This manual introduce how to set-up and upgrade this mainboard.
It's an overview of the layout and features of the mainboard, and
provides necessary information for you to change the configuration
or system environment.
This manual is divided into two sections :
PART ONE includes page A and page B about this mainboard's
layout diagram. You should refer them when you set-up and
upgrade your system hardware.
PART TWO includes three chapters as following:
Chapter 1 is an overview of the mainboard features and this
mainboard's packing contents.
Chapter 2 explains how to upgrade and change hardware
configuration including memory, CPU, and lists jumper settings
and connectors.
Chapter 3 is the user's guides of AWARD BIOS setup utility,
and Flash ROM BIOS update procedures. The menu showed in
this chapter are default setting.
Your system dealer will set up the mainboard according to your
demand of computer. It means your mainboard's current setting may
not be the same as the defaults shown in this user's manual. If you
would like to change your configuration, please ask your
dealer firstly, be sure this will not against your system warranty. Or
ask for your dealer to do it for you.

2-2 SYSTEM MEMORY INSTALLATION
ATC-1535 provides four 72-pin SIMM sockets for system
memory expansion from 4MB to 128MB. These four SIMMs are
arranged to two banks, Bank0 (SIMM 1,2) and Bank1(SIMM 3,4),
please refer to page A,B. Each bank provides 64-bit wide data path.
There are no jumper setting required for the memory expansion,
and it will be detected by BIOS automatically.
This mainboard can accept either Fast Page Mode or EDO Mode
(Extended Data Out) DRAM, with a speed at least 70 nanosecond.
You should plug DRAM modules into two sockets (same bank) or
four sockets at one time. Each pair of modules must be the same
size, type and speed; no matter single-side or double-side module.
This mainboard supports mixing of EDO SIMMs with fast page
mode DRAM SIMMs among different banks.

2-3 SRAM INSTALLATION
ATC-1535 can use standard Async. SRAM in socket (U29 to U36)
or Sync. Pineline Burst SRAM module in COAST slot. This
mainboard uses Mixed Mode (5V in and 3.3V out) SRAM. The
setting is according to the mode you choiced, and to the size you
used.
TAG SRAM is the same socket for both of SRAM types ( location
U21). Most of Pipeline Burst SRAM modules will be included a TAG
8
SRAM on board, if you purchase the module without TAG SRAM,
you should put a TAG SRAM into U21. For the standard Async.
SRAM you can use write-back or write through Level 2 SRAM.
You can use Async. SRAM or Sync. SRAM (Pipeline Burst) in a
time, there are no jumper setting and BIOS value adjustments for
changing the SRAM type. If you would like to change your SRAM
type from Sync. to Async. or from Async. to Sync., you have better
to move original SRAM out.
Following setting are only for using Async. SRAM chip.

CHAPTER 3 AWARD BIOS
SETUP
This chapter explains the system BIOS setup, and how to update
new BIOS. All BIOS screens showed on following pages are default
values, your system dealer will set up these values according to
your demand of computer.
ATC-1535 uses Flash ROM (5V or 12V) to make BIOS easier to
be updated by the floppy disk-based program. and to committe
MicroSoft Windows 95 plug & play feature.
There are two jumpers should be set for Flash ROM and BIOS.

3-1 UPDATE BIOS PROCEDURES
If the BIOS should be updated, you can get the new BIOS
diskette from your system dealer. The BIOS diskette is included 3
files they are "sst.exe", this BIOS update utility; the new version
BIOS file with a file name about its version number; and a text file,
a readme file. The update procedures are as following:
1. Boot from hard disk drive C, then change to floppy A (or B).
2. Insert the updated diskette to drive A (or B), press "sst" to run
the BIOS update utility.
3. Press new BIOS file name to install the new BIOS.
4. Follow the utility status to back up your existing system BIOS to a
file named "bios. old" file. Then the original BIOS will be saved
in diskette.
5. Press "Y" when the screen shows " Are you sure to program
(Y/N) ?" Now the BIOS updated is finished.
6. Then exit the utility and turn off the power, set JP6 to '2-3' to
clear the CMOS. After 10 seconds, set JP6 to '1-2', become the
normal status.
7. Turn the power on and test your system workable or not.
13
8. If your installation fail, re-install the new BIOS again as above
procedures. Or re-install original BIOS from the back up file
(type file name "bios. old" file ) as above procedures. Or call
your system dealer for help.
3-2 AWARD SYSTEM BIOS CONFIGURATION
SETUP
Following pages explain how to set up the system
configuration (CMOS) under the AWARD BIOS. The SETUP
program is stored in the Read-Only-Memory (ROM) on the
mainboard. To do the SETUP procedure, press the <Del> key when
the system is booting up. The following main menu will appear.
