Installations  
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:  
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground  
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap  
before you touch the DIMM.  
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a  
malfunction.  
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the IP-4GVI63 Series  
and insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into  
the inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the  
retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.  
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same  
procedure as above.  
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out  
and try again.  
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both  
sides of the socket.  
Removing a DIMM:  
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to  
carefully push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it  
out of the socket.  
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be  
populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules.

SECTION 3  
AWARD BIOS SETUP  
3.1 BIOS Instructions  
Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows  
user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters.  
The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will  
be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information  
saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration  
change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.  
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the  
CMOS only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS  
settings.

3.6 Advanced Chipset Features  
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific  
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and  
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external  
cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA  
bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need  
to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide  
the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might  
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was  
being lost while using your system.

If an insufficient number of cycles are allowed for the RAS to accumulate its  
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM  
may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more  
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is  
installed in the system.  
The choice: 2, 3.

3.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting  
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The  
differences between are:  
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup  
menus.  
Set User Password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change  
the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following  
message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a  
password.  
ENTER PASSWORD:  
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>.  
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from  
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the  
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the  
selection and not enter a password.  
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to  
enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled.  
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter  
Setup freely.  
PASSWORD DISABLED.  
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it  
every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person  
from changing any part of your system configuration.  
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the  
BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would  
prevent unauthorized use of your computer.  
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features  
Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). 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.
