CHAPTER 4

AWARD® BIOS SETUP

 

 

Onboard Parallel Mode

To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP + EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultane- ously. The ECP mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA” At this time, the user can choose between DMA channels 3 or 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9 spec. can be chosen.

SPP: Standard Parallel Port

EPP: Enhanced Parallel Port

ECP: Extended Capability Port

PWRON After PWR-FAIL

This option will determine how the system will power on after a power failure.

Game Port Address/Midi Port Address

This will determine which Address the Game Port/Midi Port will use.

Midi Port IRQ

This determines the IRQ in which the MIDI Port can use.

Power Status LED

This item determines which state the Power LED will use. The settings are Blinking (default), Dual, and Single. During blinking, the power LED will blink when the system enters the suspend mode. When the mode is in Dual, the power LED will change its color. Choose the single and the power LED will always remain lit.
