1-2 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. This is Intel ATX form factor feature and you should use ATX power
supply.
In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the system, you 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.

1-3 Running 100 MHz CPU Bus (JP11)
The mainboard provides Jumper 11 that allows you to set your CPU host clock and
perform CPU overclock function. There are two ways to set CPU host clock at ‘close’
and ‘open’. When setting ‘close’, the system will automatically detect the CPU host
clock, for instance 66MHz and 100MHz. Another way is to set Jumper 11 at ‘open’
and the system can be operated with a higher frequency than the nominal one on CPU.
We recommend that users should use Intel PentiumII/III 100 MHz CPU, running at
350, 400, 450,500MHz MHz internal clock speed. Moreover, the SDRAM memory
module must be 8 nano-second (Maximum Frequency 125 MHz) 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

Open 100 MHz
(a) Pin Closed (b) Pin Open
If you want to run over 100MHz CPU host bus, such as 112 or 124MHz,
please turn to “CPU Clock Frequency” in “CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP”
of the BIOS setup screen, and reset the clock frequency. If the system can’t
boot up with clock frequency that you set to, you can clear the set frequency
by pressing the ‘Insert” key on keyboard. After restarting the system, you
have the system operating at the default frequency.

The default Power On function is “Button Only”. That means, we can only turn our
computer on and off by pressing the “Power Button”. If we want to enable KB & PS/2
Mouse Power On function, we first have to set JP9 to Pin 1-2 closed, and then go to
“Power On Function” in “Integrated Peripherals” of Award BIOS Setup. At the line
“Power On Function”, we can press “Page Up” or Page Down” to make the following
selections:
1. Password(via Keyboard):
When user selects “Password”, it will show “Enter Password:”. After user has typed
the password, screen will show “ Confirm Password:” and user has to type the same
password to confirm it. Save selection and shut down system. Now computer will
only be powered on by entering correct password.
In case the set password is forgotten, carry out “Clear CMOS” (Page 15) to clear
password, or computer can not be powered on.
2. Hot Key (via Keyboard):
When user selects this option, screen will show another line : “Hot Key Power ON :
Ctrl-F1”. User can select from “Ctrl-F1” to “Ctrl-F12” as Hot Key by pressing
PageUp / PageDown. After fixing Hot Key, save selection and shut down system.
Now computer will only be powered on by pressing the correct Hot Key.
3. Mouse Left, Mouse Right (via PS/2 Mouse):
This function is available via PS/2 mouse only. User can select either “Mouse Left”
or “Mouse Right” from the “Power On Function” line. After picking either option,
save selection and shut down system. Now computer will only be powered on by
double-clicking the correct PS/2 Mouse button.

1-5 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 enable the system 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. ( An ATX power
supply is needed to achieve this function.)
1-6 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN 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 network activities while in the remote Wake-OnLAN 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 you can set “Wake Up On
LAN” this function enabled through “ Power Management Setup” from the BIOS
setup screen.

1-7 Modem Ring On
With Modem Ring On function, the computer can wake up remotely through the
connected modem. This function enables users to access their computer data from
anywhere in the world. But users have to set “Resume by Ring” with ‘enabled’ in
“Power Management Setup” from the BIOS setup screen. ( An ATX power supply is
needed to achieve this function.)
1-8 Thermister
(optional)
This means that user can monitor the CPU temperature through thermister.
When setting up the thermister (refer to Appendix B), the BIOS will load the CPU
temperature automatically. There is a choice of the warning beep sound if the user set
the option on. If the CPU temperature overheated, the user will get the notice. This
time you should shut down computer and check your devices. Or you can connect
with you dealer.
Therefore, monitoring the CPU temperature is the thermister’s job.
Note: If you would like to enable the function of hardware monitor, to set up
thermister beforehand is necessary.

1-9 LDCM
（LANDesk Client Manager）(optional)
The mainboard built-in controller support Intel LDCM. LDCM can satisfy users
who want manageable systems that can interact automatically with the user. Client
manager is the answer, enabling both administrators and clients to manage systems.
The features of LDCM are as following :
※
View system inventory
Client Manager enables you to view hundreds of inventoried items. Some of these
items are software related, while many others are hardware related.
※
View DMI-compliant component information
Client manager enables you to view component information that is compliant with the
Desktop Manager Interface （ DMI ） . This means you can manage third-party
DMI-compliant components which do not include Client manager.
※
Back up and restore system configuration files.
Client Manager enables you back up and restore system configuration files. Whenever
you plan on changing the system configuration , you can make a backup set. If the
system no longer works correctly, after you the change the system configuration ,
you can simply restore the system configuration with the backup set.
※
Troubleshoot
Since Client manager enables you to view the system inventory, you can easily
troubleshoot system problems.
※
Receive notifications for system events
Client manager enables you to receive notification of certain system events. For
example, if the system is running low on virtual memory, you are notified of the
potential problem.
※
Transfer files to and from client workstations
As an administrator, you have the ability to transfer files to and from client
workstation. This is helpful, for example, when you need to update a client
workstation driver.
※
Remotely reboot client workstations
Administrator also have the ability to remotely reboot a workstation. This is helpful
when you want your system configuration changes to take effect.

