CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™
5.1 INT RODUCT ION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset
information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
shown on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the
original system speed or a suitable one.

the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.
Note:
Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please make sure y our display
card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is
required f or Direct3D rendering.
5. Hardware Monitor Panel

Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be
highlighted and the Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as
the following figure.
In this panel, you can get the real-time status information of your
system. The information will be refreshed every 1 second.

P4M890-M7 SE
6. About Panel
Click the “about” button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted
and the About Panel will slide out to up as the following figure.
In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get
the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of
[WarpSpeeder™] utility.
Note :
Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere
other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™]
utility more robust.

Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Phoenix-Award™
BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to
modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM.
The power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup
inform ation when the power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very techni cal items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.
Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot
sequence (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP
operating system like Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all
the PnP cards. For non-PnP operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option
must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
Init Display First

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Choices: PCIEx (default), PCI Slot, Onboard, AGP.
32
P4M890-M7 SE
Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when
the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen,
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“ Disabled” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “ Manual” is chosen for
the resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for
add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.
33
P4M890-M7 SE
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending
on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “ Press Enter” tag,
you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system
interrupts. This is only configurable when “ Resources Controlled By” is set to
“Manual”.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very techni cal items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.
Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot
sequence (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP
operating system like Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all
the PnP cards. For non-PnP operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option
must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
Init Display First

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Choices: PCIEx (default), PCI Slot, Onboard, AGP.
32
P4M890-M7 SE
Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when
the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen,
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“ Disabled” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “ Manual” is chosen for
the resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for
add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.
33
P4M890-M7 SE
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending
on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “ Press Enter” tag,
you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system
interrupts. This is only configurable when “ Resources Controlled By” is set to
“Manual”.
PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Some old graphic controllers need to “ snoop” on the VGA palette and then map
it to their display as a way to provide boot inform ation and VGA compatibility.
This item allows such snooping to take place.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled
