 4.2 Using Setup In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the <PageUp> and <PageDown> keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit.

PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks): This option specifies the latency timings (in PCI clocks) of PCI devices installed in the PCI expansion slots. The available settings are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, and 248. 39 Primary Graphics Adapter: The settings made on this field identify the type of display controller used in the system. The available choices are Auto, Internal, and External AGP/External PCI. Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA: Set this option to Yes when allocating an IRQ to the VGA device on the PCI bus. The available settings are Yes, and No. DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7: These options allow you to specify the bus type used by each DMA channel. The available settings are PnP, and ISA/EISA. IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15 These options specify the bus on which the specified IRQ line is used. The options allow you to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. The options also determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If user needs to remove more IRQs from the pool, he can use each option to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to each. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP. 40 4.9 Peripheral Setup The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks. PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This is much simpler and more efficient (also faster). AMIBIOS SETUP – PERIPHERAL SETUP (C)2001 American Megatrends, Inc.
