Section 3 System Setup  
This section provides the information for the system setup procedure and also briefs  
the setup procedures for system BIOS.  
3-1 SYSTEM SETUP  
The system BIOS supports an internal ROM-based system setup utility. When the  
first time you power up the system, the system CMOS memory contains incorrect  
configuration information and the BIOS prompts you to get into the SETUP utility.  
The system requires correct configuration information stored in the CMOS memory.  
The SETUP utility will guide you to properly configure the system in a simple and  
straightforward way. A typical setup procedure is as follows:  
1. Properly install the system.  
A basic system should include at least  
- the SQ599 motherboard with CPU and cooler installed  
- a standard AT case with power supply  
- an AT compatible keyboard  
- the floppy driver and hard disk  
- the monitor  
- minimum one SIMM module with total 8MB memory  
2. Turn the system power on.  
3. The system BIOS will run Power-On-Self-Test(POST). When the test is  
completed, the system prompts you to go through the system SETUP utility. You can  
ignore the prompt if system setup has been configured correctly.  
4. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the SETUP utility to  
- Set Date and Time  
- Select correct floppy disk type and number  
- Select correct hard disk type and number  
- Set the advanced features if necessary  
5. Exit the SETUP utility when done  
6. System starts to reboot.  
8
 
SQ599  
7. The system should have correct configuration information by now and should have  
no problem booting up the operating system from floppy or hard disk. If not, check  
the peripheral types, memory size and connections and go through the SETUP utility  
again.  
3-2 PCI Device Setup  
PCI device setup allows user to allocate IRQs and specify IRQ's sensitivity for PCI  
and ISA devices. Follow the on-screen setup instructions and refer to the manual  
provided with the PCI device for proper installation.

Memory  
The 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  
16  
 
SQ599  
512K for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 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 use for  
this area is Shadow RAM.  
Total Memory System total memory is the sum of basic memory, extended memory, and  
other memory.

and the message PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER  
SETUP will be shown in the information box at the bottom.  
POST Beep  
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. The one code indicates that a video  
error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any  
additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by three  
short beeps. The other one code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep  
code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.  
Error Messages  
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error  
during the POST. This list indicates the error messages for all Award BIOSes:  
CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED  
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.

35  
 
SQ599  
(1) For some software packages (e.g. ADI packages, PCAD), their driver  
files can be put to any directory you prefer.  
(2) For some software packages (e.g. WordPerfect, GEM/Ventura,  
VersaCAD/386, Lotus 1-2-3), the driver files must be put to where main  
program resides.  
(3) For some software packages (e.g. OrCAD Rel. 4), they have their  
default directory for the drivers to reside.  
Therefore, you should be very careful of the "drive:\directory" you assign for these  
drivers. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

Windows Setup  
1. In "SiS VGA Driver" program group, choose "Setup" icon to enter setup screen.  
choose which options you would like to use.  
2. After completing your selections, choose "OK".  
3. Choose "Restart Winodws" to re-boot Windows using new settings.  
Or, choose "Continue" to continue your current Windows processes.  
(But when you re-boot Windows, the new settings would take effect.)  
Power Saving Setup in Windows  
1. In "SiS VGA Driver" program group, choose "power_saver" icon to enter  
power_saver setup screen, select which options you would like to use.  
2. After completing the selections, choose "OK".  
Define_Key  
"Define_Key" is used to define "hot keys" for zoom-in or zoom-out screen without  
entering setup program.  
The operation principles of zoom-in and zoom-out are as follow:  
(1) The resolution change sequence for zoom-in is  
1024x768 ===> 800x600 ===> 640x480 .  
(2) The resolution change sequence for zoom-out is  
640x480 ===> 800x600 ===> 1024x768 .  
(3) But you must first be able to zoom-in before you may zoom-out,  
that means you can not get a resolution larger than that you setup.  
To use this feature, please follow the following procedures.  
1. In "SiS VGA Driver" program group, choose "Define Key" icon to enter "hot  
key" define screen. select which "hot key" you would like to use and enable it.  
2. After completing the selections, choose "OK".  
Notes  
1. The setup programs should be placed on the root of the diskette and the drivers  
should be placed on the subdirectory "\windows".  
2. All the driver files (i.e. "VGA*.DRV") are in compressed format, therefore you  
can't use Windows Setup Program to setup them before they are de-compressed.  
3. The power saver's timer settings would be effective even exit Windows back to  
DOS.
