1-2 SOFT-OFF CONTROL
¡j
The mainboard design supports Soft-Off Control feature through the SMM code
in the BIOS under Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, and MS-DOS operation system
environment. It needs to use ATX power supply. (The mainboard is built-in two kind of
for ATX or P8, P9 power supply connector, you should also set JP5 for different
power. )
Firstly, you should connect power switch cable (provided by ATX case supplier) to
the connector JP4 (¡i PS_ON ¡j next to Conn1) on the mainboard.
In Windows 95, if you would like to soft power off the system, you just choose
“shutdown the computer ?” in “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows 95, then push the
Power Switch* (on ATX case), then system will be in soft off status directly. If you
would like to restart the system, just press the button of the power switch, and the
system will be power on.
* Default value (Power management of BIOS screen) is “Instant-off‘, you can
change to ’Delay 4 Sec.‘, then you should push the Power Switch at least 4 seconds
otherwise the system will be under SMI mode only.
In Windows 3.1x or MS-DOS, you should copy the program of “down.com” (you
can find it in the diskette of IDE driver) into hard drive. When you would like to power
off the system, just run this “down.com”, then the system will be shutdown and stay in
standby status.
JP5 is used to select ATX or P8, P9 power connector

2-3 SYSTEM MEMORY INSTALLATION
ATC-5050 provides four 72-pin SIMM sockets for system memory expansion
from 8MB to 256MB. These four SIMMs are arranged to two banks, Bank0 (SIM 1, 2)
and Bank1(SIM 3, 4), please refer to page A. Each bank provides 64-bit wide data
path.
The mainboard accepts Fast Page Mode DRAM, and EDO Mode (Extended Data
Out) DRAM, with a speed no slower than 70 nanosecond. You should plug DRAM
modules into two sockets (same bank) or four sockets at one time. Each pair of
modules in the same bank must be the same size, type, and speed; no matter single-side
or double-side module. Please plug in Bank 0 firstly if you only have 2 modules. The
mainboard supports mixing of EDO and fast page mode DRAM among different banks,
please plug EDO in Bank 0.
Also this mainboard provides two 168-pin DIMM sockets for 3.3V SDRAM or
3.3V EDO DRAM expansion. You should plug SDRAM/DRAM module into each
DIMM sockets (as a bank) or two sockets at one time.
CAUTION:
It‘s not recommended to install the 3.3V SDRAM and 5V EDO or Fast
Paged mode memory within a system. The 72-pin DRAM cannot work with 168-pin
DRAM in the same time. Changing EDO/FPM DRAM to SDRAM, you don‘t have to
adjust jumper setting or BIOS value, nor change SDRAM to EDO/FPM DRAM.
Please make sure the SDRAM plugged-in fully, to prevent contact loss.)

When this item is enabled, the pre-defined
items will become SHOW-ONLY.
DRAM TimingThe DRAM speed is controlled by the DRAM
timing Registers. The timings programmed
into this register are dependent on the system design.
DRAM RAS#DRAM must continually be refreshed or it will
Precharge Timelose its data. Normally, DRAM is refreshed
entirely as the result of a single request. This
option allows you to determine the number
of CPU clocks allocated for the Row
Address Strobe to accumulate its charge
before the DRAM is refreshed. If insufficient
time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete
and data lost.
Fast RAS# toWhen DRAM is refreshed, both rows and
CAS# Delaycolumns are addressed separately. This
setup item allows you to determine the
timing of the transition from RAS to Column
Address Strobe (CAS).
DRAM ReadThis sets the timing for burst mode read (or
Burst (EDO/FP) writes)from DRAM. Burst read and write
DRAM Writerequests are generated by the CPU in four
Burst Timingseparate parts. The first part provides the
location within the DRAM where the read or
write is to take place while the remaining
three parts provide the actual data. The
lower the timing numbers, the faster the
system will address memory.
ISA Bus ClockThis item allows you to select the PCI clock
type. Choices are PCI CLK/3; PCI CLK/4
System BIOSWhen enabled, accesses to the system BIOS
41
CacheableROM addressed at F0000H-FFFFFH are
cached, provided that the cache controller
is enabled.
Video BIOS As with changing the system BIOS above,
Cacheable enabling the Video BIOS cacheable will cause
access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H
to C7FFFH to be cached, if the cache
controller is also enabled.
8-bit I/O The recovery time is the length of time,
Recovery Time measured in CPU clocks, which the system will
delay after the completion of an I/O request.
This item allows you to determine the
recovery time allowed for 8-bit I/O. Choices
are from NA, 1 to 8 CPU clocks.
16-bit I/OThis item allows you to determine the
Recovery Time recovery time allowed for 16-bit I/O.
Choices are from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.
Memory Hole AtIn order to improve performance, certain
15M-16Mspace in memory can be reserved for ISA
cards. This memory must be mapped into
the memory below 16MB.
The BIOS will auto detect if the mainboard have LM75 components or not. If there
is LM75, the screen will show these LM75 related items, and these items are
SHOWN ONLY except “ CPU Warning Temperature “ The following are LM75
related items :
‘CPU Warning Temperature’ set the temperature for CPU warning. When the CPU
temperature reaches the setting temperature, the system will lower the CPU clock
according to the Throttle Duty Cycle.
‘Current CPU Temperature’ the current temperature of the CPU

Wake Up EventsIn Doze & Standby
Power Down &These are I/O events whose occurrence can
Resume Eventsprevent the system from entering a power
saving mode or can awaken the system from
IRQ3 ~ IRQ15such a mode. In effect, the system remains
alert for anything which occurs to a device
which is configured as On, even when the
system is in a power down mode. When an
I/O device wants to gain the attention of the
operating system, it signals this by causing an
IRQ (Interrupt ReQuests) to occur. When the
operating system is ready to respond to the
request, it interrupts itself and performs the
service. When set off, activity will neither
prevent the system from going into a power
management mode nor awaken it.
