[. . . ] 17) clr CMOS You are not allowed to use Clear CMOS switch function if you set up the system password. If you want to clear the CMOS values, please clean your system password in advance or refer to page 32 "Clear CMOS jumper" description instead. 38 2. 13 Dr. Debug is used to provide code information, which makes troubleshooting even easier. The Bootblock initialization code sets up the chipset, memory and other components before system memory is available. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the bootblock initialization portion of the BIOS: Checkpoint Before D1 D1 Description Early chipset initialization is done. Early super I/O initialization is done including RTC and keyboard controller. If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do memory sizing in Bootblock code. Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control is given to it. Both key sequence and OEM specific method is checked to determine if BIOS recovery is forced. The Bootblock-Runtime interface module is moved to system memory and control is given to it. Leaves all RAM below 1MB Read-Write including E000 and F000 shadow areas but closing SMRAM. Give control to BIOS POST (ExecutePOSTKernel). D4 D5 D6 D7 DA 39 The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS pre-boot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS: Checkpoint 03 Description Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialized CMOS as mentioned in the Kernel Variable 04 "wCMOSFlags. " Check CMOS diagnostic byte to determine if battery power is OK and CMOS checksum is OK. If the CMOS checksum is bad, update CMOS with power-on default values and clear passwords. 05 06 Initializes both the 8259 compatible PICs in the system Initializes the interrupt controlling hardware (generally PIC) and interrupt vector table. Traps INT1Ch vector to "POSTINT1ChHandlerBlock. " 08 Initializes the CPU. Program the keyboard controller command byte is being done after Auto detection of KB/MS using AMI KB-5. Early CPU Init Start -- Disable Cache - Init Local APIC Set up boot strap proccessor Information Set up boot strap proccessor for POST Enumerate and set up application proccessors Re-enable cache for boot strap proccessor Early CPU Init Exit Initializes the 8042 compatible Key Board Controller. Traps the INT09h vector, so that the POST INT09h handler gets control for IRQ1. Uncompress all available language, BIOS logo, and Silent logo modules. Detects and initializes the video adapter installed in the system that have optional ROMs. [. . . ] Boot From Onboard LAN Use this item to enable or disable the Boot From Onboard LAN feature. Boot Up Num-Lock If this item is set to [On], it will automatically activate the Numeric Lock function after boot-up. 3 . 7 Security Screen In this section, you may set or change the supervisor/user password for the system.
