1-3 Features Highlight

1-3-1 Software Power Off Control

The mainboard design supports Software Power Off Control feature through the SMM code in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, and MS-DOS operation system environment.

First, you should connect the power switch cable to the connector “PS-ON” on the mainboard. In the BIOS screen of POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP’, choose “User Define” (or “Min. Power Saving” or “Max. Power Saving”) in ‘Power Manager’ and pick up “Yes” in ‘PM Control by APM’.

In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the sy stem, y ou just need to choose “shutdown the computer ?” in the “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows 95/98. Then the system power will be off directly, and become to the stand-by status. If you would like to restart the system, just press the power switch button, and the system will be powered on.

Note : If you are going to leave your system idle for several days, we suggest you use hardware power off to shutdown your system.

* Under Software power off control, the status of Power LED Light depends on the setting of JP5. If you set JP5 to “pin1-2” position, it is blinking. Otherwise, it is light off.

1-3-2 Fan Off Control

With fan-off function, the CPU cooling fan can turn off automatically even when the system is in suspend mode. This function is able to reduce energy consumption and system noise. Because it is a feature of advanced BIOS, you should set this option enabled through “Power Management Setup” from the BIOS setup screen.

ATC6240V Mainboard Chapter 1 Introduction

1-3-3 Running 100 MHz CPU Bus (with JP11)

The mainboard provides

Jumper 11

that allows you to set your CPU host clock and perform CPU overclock function. There are two wa ys to set CPU host clock at ‘closed’ and ‘open’. When setting ‘closed’, the system will automatically detect the CPU host clock, for instance 66MHz and 100MHz. Another way is to set

Jumper 11

at ‘open’ for

66MHz CPU overclock to 100MHz.

We recommend that users should use Intel Pentium



II/III 100 MHz CPU, running at 350, 400, 450 and 500MHz internal clock speed. Moreover, the SDRAM memory module must be 8 nano-second (Maxim um Frequency 125 MH z) speed of memory –die or less. However, based on Intel’s design, we don’t recommend users to run over 100MHz CPU host bus.

Please note that the default setting of Jumper 11 is ‘closed’.

Jumper 11 BASE CLK Closed Base clock autodetected Open To be overclocked

(a) Pin Closed (b) Pin Open

####

In view of Intel’s specific design, overclocking to 100MHz or higher is not

necessarily successful. If you want to overclock your CPU base, please set “CPU Host/PCI Clock” in “CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP” in the BIOS setup screen. After set to higher base, if the system cannot boot up , you should shut down your computer, and restart it with the ‘Insert” key pressed down to clear up the set frequency. It will then operate at the default frequency.

1-3-7 Wake-On-LAN

The remote Wake-On-LAN (WOL) mode of operation is a mechanism that uses Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power on a sleeping workstation on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power on the sleeping workstation. When LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power recondition.

The LAN card performs no netw ork activities while in the rem ote Wake-O n-LAN mode of operation. It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system.

You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is Intel and the other is with PME signal supporting. And y ou can set “Wake U p On LAN” this function enabled through “ Power Management Setup” from the BIOS setup screen.

1-3-8 Ultra DMA 66 Cable

ATC6240V Mainboard Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup

3-1-2 UPDATE MICROCODE API

Intel also provides MICROCODE API(Applications Programming Interface) for Pentium



II/III processor-based mainboard-users to update data block in BIOS quickly

and easily. (You can find this utility in the diskette or All-In-One CD in the package.)

The BIOS code on the Pentium



II/III processor-based mainboard contains data that is specific to each silicon stepping of the processor. Integrators must ensure that this BIOS stepping data matches the processor stepping used. When the BIOS does not contain stepping data that matches the processor stepping, integrators must update the data in the BIOS before shipping the system. Usually, System is updated by replacing the entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that contains the correct stepping data.

Intel‘s BIOS updating API allows just the stepping data within the BIOS to be updated as needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS updating API can be quickly and easily updated, if required, without obtaining a complete BIOS upgrade. Using this utility, integrators can easily verify that the correct stepping data is present in all mainboards. However, if the stepping data requires updating, the mainboard BIOS must contain the Intel-defined BIOS updating API, otherwise a complete BIOS upgrade is required from the mainboard vendor.

Since API program can only be executed under

DOS Real Mode

, you must

enter

Real Mode first

and load the API program to Drive C.

To load the program to C by following steps:

(1) Type “ md c:\ api ” and press Enter. Directory “api” is made in Drive C now. (2) Insert the Driver/Utility diskette or CD into Drive A or CD ROM Drive E. (3) Then type “copy a:\api\*.* c:\api” or “ copy e:\api\*.* c:\api ” and press Enter.

(API program is loaded to Drive C now.)

(4) Type “ C:\ api \checkup ” to execute this program.

The main m enu should now be displayed, showing the following four options :

1) Check and load updated

2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]

3) Help

4) Quit without loading updated

Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then select 1 to update proper patch code. Then cold boot (mechanical power off) system to continue. For more information, please refer to “CHECKUP.HLP“ file.

Halt On

This category determines whether the com puter will stop if an error is detected

during power up.

No errors The system boot will not be stopped for any error that may be detected. All errors When the BIOS detects a non-fatal error, the sy stem will be stopped and

you will be prompted. All, But Keyboard

The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error. It will stop for all

other errors. All, But Diskette

The system boot will not stop for a disk error. It will stop for all other

errors. All, But Disk/Key

The system boot will not stop for a disk or keyboard error. It will stop for

all other errors.

Memory

This category is displayed only which is determined by POST (Power On

Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K or 640K based on the memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory

How much extended me mory is present during the POST. This is

the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU‘s m e mory address map.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is mem ory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for application programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area since this is where it shadows RAM.
