3.3 Other Installation for Your Reference

Setting CPU Voltage and Frequency

Setting CPU Core Voltage

This motherboard supports Voltage ID (VID) function to detect CPU voltage automatically during power-on and the range is from 0.8375V to 1.6V. It’s not necessary to set CPU core voltage.

Setting CPU Frequency

This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design; you can set CPU frequency by 1MHz stepping CPU Overclocking in the BIOS. CPU Core Frequency = CPU FSB clock x CPU Ratio. However, all CPU now sold in market belong to "Fixed Multiplier". That means users can not adjust the CPU Ratio but change CPU FSB clock to achieve overclocking only.

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup

(Users will do the overclocking at their own risks!!)

CPU Ratio 8x, 10x… 24x, 25x, 26x, 27x, 28x CPU FSB (Adjustment

manually)

Note: With CPU speed changing rapidly, there might be faster CPU on th

market by the time you received this installation guide. This table is kindly fo your references only.

FSB = 100MHz-400MHz by 1MHz Stepping CPU Overclocking

Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin so that they cannot support fan monitoring.

Warning: Intel 865PE/865G/848P chipset support maximum 800MHz (200MHz*4)

system; higher clock setting may cause seri ous system damage.

Connecting Serial ATA

To connect a serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that it is a jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial ATA ports, the one connected on Port 0(SATA 1) will be set as the first boot device automatically. Please note that it doesn’t support Hot-Plug in function.

A1 SATA2

Adjusting your Hard Disk Setting

Except its original 2 sets of parallel IDE, this motherboard supports the latest serial ATA hard disk. If you are unable to find your newly installed serial ATA hard disks on your operating system after having them installed, the problem may lie in the BIOS setting. You can simply adjust BIOS settings to have them work properly.

After installing your hard disks properly, you can directly go to BIOS setting screen for adjustment. Simply pressing “Integrated Peripherals IDE Device Æ On-Chip Serial ATA” to choose your preferable mode. If you have no intention of changing its original setting, the default would be Auto.

OnChip

If you desire to change the default setting, press Enter for selection list:

Disabled:

there are only traditional IDE hard disks had been installed on your system. Disabling this item will also cancel the detection of serial ATA hard disks during POST, which will theoretically speed up

your boot-up time a little bit; however, please remember to re-adjust the setting here if you want to use serial ATA hard disk later.

Auto:

This is factory default setting on this motherboard. Basically, if your system functions properly, it is unnecessary to change it. The system will automatically recognize the first hard disk on IDE1 as first boot device.

Note: Please be informed that when you are using Windows98/ME with the capacity of all six hard disks being installed, the Auto mode will not function properly. It is because Windows98/Me is not able to energize Enhanced Mode to detect all hard disks.

Combined Mode:

installed at the same time, then you can choose this mode. Under this mode, you can randomly choose either IDE hard disks or serial ATA had disk as your first boot device. But please note, serial ATA will exist with IDE in a mapping way, which means it will occupy one of the IDE Channel and leave you one IDE Channel only.

Enhanced Mode:

Windows.NET Server), it is highly recommended that you select Enhanced Mode. Under this mode the system will detect all six devices (traditional IDE x 4, Serial ATA x 2) completely and function perfectly. But please note that traditional IDE is set to first boot device under this mode.

Note: According to practical lab tests of us, there are no obvious problems or mistakes happened when we set this mode under Windows2000 operating system; however, it is not recommended by Intel.

If you have traditional IDE hard disks and serial ATA hard disks

If you are using the latest operating system (say, Windows XP,

You can choose this item if

SATA Only:

This mode also allows you to select booting sequence from Port0 (SerialATA1) or Port1 (SerialATA2).

You may select this mode if you install serial ATA hard disks only.

