Appendix C - SBC Configuration Details
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup menu and its Security
option (presented earlier). If the Security option is set to System, the password will be required both
at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to Setup, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
IDE HDD Auto Detection
The parameters presented on this menu are pre-set at the factory. They should be altered only by
expert users.
This feature automatically detects and configures hard disk drive parameters. If you are uncertain of
your hard disk drives parameters, this features will display them. Generally, the IDE HDD Auto
Detection function is needed only if you change your hard disk drive.
When you select IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION from the CMOS Setup Utility menu, this screen will
appear:

Figure C-11. IDE HDD Auto Detection Screen
Generally speaking, hard disk drives are categorized by size as follows:
Normal: HDD Size < 528MB
LBA: 528MB< HDD Size < 8.4 GB
Large: HDD Size > 8.4GB
If you specify a sub-standard mode for a hard disk drive when formatting, part of the drive will remain
unformatted and therefore inaccessible. For example, if you format a 4GB hard disk drive as a Normal
drive, only 528MB would be formatted and nearly 3.5GB would be unusable.
Auto Detection
The BIOS Setup will display all the possible modes that are supported by the HDD including NORMAL,
LBA, & LARGE. The user can select the appropriate mode.
HDD Mode
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD mode: NORMAL, LBA, & LARGE
NORMAL mode:
Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformations
during accessing.
The maximum number of cylinders, heads & sectors for NORMAL mode are 1024, 16, and 63.
