▶ Installing the CPU

Important

• On the upper end of the CPU socket is a socket actuator in the form of a
slotted screw head. Make sure that you open or close the socket with a
fl athead screwdriver before and after installing the CPU.

• When installing the CPU, make sure the cooler set is installed as well
and can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. For proper
CPU cooler type, please consult the dealer.

1. Turn the socket actuator counterclockwise to open the socket.

2. Place the CPU on top of the socket. Make sure that the gold arrow on

the CPU is aligned with the arrow key on the socket.

3. Push the CPU gently down until its pins securely fi t into the socket.

4. Turn the socket actuator clockwise to close the socket and secure the

CPU in place.

▶ Installing Memory Modules

1. Locate the SO-DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key on

the slot and insert the DIMM into the slot.

2. Push the DIMM gently downwards until the slot levers click and lock

the DIMM in place.

3. To uninstall the DIMM, fl ip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will

be released instantly.

Important

You can barely see the golden fi nger if the memory module is properly in-
serted in the DIMM slot.

should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware
Monitor chipset onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed
sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

Important

• Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s offi cial web-

system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to
clear the system confi guration, set the jumper to clear data.

You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return
to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will

Entering Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test)
process. When the message below appears on the screen, press <DEL>
key to enter Setup.

Press DEL to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET
button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>,
<Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

Important

The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are under
continuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the descrip­tion may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be held for

▶ Quiet Boot

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST
messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.

When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the
boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages.

When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, in­stead of the full-screen logo.

Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay
to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a
suffi cient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this
BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.

▶ Bootup NumLock State

This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on.
Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered

▶ CPU Confi guration

▶ Hyper Threading

The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transac­tion rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats
the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can
execute instructions simultaneously. In this way, the system perfor­mance is highly improved. If you disable the function, the processor will
use only one core to execute the instructions. Please disable this item if
your operating system doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and
instability may occur.

▶ Active Processor Cores

This setting specifi es the number of active processor cores.

▶ Limit CPUID Maximum

The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent
problems with older operating systems that do not support the Intel
Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled,
the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when
queried, even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value.
When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID
input value of the processor when queried.

▶ Execute Disable Bit

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of mali­cious “buffer over
system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory
by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a mali­cious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables
code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

▶ Intel Virtualization Technology

Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a plat­form to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent
partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as mul­tiple “virtual” systems.

▶ EIST

EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dy­namically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result
in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat
production.

▶ Turbo Mode

Intel Turbo Memory is a new Intel platform technology that uses non-vola­tile memory (Flash memory) to increase system responsiveness, make
multi-tasking faster, and extend battery life. This technology is poised to
eliminate many of the bottlenecks associated with HDD latency. By en­abling the majority of application workload to be written and read from
a system cache instead of the HDD, Turbo Memory will offer users sig­nifi cantly increased performance -- particularly in application load and run
time, the speed in which systems resume operation after hibernation or
boot, and in system-level power usage.
