1.5 CPU Installtion

The motherboard operates with Socket 478 for Intel P4

TM

processor. The CPU should always has a Heat Sink and cooling fan
attached to prevent overheating.

CPU Installation Procedures: Socket 478

1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket then raise

the lever to a 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for the white dot or

cut edge in the CPU. Match Pin 1 with the white dot or

cut edge then insert the CPU.

3. Press the lever down to complete the installation.

4. Make sure the spec of the cooling fan is good enough.

5. Make sure that the cooling fan and retention mechanism

assembly perfectly fits the heatsink and module

base, otherwise you can’t snap the hooks into the holes.

1.6 DDR SDRAM Installtion

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

DDR memory module.

DDR SDRAM 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.

1.7.1.3 Serial Interface Ports: COM1/COM2

The serial interface port is sometimes refered to as an
RS-232 port or an asynchronous communication port. Mice,
printers, modems and other peripheral devices can be
connected to a serial port. The serial port can also be used
to connect your computer system. If you like to transfer
the contents of your hard disk to another system, it can be
accomplished by serial port.

COM1/COM2

1.7.1.4 Parallel Interface Port

Unlike serial ports, parallel interface ports have been
standardized and should not present any difficulty interfacing
peripherals to your system. Sometimes called a Centronics
port, the parallel port is almost exclusively used with printers.
The parallel port on your system has a 25-pin, DB 25
connector.

1.7.1.5 Joystick / Midi Connector

You can connect a joystick or game pad to this connector.

1.7.1.6 Audio Port Connectors

Speaker out is a connector for Speakers or Headphones. Line
in is used for external CD player, Tape player, or other audio
devices. Mic is a connector for the microphones.

1.7.2 ATX Power Connectors: CN11/CN12/CN13/CN14

¡´ This connector supports the power button on-board.
Using the ATX power supply, functions such as Modem
Ring Wake-Up and Soft Power Off are supported on this
motherboard . This power connector supports instant
power-on functionality, which means that the system will
boot up instantly when the power connector is inserted on
the board.

¡´ ATX 4-pin power connector only support +12V voltage.

ATX Power Switch (PW_BN)

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.

Reset Switch Lead (RESET)

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.

Support CPU

This AWARD BIOS supports the Intel P4 Processor.

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press
<Enter>to select, use the <PgUp>and <PgDn>keys to
change entries, press<F1>for help and press <Esc>to quit.
The following table provides more detail about how to

navigate in the Setup program by using the keyboard.

Note:

(BIOS version 1.0 is for reference only. If there is a

change in BIOS version, please use the actual

version on the BIOS.)

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.

IRQ14 assigned to: PCI PnP
IRQ15 assigned to: PCI PnP

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if
“Manual” is chosen for the resources controlled by
function.

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.
