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 (HDLED)
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.
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 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. 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.

1.3.3 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
parpllel 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
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. Should 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 AMD-Thunderbird
/ Duron 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 AMD-Thunderbird / Duron
processor CPU.

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

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.

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.
DMA Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each
DMA channel a type, depending on the type of device
using the DMA channel.

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.
