1.6 DDR DRAM Installtion

The motherboard supports a maximized 2GB memory. It provides
two 184-pin unbuffered DDR sockets. It supports 64MB to 1GB

DDR memory module.

DDR DRAM Installation Procedures:

1. The DDR socket has a “Plastic Safety Tab” and the DDR
memory module has an asymmetrical notch”, so the
DDR memory module can only fit into the slot in one
direction.

2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DDR memory modules
into the socket at a 90-degree angle then push down
vertically to fit onto place.

3. The Mounting Holes and plastic tabs should fit over the
edge and hold the DDR memory modules in place.

ATX Power Switch (PW_BT)

The system power is controlled by a momentary switch
connected to this lead. Pushing the button once will switch
the system ON.

Power LED Lead (PW_LED)

The system power LED lights when the system power is on.

Speaker Connector (SPEAKER)

The speaker (onboard or offboard) provides error beep code
information during the Power Self-Test when the computer
cannot use the video interface. The speaker is not connected to
the audio subsystem and does not receive output from the audio
subsystem.

Hard Drive LED Connector (HD_LED)

This connector supplies power to the cabinet IDE activity LED.
Read and write activity by devices connected to the Primary or
Secondary IDE connectors will cause the LED to light up.

Keyboard Lock (KBLOCK)

The header is for setting keyboard locked.

Reset Switch Lead (RESET)

The connector can be connected to a momentary SPST type
switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the
motherboard resets and runs the POST.

SMI Suspend Switch Lead (SUS_LED) (Disabled)

This allows the user to manually place the system into a suspend
mode of Green mode. System activity will be instantly decreased
to save electricity and expand the life of certain components
when the system is not in use. This 2-pin connector (see the
figure) connects to the case-mounted suspend switch. If you do
not have a switch for the connector, you may use the "Turbo
Switch” instead since it does not have a function. If you want to
use this connector, the "Suspend Switch" in the Power
Management Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE section should be
on the default setting of Enable.

Introduction

This chapter discusses the Award Setup program built into
the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows the user to modify
the basic system configuration. This special information is
then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the setup
information when the power is turned off.
The Award BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM
(Read Only Memory)is a custom version of an industry
standard BIOS. This means that it supports Intel P4
Processor. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for
standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel
ports.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the
process of configuring your system using Setup.

Plug and Play Support

This AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version

1.0A specification. ESCD(Extended System Configuration
Data)write is supported.

EPA Green PC Support

This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green
PC specification.

PCI Bus Support

This AWARD BIOS also supports Version 2.1 of the Intel
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)local bus
specification.

APM Support

This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the
Advanced Power Management(APM) specification.Power
management features are implemented via the System
Management Interrupt(SMI). Sleep and Suspend power
management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk
drives and video monitors can be managed by this AWARD
BIOS.

DRAM Support

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) are supported.

2.4 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 external cache. It also coordinates

communications of 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 lost while using your system.

2.7 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 when communicating with its own special

components. This section covers some very technical items

and it is strongly recommended that only experienced uses

make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so the system
needs to record which resource is assigned and proceeds
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 (4K) are reserved at the system BIOS. If
Disabled (Default) is chosen, the system’s ESCD will
update only when the new configuration varies from the
last one. If Enabled 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 for non-PnP ISA
add-on cards. PCI/ISA PnP signifies 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” (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.

IRQ Resources

When resources are controlled manually, assign each
system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device
using the interrupt.

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers
which are not VGA compatible take the output from a VGA
controller and map it to their display as a way to provide
boot information and VGA compatibility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA
controller is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA
controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic
controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA
controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller
watches for the write access to the VGA palette and
registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, the Write
Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the
PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.

In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to
the Write, it should only snoop the data and permit the
access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA
graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus.
Unless you have the above situation, you should disable
this option.
Disabled (default) Function Disabled.

Enabled Function Enabled.
