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

Power LED Lead (PW_LED)

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

Speaker Connector (SPEAKER)

An offboard speaker can be installed onto the motherboard as a
manufacturing option. An offboard speaker can be connected to
the motherboard at the front pannel connector. 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.

S3_LED Lead (S3_LED)

The system S3_LED lights when the system suspend is on the
S3 modle.

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 (EXTSMI)

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 2­pin 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. SMI is activated when it detects a short. It
may require one or two pushes depending on the position of
the switch. Wake-up can be controlled by settings in the
BIOS but the keyboard will always allow wake-up (the SMI
Suspend Switch Lead cannot wake-up the system). 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.

1.3.2 Floppy Disk Connector (FDD)
This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon

cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect
the two plugs on the other end to the floppy drives.

1.3.3 Hard Disk Connectors (IDE1/IDE2)

These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon
cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect
the two plugs at the other end to your hard disk.
If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second
drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper settings. BIOS now
supports SCSI device or IDE CD-ROM boot up (see "HDD
Sequence SCSI/IDE First" & "Boot Sequence" in the BIOS
Features Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE) (Pin 20 is removed
to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using
ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged) .

1.5 Serial and Parallel Interface Ports

This system comes equipped with two serial ports and one

parallel port. Both types of interface ports will be explained

in this chapter.

The Serial Interfaces: 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 wish to transfer

the contents of your hard disk to another system it can be

accomplished by using each machine’s serial port.

COM1/COM2

COM2

1

The serial port on this system has one 9-pin connector.

Some older computer systems and peripherals used to be

equipped with only a 25-pin connector. If you need to

connect your 9-pin serial port to an older 25-pin serial port,

you can purchase a 9-to-25 pin adapter.

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(see
the picture below).

2. BIOS Setup

Introduction

This manual discussed 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

processors input/output system. 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.

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.

PCI Bus Support

This AWARD BIOS also supports Version 2.1 of the Intel

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)local bus

specification.

Support CPU

This AWARD BIOS supports the Intel P4 CPU processor.

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.

When set to On(default), any event occurring at Primary
INTR will awaken a system which has been powered
down.
The following is a list of IRQ, Interrupt ReQuests, which
can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports
above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention
of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ
to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond
to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
As above, the choices are On and Off. Off is the default.
When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from
going into a power management mode nor awaken it.

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 uses when communicating with its own special

components. This section covers some very technical items

and it is strongly recommended that only experienced uses

should make any changes to the default settings.

PNP OS Installed

When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards
used for booting (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards
will be initialized by the PnP operating system like
Windows 95. When set to No, BIOS will initialize all the
PnP cards. Therefore for non-PnP operating systems
(DOS, Netware), this option must be set to No.

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.
