Software • BIOS System for System Units with Socket 7 (ZIF)
Parallel Port Mode
Here you can set the operating mode of the parallel interface. The following items
can be selected:
SPP
Standard Parallel Port (max. 64 kByte/s unidirectional)
EPP 1.7
Enhanced Parallel Port v1.7 (max. 2 Mbyte/s bidirectional)
EPP 1.9
Enhanced Parallel Port v1.9 (max. 2 Mbyte/s bidirectional)
ECP
Enhanced Capability Port (max. 2 Mbyte/s bidirectional)
EPP+ECP
Combined EPP/ECP transfer
Please take note that the EPP and ECP modes must be supported by connected
devices.
ECP Mode Use DMA
A DMA channel is used from the parallel interface in the ECP mode.
2.10 Password Setting
The system password can be set here (min. 4, max. 8 characters). If, when requested to enter
password, you exit without pressing Enter, the password function is deactivated (see also
section "BIOS Features Setup, Security Option").
The password entered is also saved in the CMOS Backup, which makes it impossible
to delete the password. If the password is forgotten, then the Flash ROM component
must be exchanged at B&R.
2.11 IDE HDD Auto Detection
All connected IDE devices are automatically recognized in this menu.
When using larger hard disks, you must select between the different data transfer methods
(normal, LBA or large) according to each HDD type and size. The LBA Mode is preferred when
using Windows systems (see also the section "Standard CMOS Setup, Hard Disks").