Connecting AGP 8X Expansion Slot

This motherboard provides an AGP 8X slot, a sky blue slot having the latest AGP specification on motherboard. The AGP 8X is a bus interface targeted for high-performance 3D graphic. T raditionally AGP used both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock for 4X AGP, and the data transfer rate could achieve 66MHz x 4bytes x 4 = 1056MB/s. Now AGP is moving to AGP 8X mode, which is upgraded to 66MHz x 4bytes x 8 =2.1GB/s. For i865Ga-775ILFR/IF, the AGP slot can automatically recognize an AGP or a Multiplexed Intel DVO Output depending on which cards being inserted, such as AGP , or ADD (AGP Dig ital Display) cards. With an ADD card implemented to this slot, Multiplexed Intel DVO output will provide high-speed digital connection for digital displays or TV-OUT functionality.

Warning: It is strongly rec ommended

not adjust AGP/PCI voltage/clock when you connect SATA device. It is because when the voltage/clock for AGP/PCI is adjusted, the SATA clock cannot remain at 100MHz, and the system will therefore be unstable.

Warning: It is strongly

recommended not install a 3.3V AGP card, which is not supported by Intel 865PE / 865G / 848P chipsets on this motherboard.

Connecting IrDA

The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this module and application software such as Laplink or Windows Direct Cable Connection, user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This connector supports both HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps).

Install an infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function from BIOS Setup, UART Mode, you can use this function. Please make sure you connect correct orientation when plugging IrDA module.

LED Indication

LED indication including Standby AGP LED, Boot LED and Standby LED are AOpen’s considerate designs that aim at providing you friendly system information.

AGP LED aims to protect your motherboard from being damaged by over voltage of AGP card. When AGP Protection Technology is implemented, this motherboard will automatically detect the voltage of AGP card and prevent your chipsets from being burnt out. Please note that if you install an AGP card with 3.3V, which is not supported by Intel 865G/865PE/848P chipset, the AGP LED on the motherboard will light up to warn you the possible damage of the exceeding voltage.

BOOT LED will keep blinking when you power the system on and when your system is under POST (Power-On Self Test). After POST diagnoses everything all right and finishes the booting, the LED will stay on otherwise it will remain flashing to warn you that mistakes have occurred during POST

STBY LED will light up when power is provided to the motherboard, giving you a convenient indication check the system power status in circumstances such as power on/off, stand-by mode and RAM power status during Suspend to RAM mode.

With Intel ICH5R integrated onboard, 865PEa-7ILFR supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions. For more RAID introduction, please visit our website:

http://english.aopen.com.tw/tech/techinside/RAID.htm

Arouse RAID Function in BIOS

After having properly installed your Serial ATA hard disks, you may directly get into the BIOS setting screen for adjustment. You may simply press “Integrated Peripherals Æ OnChip IDE Device Æ On-Chip Serial ATA” to choose Enhanced mode. In order to utilize Serial ATA function, please select RAID in SATA Mode. Finally, do save the changes and exit BIOS setup screen.

Warning: The Serial ATA RAID function can be supported under Windows XP and Windows .Net environments.

PBE – Performance Boost Engine

Configuring Intel 865PE/865G chipset, the performance of this motherboard had been uplifted by implementing PBE Technology (Performance Boosting Engine). Acting as similar as PAT in uplifting the system performance, PBE enables users to optimize the accessing speed and quality between CPU and Memory. Theoretically speaking, CPU must go through some standard paths to access memory. However, with an optimized path created, CPU can access memory through optimized path in a faster way. Therefore, PBE effectively shortens the distance between CPU and memory and thus increases system performance. To enable it, all you have to do is to go to BIOS screen, select Advanced Chipset Feature/Performance Boost Engine.

Note: Enabling this feature will make maximum use of your RAM modules though this is not standard specification of Intel 865PE/865G chipset. Uneven quality RAM modules in the market may not be able to withstand this kind of extreme usage and will cause your system unstable. You have to take your own risk for using this advantageous benefit.

SilentTek – Noise is Gone!

