VL-EPM-16 Tomcat CMOS Setup Reference

This article provides reference information and tips for setting CMOS Setup parameters on the VL-EPM-16 (Tomcat). Start CMOS Setup by pressing Delete during the early boot cycle. The Main menu appears first. You can scroll to other menus using the left and right arrow keys. The CMOS Setup menus are:

Main Menu Advanced Menu

o Board Configuration o CPU Configuration o IDE Configuration

IDE Master/Slave Configurations o Remote Access Configuration o USB Configuration

USB Mass Storage Device Configuration PCI/PnP Menu

o IRQ Trigger Type Settings Boot Menu

o Boot Settings Configuration Security Menu Chipset Menu

o NorthBridge Chipset Configuration o SouthBridge Chipset Configuration

ISA Configuration Serial/Parallel Port Configuration WatchDog Configuration

Exit Menu

The basic idea when using CMOS Setup is to navigate to the menus containing fields you want to review, and change those fields as desired. When your settings are complete, navigate to the Exit menu, and select “Save Changes and Exit.” This causes the settings to be stored in nonvolatile memory in the system, and the system will reboot so that POST can configure itself with the new settings. After rebooting it may be desirable to reenter the Setup system as necessary to adjust settings as necessary.

Once the system boots, CMOS Setup cannot be entered; this is because the memory used by the BIOS configuration manager is deallocated by the system BIOS, so that it can be used by the OS when it boots. To reenter CMOS Setup after boot, simply reset the system or power off and power back on.

Note: The configurations and factory defaults described here are for VL-EPM-16 BIOS version 1.00.

Main Menu The Main menu displays BIOS, processor, and memory information and edits the system date and time. A record of system faults and MTBF is also displayed.

OnBoard PCI IDE Controller

Values: Disabled, Primary, Secondary, Both

Disables or selects the IDE channel. Because the EPM-16 has only one IDE controller, this parameter should be set to Primary.

Hard Disk Write Protect



Setting this parameter to enabled prevents the IDE hard disk from being written to. To operate the hard disk normally, set this parameter to Enabled.

IDE Detect Time Out (Sec)

Values: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35

Sets the maximum time in seconds that the BIOS will try to auto-detect the connection device. A value of 0 is best if the on-board IDE controller is attached to specific drives. Most IDE drives can be detected in 5 seconds or less.

ATA(PI) 80Pin Cable Detection

Values: Host & Device, Host, Device

Selects the method used to auto-detect the type of IDE cable attached. Host & Device uses both the IDE controller and IDE device, Host uses only the IDE controller, and Device uses only the IDE device.

Hard Disk Delay

Values: Disabled, 1 Second, 2 Second, 4 Second, 8 Second

Sets the amount of time the BIOS will wait for a device to become ready. In most cases, a delay of 2 seconds is adequate.

OnBoard IDE Operate Mode

Values: Legacy Mode, Native Mode

Sets the I/O and memory address of the IDE controller. Legacy Mode uses standard IDE controller addresses. Native Mode uses 8212 controller addresses.

Primary IDE Pin Select

Values: Parallel IDE, SD Card

This parameter should be set to Parallel IDE.

Standard IDE Compatible


This function is reserved for Linux. Select Enabled when operating the EPM-16 under Linux. When operating under Windows, the parameter has no function and either setting is allowed.

IDE Master/Slave Configurations The IDE Master/Slave menus configure IDE parameters.

Type

Values: Not Installed, Auto, CD/DVD, ARMD

Selects the type of IDE device installed:

Not Installed: Prevents the BIOS from searching for an IDE disk drive.

Auto: Allows the BIOS to auto-detect the type of IDE device attached. This setting should be used if a hard disk drive is attached.

CD/DVD: Specifies that a CD or DVD drive is attached. The BIOS will not attempt to search for other types of IDE devices.

ARMD: Specifies that an ATAPI removable media device is attached.

LBA/Large Mode

Values: Disabled, Auto

Disables the Logical Block Address (LBA)/Large mode or enables it if the device supports this mode and was not previously formatted with LBA mode disabled.

Block (Multi-Sector Transfer)

Values: Disabled, Auto

Enables or disables multi-sector data transfers. When set to Auto, data transfers will occur in multiple sectors at a time if the device supports such transfers. When set to Disabled, data transfers will occur one sector at a time.


PIO Mode

Values: Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Selects the IDE programmable I/O (PIO) mode. Setting the PIO mode programs the timing cycle between the IDE controller and the drives connected to it. When set to Auto, the PIO mode is detected automatically. Use this setting if the device PIO mode is unknown. The data transfer rates of each mode is shown below.

PIO Mode 0: 3.3 MB/sec.




PIO Mode 4: 16.6 MB/sec. This setting generally works well with all hard disks manufactured after 1999.

DMA Mode

Values: Auto

The DMA mode is set automatically.

S.M.A.R.T.

Values: Auto, Disabled, Enabled

Enables or disables Smart Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, which allows the BIOS to report system information over a network.
