Precaution Before Start
Static Electricity Damage:
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard. Observing
a few basic precautions can help safeguard against damage that
could result in expensive repairs. Follow the simple measures
below to protect your equipment from static electricity damage:
1. Keep the motherboard and other system components in their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. Touch a grounded surface before you remove any system component from
its protective anti-static packaging. Unpacking and installation should be
done on a grounded, anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an antistatic wristband, grounded at the same points as the anti-static mat.
3. After removing the motherboard from its original packaging, only place it
on a grounded, anti-static surface component side up. Immediately inspect
the board for damage. Due to shifting during shipping, it is suggested that
the installer press down on the entire socket ICs to ensure they are properly
seated. Do this only with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
4. During configuration and installation touch a grounded surface frequently
to discharge any static electrical charge that may have built up in your body.
The best precaution is to wear a grounded wrist strap. When handling the
motherboard or an adapter card avoids touching its components. Handle the
motherboard and adapter cards either by the edges or by the adapter card
case-mounting bracket.
Misplaced Jumper Damage:
There are critical headers used for connectors or power sources.
These are clearly marked separately from the jumpers listed in
Motherboard Layout. Incorrectly setting jumpers and connectors
may lead to damage to your motherboard. Please pay special
attention not to connect these headers in wrong directions.

Now follow the below steps to configure your CPU settings.
Step 1: Setting CPU Host Frequency (JP5, JP6, JP7, JP8)
Before setting CPU Host Frequency, one thing must be strongly concerned that the 100
MHz CPU Host Frequency only supports the DIMMs with PC/100-compliant. Since
most systems will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the
strict timing issues involved under this speed, please be well learned that your CPU
speed and DIMM module speed indeed match for each other.

The IN530 motherboard uses AMI BIOS,
which is stored in a Flash EEPROM and
can be upgraded by a floppy disk-based
program. The BIOS has a built-in Setup
Program that allows users to modify the
basic system configuration settings. The
settings are then stored in a dedicated
battery-backed memory, called CMOS
RAM that retains the information when the
power is turned off. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for the system’s central processing, memory and I/O
subsystems. The AMI BIOS has been customized by adding important, nonstandard,
features such as virus and password protection, power management, and detailed finetuning of the chipset which controls the system. The remainder of this manual is
intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using the BIOS
Setup.
4.1 How To Enter BIOS Setup
The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The
BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of
checking the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST). When
these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seek an operation system on the data storage
devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and
hands over control of system operation to it.

Setup after. If you do want to enter BIOS Setup. You can press the “RESET” button on
the system case to reset the system or restart by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>,

4.2.2 In Case of Problems
If after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer
no longer is able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings
that resets your system to its default configuration.
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular,
do
not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. Your system
manufacturer for the best performance and reliability has carefully chosen the Chipset
defaults. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to
become unstable.

The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information
about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types,
such as SCSI drives.
NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of
almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS
detects its specifications during POST, every time the system boots.
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type
are available:
1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the
preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 46.
2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.
3. Select CD-ROM to install CD-ROM to this drive.
4. Select Floptical to install ATAPI Floptical drive.

4. BIOS SETUP4. BIOS SETUP
5. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup.
Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:
• IDE Device Configuration: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive
types. Each defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of
heads, write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors. Drives
whose specifications do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as
type USER.
• Cylinders: Number of cylinders
• Heads: Number of heads
• Write Precompensation: Write precompensation cylinder
• Sectors: Number of sectors
• Maximum Capacity Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size
is usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a diskchecking program.
• LBA Mode (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the IDE
controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder
number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates.
For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.
• Block Mode: Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or
multiple sector read/write. If your IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new
drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block
read/writes per sector the drive can support. The Choice: Yes, No.
• Fast Programmed I/O Modes: The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output)
fields let you set a PIO mode (0-5) for each of the four IDE devices that the
onboard IDE interface support. The choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Auto.
• 32 Bit Transfer Mode: This item only act when the chipset support this
function.
4.4.5 Boot Sector Virus Protection
This will enable a warning message if a virus attempts to write to the boot sector or
the partition table of the hard disk drive. Keep in mind that this feature not only
protects the boot sector, but the entire hard drive.

should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs. This pool is determined by
reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the user can
use these options to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA setting to it. Onboard I/O is

configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP. The
choices: PCI/PnP, ISA.
Memory Hole
You can reserve an area (15M-16M) of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When
this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need
to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements.
Shadow
Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called
firmware. The AMI BIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS,
video BIOS, and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion
peripherals, such as, for example, a SCSI adapter.
Shadowing copies firmware from ROM into system RAM, where the CPU can read it
through the 16-bit or 32-bit DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed must be read by the
system through the 8-bit X-bus. Shadowing improves the performance of the system
BIOS and similar ROM firmware for expansion peripherals, but it also reduces the
amount of high memory (640 KB to 1 MB) available for loading device drivers, etc.
Enable shadowing into each section of memory separately. Many system designers
hardwire shadowing of the system BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option.
Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF. The remaining areas shown on
the BIOS Features Setup screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware. If
an expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to
know the address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM.