CHAPTER 3 AWARD BIOS SETUP
Award BIOS manufacturer provides access to the system BIOS through the hardware
and software on each mainboard. The hardware consists of a Flash ROM and the
software is a group of programs that are installed in the ROMBIOS along with all the
other data that should be included into the BIOS.
The mainboard requires special driver supplied by the manufacturer to update the
BIOS SETUP program. It is advisable to read the following pages in detail for
updating BIOS driver installation, or you should ask your system dealer to do it for
you.
When the driver has been successfully updated, it is very important to change the
CMOS settings for your computer. The CMOS settings are shown in the following
pages.
NOTE : In case CMOS should be cleared, unplug the power cord, set Jumper 8 2-3
closed for at least 5 seconds, put it back to 1-2 position and plug the power cord
again.

3-1 UPDATE BIOS PROCEDURE
If the BIOS needs to be updated, you can get a CD with the updated BIOS utility in
the package. The updated BIOS utility includes :
“awdflash.exe” -- BIOS update utility program
“awdflash.doc”
The update procedure is as following:
1. Boot the system to DOS mode in a normal manner.
2. Insert the updated CD to drive D (or E).
3. Change working directory to CD-ROM drive, D or E, which contains the update
BIOS CD. -- Type “d:\flash\” or “e:\flash\”, “ENTER”.
4. Type “awdflash”, then press “ENTER”-- for running the BIOS update utility.
5. Type “(update BIOS file name with version number).bin”, ENTER.
6. If you do not want to save the old BIOS, type “N” when the screen displays the
message : " Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N) ?".
7. Type “Y“ when the screen shows the message : " Are you sure to program
(Y/N) ?".
8. Follow instructions displayed on the screen. DO NOT remove the update BIOS
CD from the CD-ROM drive nor turn the system power off until the BIOS update
is completed.
9. Turn the power off. Clear the data in CMOS according to the procedure described
in the previous page.
10. Turn the system power on and test that your system is working properly.
16
3-1-1 UPDATE MICROCODE API
Intel also provides MICROCODE API(Applications Programming Interface) for
the mainboard user to update data block in BIOS quickly and easily. (You can find
this utility in the All-In-One CD in the mainboard package).
The BIOS code on the the mainboards contains data that is specific to each silicon
stepping of the processor. Integrators must ensure that this BIOS stepping data
matches the used processor stepping. 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. Historically, systems have been updated by replacing the
entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that contains the correct stepping data.
Intel‘s BIOS update API allows just the stepping data within the BIOS to be
updated as needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS
update 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 mainboards. However, if the stepping data requires
to be updated, the mainboard BIOS must contain the Intel-defined BIOS update API,
otherwise a complete BIOS upgrade is required from the mainboard vendor.
Put the All-In-One CD into your CD-ROM drive, e.g. drive D, and then type
D:\>”ENTER”, and type \api\checkup.
The main menu should now be displayed with the following four options :
1) Check and load update
2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]
3) Help
4) Quit without loading update
Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then select
1 to update proper patch code. Now, the screen will show the message “please remove
the CD from CD-ROM drive”. Then cold boot (mechanical power off) system to
continue. For more information, please refer to “CHECKUP.HLP“ file.

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 memory is present during the POST. This
is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU‘s memory address map.
Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address
space. This is memory 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.

Virus Warning When this item is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor the boot
sector and partition table of the hard disk drive for any attempt at modification. If an
attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and the following error message will
appear.
Afterwards, if necessary, you will be able to run an antivirus program to locate and
remove the problem before any damage is done.
! WARNING !
Disk boot sector is to be modified
Type ‘Y’ to accept write or ‘N’ to abort write
Award Software, Inc.
Enabled Activates automatically when the system boots up. If anything attempts
to access the boot sector or hard disk, partition table will cause a
warning message to appear.
22
Disabled No warning message will appear when anything attempts to access the
boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector table can
cause the above warning message. If you will be running such a program, we
recommend that you first disable Virus Protection beforehand.
CPU L1 Cache, L2 Cache These two categories speed up memory access. However,
it depends on CPU/chipset design. The default value is ‘enabled‘.
CPU L 2 Cache ECC Checking When this item is enabled, it means the system
supports Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) memory which can guard against data
corruption.
Quick Power On Self Test This category speeds up Power On Self Test after you
power up the computer. If you set Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some checked
items during POST.
Boot Sequence This category determines which drive to search first for the Disk
Operating System (i.e., DOS). The system will search those drives in order, Ex.: C,
CDROM, A: System will first search for hard disk drive then CDROM drive, and the
last is floppy disk drive.
Note: C is primary master; D is primary slave; E is secondary master, F is secondary
slave.
Swap Floppy Drive This item allows you to determine whether to enable the swap
floppy drive or not. The choice : Enabled/ Disabled
Boot Up Floppy Seek During POST, the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk
drive installed is 40 tracks (360K) or 80 tracks (720K, 1.2M, 1.44M)
Enabled BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or 80 tracks