As CPU clock keeps rocketing higher and higher, it has inevitably brought higher heat and system temperature in a relative way. The way we deal with this heat problem, however, is to spare no effort to add one fan after another to protect our pampered system, expecting these fans cool down our machine as much as they can.

But at the same time, we believe that some users are affected terribly by the irritating noises of these fans while working with their PC. As a matter of fact, we do not have to get our fans running at such a high speed in most cases; on the contrary, we discovered that having your fans running at appropriate time and speed not only reduces the noise, but also consumes the least power the system needs, so as to prevent over-wasting of energy resource.

Today, AOpen Motherboard is honored to bring you a new overall solution, SilentTek, to make your system quiet. To collocate with hardware circuit, BIOS and the utility under Windows, SilentTek combines “Hardware-Status Monitoring”, “Overheat Warning” and “Fan Speed Control” in a user-friendly interface to provide you a perfect balance among noises, system performance and stability.

The first image you have here is Voltage Status page. You can find current status of all voltages here and set your expected margins of warning level.

You may check your system voltage from the indicating bar here.

In “Temp/Fan/Case” page, you can get aware of the current temperature of CPU and the heat inside chassis. Also, you can check if fans are running properly.

Of course, you can set your defaulted lowest margin for your fans and SilentTek will also pop up a message box to alarm you when the fan is rotating slower than this specified speed.

You can set the highest margin of your CPU and system temperature as default, and SilentTek will pop up a message box to alert you with an alarm when the temperature goes beyond the specified margin.

The following page is surely the most important part of this utility. You can control the rotation speed of specific fans that you have got the options inside this page.

CD-ROM Rotation Speed Control: by enabling the CD-ROM Rotation Speed Control, you can adjust the rotation speed of your CD-ROM. When you set the speed to high level, the CD-ROM will work at its fastest speed and it will run at basic required speed while you set the value to low speed.

Smart FAN Control: This is the default setting of SilentTek and can be used for any branded computer housing. With a special algorithm developed by AOpen, the fan speed is automatically adjusted by the parameters of CPU and ambient temperature which is ease-of-use and trouble free at your service.

Fixed FAN Control:

Under this setting, a desired fan speed is set fixed when

operating.

Multiple Level Controls:

This is the most versatile setting that allows you to set

fan speed in relation to temperature. You may find that this setting fits you best.

AOpen Recommend Setting:

This setting is designed specifically for AOpen housing. A series of lab tests were conducted under the real world scenario to determine optimum fan speed to reduce noise level within CPU working condition and temperature. Most of the time, the fan would remain still when CPU is not fully utilized.

Note: Due to hundreds brands of fans on market, inaccuracy may happen in some cases when you have your rotation speed adjusted. It is still under the criterion and please rest assured that it won’t cause any problem to your system.

Chapter 5 Setting BIOS

Introduction

System parameters can be modified by going into BIOS Setup menu; this menu allows you to configure the system parameters and save the configuration into the 128 bytes CMOS area (normally in the RTC chip or in the main chipset).

The Phoenix-Award BIOS™ that installed in the Flash ROM of the motherboard is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as hard disk drives, serial and parallel ports.

AOpen’s R&D engineering team had optimized most BIOS settings of this motherboard. However, some default settings of BIOS cannot fine-tune those sections that controlled by chipset. Therefore, this chapter is intended to guide you and help you to configure some other settings.

To enter BIOS setup menu, press <Del> when POST (Power-On Self Test) screen is shown on your monitor.

Note: Because BIOS code is the most often changed part on motherboard, the BIOS information contained in this manual may be different from the BIOS version that comes with your motherboard.

How To Use Phoenix-Award™ BIOS Setup Program

Generally, you can use arrow keys to highlight items that you want to choose, press <Enter> key to select, and use <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys to change setting values. You can press <Esc> key to quit Phoenix-Award™ BIOS setup program. The following table provides details about how to use keyboard in the Phoenix-Award  BIOS setup program. Alternatively, it's strongly recommended to install AOpen’s newest WinBIOS Utility to get more detailed description, further powerful functions and advanced setting of BIOS.

