BIOS Setup Menus
3-3
BIOS Version
Indicates the major and minor core architecture
versions (6.x, where x is a number from 0 to 999.)
BIOS Build Date
Date in MM/DD/YY format on which the OEM built
the system BIOS binary file.
System BIOS Size
Size of BIOS exposed in low memory below the 1MB
boundary. Commonly, 128KB would mean that the
BIOS is visible in the address space from E000:0000
to F000:FFFF.
CPM/CSPM/BPM Modules
Indicates the names of the key architectural modules
used to create the system BIOS binary file. The CPM
module provides the CPU family support; the CSPM
module provides the northbridge support; and the
BPM module provides the board-level support.

Description
Real Time Clock
(HH:MM:SS)
Sets the real-time clock for hour (HH), minute (MM), and
seconds (SS). The hour is calculated according to the 24
hour military clock (00:00:00 through 23:59:59). Use T
AB
or
E
NTER
to move the cursor right, and S
HIFT
-T
AB
to move it
left. Use the number keys, 0-9, to change the field values. It
is not necessary to enter the seconds or type zeros in front
of numbers.
Real Time Clock
(MM/DD/YYYY)
Sets the real-time clock for the month (MM), day (DD), and
year (YYYY). The valid values in this field are 01/01/1981
through 12/31/2099. Use T
AB
or to E
NTER
move the cursor
right, and S
HIFT
-T
AB
to move it left. Use the number keys,
0-9, to change the field values. It is not necessary to type
zeros in front of numbers.
The CPU information is automatically obtained.
The system memory information does not describe physical RAM; rather it describes the RAM as
configured, subtracting RAM used for System Management Mode, Shadowing, Video buffers, and other
uses. This provides realistic values about how much memory is actually available to operating systems
and applications.
The Real Time Clock fields are editable with keystrokes. To navigate through the MM/DD/YYYY and
HH:MM:SS fields, use the TAB and BACKTAB keys. The hours are normally specified in military time;
thus 13 means 1pm, or one hour after noon, whereas 01 means 1am, or one hour after midnight. When
the cursor leaves RTC fields, they either affect the battery-backed RTC right away, allowing the system to
continue with your new settings, or they revert back to old values if the new values are not valid entries.
