3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally , an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If the motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.
The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.

3.8.2 Internal Connectors
WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.
IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables such that the red stripe matches
Pin 1 on the connector . Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives.
1) Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2)
These connectors support UltraDMA/33 IDE hard disks. Use IDE ribbon cables to connect the master and slave devices to these connectors. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly . Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device bootup (see 4.6. Boot Menu).
NOTE: Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the UltraDMA cable connector . This prevents incorrect orientation when you connect the cables.
TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.

SCSI Connection Notes
This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra160 SCSI connectors; one for each of the two channels.
The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced multimode I/O cell that supports both single-ended (SE), Ultra2, and Ultra160 devices. With Ultra160 devices, the SCSI bus platform performs at full Ultra160 speeds (up to 160MB/sec) and extended cabling 12m (or 25m in a point-to-point configuration). When an SE device is attached, the bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable length.
IMPORTANT: Connect SCSI devices as shown. Each channel should have only one type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide). Mixing SCSI devices on the same channel decreases performance of the slower device.

4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS
4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System
It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later . AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. To determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file.
1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created. NOTE: AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS
prompt within Windows and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a floppy disk.
3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.
NOTE: BIOS setup must specify “Floppy as the first item in the boot sequence.
4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.
IMPORTANT! If the word “unknown appears after Flash Memory:, the
memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

4.2 BIOS Setup Program
This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that you can update using the provided utility described in 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS.
The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to Run Setup. This section describes how to configure your system using this utility.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you may want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM.
The EEPROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup utility . If you are a little bit late in pressing the mentioned key, POST will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to call Setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the Reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail.
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key after the computer has run through its POST.

I. LSI SCSI Driver Installation
LSI Logic and Microsoft together provided miniport drivers, “SYM_HI.SYS” (for SYM53C896) and “LSI_U3.SYS” (for SYM53C1010). The SCSI chipset used on
your motherboard will depend on the model you purchased. The following sections describe how to prepare and install the SCSI drivers. Since W indows NT 4.0 do not have drivers for such new SCSI controllers, the user must load the driver manually prior to Windows NT 4.0 installation.
A. Preparing a LSI Driver Diskette
The drivers are located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:
\SDMS\DRIVERS\WINNT\XXXXX\I386\WINNT\MINIPORT
where XXXXX represents the specific Windows NT subdirectory. For example, the SYM_HI.SYS driver is located in the WINNTHI subdirectory. Copy the I386 and MINIPORT subdirectories to the root directory of a clean floppy diskette. Use this driver diskette during W indows NT installation. (-or -) Use the self-extracting image files for Windows NT drivers.
The SYM_HI.SYS executable driver is located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:
\SDMS\DISKIMAG\NT_HI
The LSI_U3.SYS executable driver is located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:
\SDMS\DISKIMAG\NT_U3
B. New System Installation
This procedure installs the SYM_HI.SYS or LSI_U3.SYS driver onto a Windows NT system. Use this procedure when installing Windows NT onto an unused SCSI drive. W indows NT automatically adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directory . There are two method to install the W indows NT system. One is installed by booting from NT CD Disc; the other is by booting from NT three installation floppy diskettes.
