Chapter 7 - Using AMIBIOS Setup 85
Password Checking
-- This parameter prevents unauthorized system boot
up or use of AMIBIOS Setup. The default value is Setup, enabling the
system to prompt for a password before allowing you to enter AMIBIOS
Setup. If you chose the value Always, the password prompt appears each
time the workstation is powered on. The Change Password value enables
you to press
ENTER
at the password prompt to disable this parameter.
ISA Video ROM C000, 32K
-- ROM shadowing is a procedure in which
BIOS code is copied from ROM to RAM when the system boots. When set
to Enabled (default) the BIOS then executes from RAM, providing faster
access time and improving system performance.
ISA Adapter ROM XXXX, 16K
-- For ISA boards that contain a BIOS on
ROM, this parameter (when set to Enabled) allows you to tell the ISA board
BIOS to be copied from the ISA board ROM to system board RAM. An ISA
board BIOS executes faster from system board RAM than from the ISA
board ROM. All of the ISA Adapter ROM parameters are set to Disabled by
default.
Chipset Setup
The Chipset Setup menu contains the parameters that affect the functionality
of some hardware components.
Sound, IO Port Select
-- This parameter allows you to select the I/O base
and MP-401 addresses used by the sound subsystem. The default is 220/330.
The other choices are 240/300 and Disabled. When set to Disabled, the
DMA and IRQ addresses for the next three sound parameters are no longer
reserved. These DMA and IRQ addresses can then be used for other
resources.
Sound, 8-bit DMA Select
-- This parameter allows you to select the 8-bit
DMA used by the sound subsystem. The default is DMA1. The other
choice is DMA3.
Sound, 16-bit DMA Select
-- This parameter allows you to select the
16-bit DMA used by the sound subsystem. The default is DMA5. The other
choice is DMA7.
Sound, IRQ Select
-- This parameter allows you to select the IRQ used by
the sound subsystem. The default is IRQ10. Other choices are IRQ5 and
IRQ7.
