Packing List
Before you begin installing your card, please make sure that the
following materials have been shipped:
4 M2.5 Screw
1 DVD-ROM for manual (in PDF format) and
drivers
1 COM-BT
If any of these items should be missing or damaged, please
contact your distributor or sales representative immediately.
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

2.3 List of Switch and Connectors
There is a switch on the board that allows you to configure your
system to suit your application. The table below shows the function
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration stored in the
CMOS memory and BIOS NVRAM. If system configuration is not
found or system configuration data error is detected, system will
load optimized default and re-boot with this default system
configuration automatically.
There are four situations in which you will need to setup system
configuration:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The system configuration is reset by Clear-CMOS jumper
4. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.
The COM-BT CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup
for data retention. However, you will need to replace the complete

unit when it finally runs down.
3.2 AMI BIOS Setup
AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is
stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM and BIOS NVRAM so that it
retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
Entering Setup
Power on the computer and press <Del>or <F2> immediately. This
will allow you to enter Setup.
Main
Set the date, use tab to switch between date elements.
Advanced
Enable disable boot option for legacy network devices.
Chipset
Host bridge parameters.
Boot
Enables/disable quiet boot option.
Security
Set setup administrator password.
Save & Exit
Exit system setup after saving the changes.

Change User/Supervisor Password
You can install a Supervisor password, and if you install a supervisor
password, you can then install a user password. A user password does
not provide access to many of the features in the Setup utility.
If you highlight these items and press Enter, a dialog box appears which
lets you enter a password. You can enter no more than six letters or
numbers. Press Enter after you have typed in the password. A second
dialog box asks you to retype the password for confirmation. Press Enter
after you have retyped it correctly. The password is required at boot time,
or when the user enters the Setup utility.
Removing the Password
Highlight this item and type in the current password. At the next dialog
box press Enter to disable password protection.
