The P4X4-ALH Mainboard

CPU Clock
This field allows a timing combination for the CPU to be selected. There is a
large range of possible combinations (+/- 1MHz to 132MHz). If Default is se-
lected the BIOS will use the clock values for the CPU card.
Managing The PC BIOS
3.11.1. Load Fail-Safe Defaults
This option loads troubleshooting default values which are permanently stored
on the BIOS ROM Chip. If you made changes to the BIOS settings and your
system has become unstable, you can change it back to the default settings. If
you have made many changes to the BIOS settings and you are not sure
which setting is causing the problem then you should choose this option. This
will load the minimal performance settings and stabilize your system.
3.11.2. Load Optimized Defaults
There is CMOS memory on the mainboard that can be used to store the sys-
tem settings. If you don't know how to use the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility
to select the settings, you may use this field to load the optimized defaults
which are defined in the system BIOS. Our engineer recommends the Opti-
mized Defaults. If this option is selected it will give a series of parameters
that will ensure the reliability and performance of your PC.
If you lose your CMOS data or you don’t know how to complete the setup pro-
cedure, you may use this option to load the Optimized default values from the
BIOS default table.
If the CMOS data is corrupted, or if you selected some CMOS settings and find
that the PC system becomes very unstable, you should try to load the opti-
mized default values first and then re-configure the BIOS.
