Standard CMOS Setup 5DVX
information should be provided in the documentation from your hard disk vendor or
the system manufacturer.
There are the option of Type ?AUTO? and Mode ?AUTO? to auto detect the hard
disk type and the hard disk mode (Normal, LBA and Large). If a hard disk has not
been installed select NONE and press <Enter>.
Note: Mode Setting For Hard Disk Larger than 528MB
The Mode settings are for IDE hard disks only. There are three entries you can select from in the
mode field, ?Normal?, ?Large? and ?LBA?.
Set Mode to the Normal settings for IDE hard disk drives smaller than 528MB. Use the LBA setting
for drives over 528MB that use Logical Block Addressing mode to allow larger IDE hard disks.
Drive A /Drive B
This category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that have been
installed in the computer.
Video
This category selects the type of adapter used for the primary system monitor that
must match your video display card and monitor. Although secondary monitors are
supported, you do not have to select the type in Setup.
Halt On
This category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during
power up. There are different types of error can be config in this category.
Total Memory
This category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of
the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory
installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 640K for systems
with 640K or more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is
the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device
drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most applicause
for this area is Shadow RAM.
