1.4 CPU Installation
CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 462
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/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. Please lock the fan on CPU very carefully,
or you will damage the resistor array even
circuit line on the mainboard.
Notch
1.5 DDR SDRAM Installation
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.
184-pin DDR Module

1.6.1.3 Serial Interface Port: COM1/COM2
The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS232 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 computer systems together . If you like to transfer
the contents of your hard disk to another system, it can be
accomplished with serial port.
COM1/2: Serial
Connector
1.6.1.4 Parallel Interface Port
Unlike serial ports, parallel interface ports have been
standardized. Sometimes called a Centronics port, the parallel
port is almost exclusively used with printers. The parallel port
on your system is a 25-pin, DB 25 connector.
1.6.1.5 Audio Port Connectors
Speaker out is a connector for Speakers or Headphones. Linein is used for external CD player, Tape player, or other audio
devices. Mic is a connector for the microphones.
1.6.1.6 LAN Connector: RJ45
One RJ45 connector is on Back Panel for networking connection
and also provides support for Wake On LAN function.

1.6.2 A TX Main Power Connectors: A TXPWR
This connector supports the power button on-board. Using
the ATX power supply, functions such as Modem Ring WakeUp 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.

1.6.3 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.
1.6.4 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/IDE2
These connectors are provided with IDE hard disk ribbon
cable into the package . After connecting the end of cable
with single connector to the mainboard, connect the other
two connectors 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).

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
(Chapter 4 will only be presented in CD version .)
4.1. BIOS Support
This chapter discusses the Award BIOS Setup program
built in the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows the user
to modify the basic system configuration. The modification
is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it can retain the
setup information after the power is turned off. The Award
BIOS installed in your computer system ROM (Read Only
Memory)is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS.
The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports. This
chapter is intended for guiding you through the process of
configuring your system BIOS.
Plug and Play Support
This AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A
specification. ESCD(Extended System Configuration Data)
write is also supported.
EP A Gr een 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.

Page 30
Chapter 4 BIOS Setup 7KT400ANL/7KT600NL
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
DDR (Double Data Rate) are supported.

This section allows you to configure the system based
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 be altered. The default settings are set up to provide
the best operating conditions for your system. The time you
might need to make any changes would be if you discover
that data is lost while using your system.

4.8. PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuration of 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 the components on board. This section covers some very technical
items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup 7KT400ANL/7KT600NL
Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so the system needs
to record which resource is assigned and proceeds to get rid of
resource conflict. Every peripheral device has a node, which is
called ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data. This node
records which resources are assigned to it. If Disabled (Default)
is chosen, the system 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
reset to the “Disabled” mode.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” , 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 no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflict exists.
X IRQ Resources :

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 provideboot information
and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller
is drawn from the palette table inside the VGAcontroller 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 graphi controller
can then snoop the data on the ISA bus.Unless you have the
above situation, you should disable this option.
