BIOS Setup
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup
program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic
system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS
RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power
is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output
devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the
first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some
additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning
options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS
Setup.
Plug and Play Support

This AMI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification.
EPA Green PC Support

This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC specification.
APM Support
This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power Management
(APM) specification. Power management features are implemented via the System
Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are
supported. Power to the hard disk drives and video monitors can also be managed by
this AMI BIOS.
ACPI Support
AMI ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration and Power
interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management and
device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support

This AMI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) local bus specification.
DRAM Support
DDR2 SDRAM (Double Data Rate II Synchronous DRAM) is supported.
Supported CPUs
This AMI BIOS supports the AMD CPU.
Using Setup
When starting up the computer, press
<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test
(POST) to enter the BIOS setup utility.
In the BIOS setup utility, you will see
General Help description at the top right
corner, and this is providing a brief General Help
description of the selected item.
Navigation Keys for that particular menu Navigation Keys
are at the bottom right corner, and you can
use these keys to select item and change
the settings.
Notice
z The default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance
of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after changing any settings,
please load the default settings to ensure system’s compatibility and stability. Use
Load Setup Default under the Exit Menu.
z For better system performance, the BIOS firmware is being continuously updated.
The BIOS information described in this manual is for your reference only. The actual
BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly different from this manual.
z The content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not be
responsible for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system damage that
may be caused by wrong-settings.

OverClock Navigator
OverClock .Navigator is designed for beginners in overclock field.
Based on many test and experiments from Biostar Engineer Team, OverClock
Navigator provides 3 default overclock configurations that are able to raise the
system performance.
Options: Normal (Default) / Automate OverClock / Manual OverClock

Auto OverClock System

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

Manual OverClock
OverClock Navigator [Automate OverClock]
The Overclock Navigator provides 3 different engines helping you to overclock your
system. These engines will boost your system performance to different level.
Options:
V6 Tech Engine
This engine will make a good over-clock performance.
V8 Tech Engine
This engine will make a better over-clock performance.
V12 Tech Engine
This engine will make a best over-clock performance.
Cautions:
1. Not every AMD CPU performs the above overclock setting ideally; the difference may vary
with the installed CPU model.
2. From BET experiment, the Atholon64 FX CPU is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.

Bank Interleaving
Bank Interleaving is an advanced chipset technique used to improve memory
performance. Memory interleaving increases bandwidth by allowing simultaneous
access to more than one piece of memory.
Options: Auto (Default)
Channel Interleaving
This item allows you to control the DDR2 dual-channel function.
Options: XOR of Address bit (Default)
Enable Clock to All DIMMs

This item determines whether the BIOS should actively reduce EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) and reduce power consumption by turning off
unoccupied or inactive DIMM slots.
31

MemClk Tristate C3/ATLVID

This item enables or disables the MemClk Tristate function in C3 Mode.
Memory Hole Remapping

This item allows you to enable or disable the remapping of the overlapped PCI
memory above the total physical memory. Only 64-bit OS supports this function.
DCT Unganged Mode

This item controls the DRAM controller ganged (128bit*1) / unganged (64bit*2)
dual-channel operation mode. If two DRAM modules with different size are
installed, using unganged mode can still make it run in dual-channel operation.
Options: Always (Default) / Ganged / Unganged
Power Down Enable

This item controls the DRAM power down function.
Power Down Mode

This item allows you to select the DRAM power down mode.
Options: Channel (Default) / CS
