BIOS SET UP

This chapter will tell you how to set up the system configuration
(C10S) under the AMf BIOS. If your system has had different BIOS 111stallcd,thcsc procedures will not work. The
set up program is co11taincd in the system’s Read Only Memory (ROM), not on a disk like the operating system.

AMI BIOS SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SET UP

The SET UP program lets you specify your system’s configuration of floppy diskette drives, hard disk drives, video
display, memory size, BIOS shadow, co-processor wait, fast page rnode, EMS function, date and time. The SET
UP program is bulit-in BIOS. Diskette is not necessary for the SET l.W.

RUNNING THE BIOS SETUP PROGRAM

To run CMOS SET UP, follow these procedures:

1. Simultaneously press the <CTRL>,<ALT>, and <DEL> keys to reboot the system (or turn the power on if the
system is ott). Alter booting the system and testing the memory, in a moment, the following message will
appear on the screen: Press <DEL> if you want to run SETUP or DIAGS
2. Pleasc Press the <DEL> key (the one that shares the decimal point at the bottom of the numeric keypad). The
following menu appears
EXIT FOR BOOT
RUN CMOS SETUP
RUN DIAGNOSTICS
Using the < i > and < J, > keys, highlight RUN CMOS SET UP and press < ENTER >
3. Follow the instructions to continue until the set up IS finished.

EMS DRIVER SET UP

The SNB-M008 MINI 286 main board comes with a EMS driver diskette that contains the file: GS04EMM.SYS.
This file must be installed in the CONFlG.SYS file to initialize EMS memory and shadow RAM.

INSTALLING EMS PROCEDURE

To use SNB-M008 MIN1 286 EMS DRIVER SET UP follow this procedure:

STEP 1. Boot PC system by using DOS and the system will prompt you with A>
STEP 2. Copy GS04EMM.sys ftle on your DOS diskette.
STEP 3. Type:
COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <ENTER>
DEVICE=GS04EMM.SYS /E:? /R:? /U:? /X:? <ETTER> “Z <ENTER>
The screen will display as follows:
1 File(s) copied
A>
Where E : EMS page mode.
R : Shadow RAM set.
U : User memory area set.
X : Driver HMA set.
? : GS04EMM.SYS parameters
STEP 4 Reboot your system .

THE GS04EMM.SYS PARAMETERS

There are is described as follows:
Driver I-IMA set

() ===> This option will copy the EMS driver to segment location F400 – F7FF. This option wil1 save 16K in the
base memory.
1 ====> This option will install the EMS driver in the conventional manner. The EMS driver wilJ occupy the
system memory.
2 ==> This option will install the EMS in the segment
ECOO – EF’FF. This option will save about 16K in the base memory. This is the default.

EXAMPLE:

DEVICE=GS04EMM.SYS
default:n0 shadow RAM is set, and the driver is copied to segment F400 F7FF.
DEVICE-GSO4EMM.SYS R:0 R:5
This line will set the shadow RAM at location CO00 C3FF (video BIOS) and F800 FFFF (system BIOS). The
snke.sys is savedin F400 F7FF.
DEVICE=GS04EMM.SYS /R:0 /R:5 /X:1
Same is the second entry except the driver is loaded in the system memory.
DEVICE-Gso4EMM.SYS /R:0 /R:5 /R:4
This entry will make the atperf benchmark’s ROM accesS ume to appear with less time. This is entry is purely
 used tor this particular benchmark.
