Q uick Installation

Before Installation

For installation, you may need some or all of the following tools: Medium size f lat blade screwdriver Medium size Phillips head screwdriver A 3/16 inch nut driver or wrench

Users must follow these guidelines to ensure the motherboard is protected during installation.

1.Make sure your computer is powered-off whenever working in with inside components

2.The motherboard, like all other electronic equipment,

is sensitive to static. Please take the proper precautions

when handling it. If possible, ground yourself by touching a

metal table or desk. keep the board in its conductive

wrapping until it is configured and ready to be installed in your system.

3.Keep all magnets away from both your hard and floppy

disk drives, especially magnetic screwdrivers. Keep both

floppy and hard disks apart if disassembed.

4.Keep water and liquids away from your computer and its

components.

ATX Power Supply Connector

STEP Description

After all connections are made, close the system case over.

2 Be sure that all switches are off.

Connect the power cord into the power suppply located on the back of your system case.

Connect the power cord a power outlet that is equipped

with a surge protector.

Many of the power supply support 110V/220V by a switch setting. Switch your power supply to the correct supply voltage.

Turn on your system in the following order a. The monitor b. The external devices. c. The computer system.

Power on procedures

The power LED on the front panel of the chassis will light. After few seconds, the system will then run poweron tests. Some additional messages will appear on the screen during the test. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Recheck the

jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for

assistance.

BIOS Setup

Upgrade BIOS

The BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette with the Award Flash utility — AWDFLASH .EXE. The BIOS image file, and update utility are available from IWILL’s WEB site: s upport.iwil l.net

Enter BIOS setup program

Power-on the system by either pressing the P ower-On button, or

by using any of the power-on features provided by the motherboard. Then, press the <D el> key after the Power-On Self Test (P OST), and before the scanning of IDE devices. Sim ply look f or the message “P ress DEL to enter SETUP” displayed at the bottom of the screen dur ing the boot up process. If the message disappears bef ore you’ve had a chance to respond, you can restart the system byturning of f the system power then turn it on again, orP ressing the “R ESET” button on the system case, or

P ressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys sim ultaneously.

Generally, the BIOS default settings have been carefully chosen by IWILL's Engineers provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. It is very dangerous to change any setting without full understanding. We strongly recommend that you. DO NOT update BIOS if the system works perfectly. DO NOT change any setting unless you fully understand what it means.

If the system is no longer able to boot after changing the settings, the only way to recover it is to clear the data stored in R TC CMOS. To reset the R TC CMOS data, take the JP1 jum per cap off pins 1-2, place onto pins 2-3, and then place back onto pins 1-2 again. This will return the R TC to the default setting. Then, get into the BIOS setup program , choose Load Fail-Safe D efaults ; Load Optimized Defaults, and select the original manufacturer default settings in your C MOS.

This setup page is used to specify advanced features available through the chipset. The default settings have been chosen carefully for most operating conditions. DO N OT change the value of any field in this setup page without full understanding.

The f irst chipset settings deal with CP U access to dynam ic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had m ixed speed DRAM chips installed. Longer delays might result, however this preserves the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

MicroStepping

Microst epping is Iwill's another step forward to provides users a f uss free CPU frequency set up procedure. It contains two main f unctions, Auto D etecting CPU s speed and Micro Adjustable CPU FSB speed.

Auto Detecting CPU speed:

IWILL MicroStepping will auto detect the CP U's factory m ultiplier setting and C PU FSB to the f actory def ault. This function provides a "f uss free" CP U set up process for the general users.

Micr o Adjustable CPU FSB speed:

IWILL provides a user friendly overclocking function that allows users to experience the f un of overclocking. This function allows user to adjust C PU FSB by 1MHz interval. This is particularly usef ul when user wants to extract the m ost out of the purchased C PU. For example: you select f rom 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138MH z and up to the maxim um speed that the system can sustained.In the time should overclocking failed, MicroStepping will auto detects the CP U's factory m ultiplier setting and set the C PU FSB to default 66MHz, to protect the CPU installed.
