Award BIOS Setup Utility
PCI 2.1 Compliance
By default, this field is Disabled. However, if you encounter problems
with your PCI card, try setting this field to Enabled. It may be that your
card is PCI 2.1 compliant.
AGP Aperture Size (MB)
This field is relevant to the memory-mapped graphics data of the
AGP card installed in your system. Leave this in its default setting -
64MB.
System Health Monitor
This section of the setup allows you to enable the System Health
Monitor function. When enabled, the BIOS will monitor the systems
health conditions everytime you boot the system. If the BIOS
detected an abnormal condition during POST (such as when the
temperature of the processor is too high or the speed of the fan is
too slow), a warning message will appear BUT no alarm will sound.
If you want a warning alarm to sound, you must install the Hardware
Doctor utility included in the provided CD. This utility will allow you to
enable the warning alarm and manually set the highest and lowest limit
of the health conditions monitored by the utility.
Once this utility is installed, the system will ignore the settings in the
System Health Monitor section of the setup. If you are using
Windows
95/98, you may select between using the utility and the
CPU/Chipset Setup. For other operating systems, you may only use the
CPU/Chipset Setup. Refer to the Hardware Doctor Utility section
(Chapter 4) for more information.
System Health Check
By default, this function is enabled. The BIOS will monitor the internal
temperature of the system, temperature of the processors, speed
of the fans, voltage of the processors and the output voltage of
the power supply.
