Chapter 4 – BIOS Setup
Overview
The BIOS is a program that takes care of the basic level of communication between the CPU and peripherals. It contains codes for various advanced features found in this system board. The BIOS allows you to configure the system and save the configuration in a battery-backed CMOS so that the data retains even when the power is off. In general, the information stored in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM will stay unchanged unless a configuration change has been made such as a hard drive replaced or a device added.
It is possible that the CMOS battery will fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens, you need to install a new CMOS battery and reconfigure the BIOS settings.
Note: The BIOS is constantly updated to improve the performance of the system board; therefore the BIOS screens in this chapter may not appear the same as the actual one. These screens are for reference purpose only.
Default Configuration
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined according to the Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions. There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your system configuration.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility can only be operated from the keyboard and all commands are keyboard commands. The commands are available at the right side of each setup screen.
The BIOS Setup Utility does not require an operating system to run. After you power up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test, the message “Press DEL to run setup” will appear on the screen. If the message disappears before you respond, restart the system or press the “Reset” button. You may also restart the system by pressing the <Ctrl> <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.

Bits per second Selects serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.
Data Bits Determine data bits.
Parity A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors. Even: parity bit is 0 if the num of 1’s in the data bits is even. Odd: parity bit is 0 if num of 1’s in the data bits is odd. Mark: parity bit is always 1. / Space: Parity bit is always 0. / Mark and Space Parity do not allow for error detection.
Stop Bits Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit. Flow Control Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a `stop’ signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a `start’ signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals. VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support Enable VT-UTF8 Combination Key Support for ANSI/VT100 terminals. Recorder Mode With this mode enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal data. Resolution 100×31 Enables or disables extended terminal resolution.

Updating the BIOS
To update the BIOS, you will need the new BIOS file and a flash utility. Please contact technical support or your sales representative for the files. For updating AMI BIOS in UEFI mode, you may refer to the how-to-video at https://www.dfi.com/Knowledge/Video/5 .
Notice: BIOS SPI ROM
1. The Intel® Trusted Execution Engine has already been integrated into this system board. Due to the safety concerns, the BIOS (SPI ROM) chip cannot be removed from this system board and used on another system board of the same model.
2. The BIOS (SPI ROM) on this system board must be the original equipment from the factory and cannot be used to replace one which has been utilized on other system boards.
3. If you do not follow the methods above, the Intel® Trusted Execution Engine will not be updated and will cease to be effective.
Note: a. You can take advantage of flash tools to update the default configuration of the
BIOS (SPI ROM) to the latest version anytime. b. When the BIOS IC needs to be replaced, you have to populate it properly onto the
system board after the EEPROM programmer has been burned and follow the technical person’s instructions to confirm that the MAC address should be burned or not.
