Note: Keep the CB-6971 in the original packaging until you start
installation.
1.5 Precautions
Please make sure you properly ground yourself before handling the CB-6971
control board or other system components. Electrostatic discharge can be
easily damage the CB-6971 control board.
AEWIN Technologies Co., Ltd Aug, 2006

User’ s Manual
Do not remove the anti-static packing until you are ready to install the CB-6971
control board.
Ground yourself before removing any system component from it protective
anti-static packaging. To ground yourself, grasp the expansion slot covers or
other unpainted parts of the computer chassis.
Handle the CB-6971 control board by its edges and avoid touching the
components on it.
The ROM chip of your CB-6971 board is configured with a customized Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS) from Phoenix-Award BIOS. The BIOS is a set of
permanently recorded program routines that give the system its fundamental
operational characteristics. It also tests the computer and determines how
the computer reacts to instructions that are part of programs.
The BIOS is made up of code and programs that provide the device-level
control for the major I/O devices in the system. It contains a set of routines
(called POST, for Power-On Self Test) that check out the system w hen you turn
it on. The BIOS also includes CMOS Setup program, so no disk-based setup
program is required CMOS RAM stores information for:
z Date and time
z Memory capacity of the main board
z Type of display adapter installed
z Number and type of disk drives
The CMOS memory is maintained by battery installed on the CB-6971 board.
By using the battery, all memory in CMOS can be retained when the system
power switch is turned off. The system BIOS also supports easy way to
reload the CMOS data when you replace the battery of the battery power lose.
3.1 Quick Setup
In most cases, you can quickly configure the system by choosing the following
main menu options:
1. Choose “Load Optimized Defaults” from the main menu. This loads the
setup default values from the BIOS Features Setup and Chipset Features
Setup screens.
2. Choose “Standard COS Features” from the main menu. This option lets
you configure the date and time, hard disk type, floppy disk drive type,
primary display and more.
3. In the main menu, press F10 (“Save & Exit Setup”) to save your changes
and reboot the system.

3.2 Entering the CMOS Setup Program
Use the CMOS Setup program to modify the system parameters to reflect the
options installed in your system and to customize your system. For example,
you should run the Setup program after you:
z Received an error code at startup
z Install another disk drive
z Use your system after not having used it for a long time
z Find the original setup missing
z Replace the battery
z Change to a different type of CPU
z Run the Phoenix-Award Flash program to update the system BIOS
Run the CMOS Setup program after you turn on the system. On-screen
instructions explain how to use the program.
Enter the CMOS Setup program’s main menu as follows:
1. Turn on or reboot the system. After the BIOS performs a series of
diagnostic checks, the following message appears:
“Press DEL to enter SETUP”