Gate A20 Option This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The
gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. Initially, the gate A20 was
handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this support,
it is more common and much faster for the system chipset to provide support for gate
23
A20. Normal is keyboard; Fast is chipset.
Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or
just to Setup.
System The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied if the correct

DRAM Data Integrity Mode Select parity, ECC, or Disabled, depending on the type
of DRAM installed in your system. The choice : ECC, Parity, Disabled
System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows the caching of the system BIOS
ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
26
Video BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows the caching of the video BIOS
ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
Video RAM Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows the caching of the video RAM,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this
memory area, a system error may result.
8 Bit I/O Recovery Time The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU
clocks, which the system will be delayed after the completion of an I/O request. This
delay takes place because the CPU is operating so much faster than the input/output
bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O. 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/O Recovery Time This item allows you to determine the recovery time
allowed for 16-bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M In order to improve performance, certain space in
memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the
memory below 16MB.
Passive Release When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive
release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access to local
DRAM. The choice : Enabled, disabled.
Delayed Transaction This chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to
support deadly transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1. The choice : Enabled, disabled space
AGP Aperture Size (MB) Select the size of the AGP aperture. The aperture is a
portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address
space. Host cycle that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any
translation. See www.agpforum.org for AGP information. The choice 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
128, 256.
EDO Auto Configuration The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to
dynamic 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 mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays
may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.
27
EDO DRAM Speed Selection The DRAM speed is controlled by the DRAM
timing Registers. The timings programmed into this register are dependent on the
system design. Slower rates may be required in certain system designs to support
loose layouts or slower memory. i.e. 50ns; 60ns
EDO CASx# MA Wait State This item allows you to select EDO CASx# MA Wait
State. The choice : 1, 2
EDO RASx# Wait State This sets the relative delay between the row and column
address strobes from DRAM (EDO). The choice : 1, 2

LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS When your mainboard has problems and needs to trouble
shoot the system, you can use this function. The default values loaded only affect the
BIOS Features Setup, Chipset Features Setup, Power Management Setup and
PNP/PCI Configuration Setup. There is no effect on the Standard CMOS Setup. To
use this function, select it from main menu and press <Enter>. A line will appear on
the screen asking if you want to load the BIOS default values. Press <Yes> and
<Enter> then the BIOS default values will be loaded.
LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS This allows you to load optimal settings which are
stored in the BIOS ROM. The default values loaded only affect the BIOS Features
Setup, Chipset Features Setup, Power Management Setup and PNP/PCI
Configuration Setup. There is no effect on the Standard CMOS Setup. To use this
function, select it from main menu and press <Enter>. A line will appear on the
screen asking if you want to load the Setup default values. Press <Yes> and <Enter>
then the Setup default values will be loaded.
SUPERVISOR PASSWORD / USER PASSWORD This allows you to set the
password. The mainboard defaults with password disabled. If you set both supervisor
and user passwords, only the supervisor password allows you to enter the BIOS
SETUP program.
Enter/Change password : Enter the current password. And at the prompt, key-in
your new password (up to eight alphanumeric characters), then press <Enter>. At the
next prompt, confirm the new password by typing it again and press <Enter>.
Disable password : Press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password when
the ‘Enter Password’ dialog box appears. A message will appear for confirming that
the password is disabled.
CAUTION: If you forgot your password, you must disable the CMOS by
turning the power off and setting JP 8 to ‘2-3‘, then ‘1-2’ to reload the system.
IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION This allows you to detect the IDE hard disk
driver’s parameters and enter them into ‘Standard CMOS Setup’ automatically. If the
auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones that should be used for
your hard drive, do not accept them. Press <N> to reject the values and enter the
correct ones manually on the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
SAVE & EXIT SETUP This allows you to save the new setting values in the
CMOS memory and continue with the booting process. Select what you want to do,
press <Enter>.
EXIT WITHOUT SAVING This allows you to exit the BIOS setup utility without
recording any new values or changing old ones.