Key Description

Page Up or + Change setting to next value or increase the value.

Page Down or - Change setting to previous value or decrease value.

BIOS Upgrade under Windows environment

y p

With outstanding R&D ability of AOpen, we now bring you a whole new BIOS Flash wizard ---- EzWinFlash. With an eye to convenience for users, EzWinFlash combines the BIOS binary code and flash module together, so the only thing you have to do is just clicking on the utility you downloaded from web and let it help you complete the flash process automatically. EzWinFlash detects your motherboard and checks the BIOS version cleverly to prevent your system from any possible failure. Moreover, EzWinFlash has been taken into consideration to go with any windows platform you might be using, no matter if you’re using Windows 95/98, 98SE/ME, NT4.0/2000, or Windows XP.

In the meanwhile, in order to provide a much more user-friendly operating environment, AOpen EzWinFlash is natively designed to have multi-language function to provide easier way for user in changing BIOS setting.

Caution: You are taking a risk of BIOS flash

failure when you update your system. If your

motherboard is working stable, and there are no

major bugs to be fixed by a latter BIOS revision, we

recommend that you DO NOT upgrade your BIOS.

If you intent on upgrade PLEASE MAKE SURE you

get the right BIOS revision for your motherboard

model so as to avoid an

ossible failure.

Note: The model name on this BIOS picture is for reference only. It may not be the same model with your motherboard.

You may accomplish BIOS upgrade procedure with EzWinFlash according to following steps, and it’s STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to close all applications before you start the upgrades.

Download the latest version of BIOS package zip file from AOpen official web site. (Ex: http://english.aopen.com.tw/)

Unzip the downloaded BIOS package (ex: WSGMAXII102.ZIP) with WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) in Windows environment.

Save the unzipped files into a folder, for example, WSGMAXII102.EXE & WSGMAXII102.BIN.

Double click WSGMAXII102.EXE; EzWinFlash will detect the model name and BIOS version of your motherboard. If you collect wrong BIOS, you will not be allowed to proceed with the flash steps.

You may select a preferred language in main menu, then click [Start Flash] to begin the BIOS upgrade procedure.

EzWinFlash will complete all the process automatically, and a dialogue box will pop up to ask you to restart Windows. Click [YES] to reboot Windows.

Press <Del> at POST to enter BIOS setup screen; choose "Load Setup Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup”. Done!

It is strongly recommended NOT to turn off the power or run any applications during FLASH PROCESS.

Warning: The new BIOS upgrade will permanently replace your original BIOS setting when flashing. You may need to reconfigure the BIOS setting before your system goes back to work as normal.

Vivid BIOS technology

Have you been fed up with the conservative and immutable POST screen? Let’s rule out the tradition idea that POST screen are stiff and frigid, and let AOpen show you the newly developed VividBIOS to experience the lively vivid colorful POST screen!

Unlike earlier graphic POST screen which could occupy the whole screen and mask text information during POST, AOpen VividBIOS deals with graphics and texts separately, and makes them running simultaneously during POST. With this innovative design, VividBIOS now brings you a beautiful and sleek 256 colors screen without missing any important information shown on POST screen.

In addition, the limited space of BIOS ROM is another big issue. When all of the traditional BIOS can only show space-consuming and uncompressed Bitmap, AOpen has considerately tuned the BIOS to next generation, to recognize the smaller-sized GIF format and even dynamic-showing GIF animation.

Vivid BIOS shares the same fundamental technology with Open JukeBox CD Player, you may use the same EzSkin utility to change your VividBIOS screen or to download your favorite Open JukeBox skin. If you see this little logo shown beside

your model name on the motherboard download page,

http://english.aopen.com.tw/tech/ezskin/vivid.htm

that your motherboard supports this innovative feature!

, it is assured
