CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNI T (CPU)

Special Notice:

Remo v e Pin Cap before installa tion, and m ake goo d preservation
for future use. When the CPU is remo ved, cov er the Pin Cap on the
empty so cket to ensure pin legs won’ t be da mag ed.

Pin-Cap

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise

the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

7

Motherboard Manual

Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on

CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will
fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 2-1:

Step 2-2:

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked

position to complete the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

2.2 FAN HEADERS

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan
cable and connector may be different according to the fan manufacturer.

Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to

One long beep followed by two short
beeps

High-low siren sound CPU overheat ed

One Short beep when system boot-up No error found during POST

Long beeps every other second No DRAM detected or install

Video card not found or v ideo card

System will shut down automatically

4.3 EXTRA INFORMATION

A. BIOS Update

After you fail to update BIOS or BIOS i s invaded by virus, the
Boot-Block function will help to restore BIOS. If the following message

is shown after boot-up the system, it means the BIOS contents are
corrupted.

In this Case, please follow the procedure below to restore the BIOS:

1. Make a bootable floppy disk.

2. Download the Flash Utility “AWDFLASH.exe” from the Biostar
website: www.biostar.com.tw

3. Confirm motherboard model and download the respectively BIOS
from Biostar website.

4. Copy “AWDFLASH.exe” and respectively BIOS into floppy disk.

5. Insert the bootable disk into floppy drive and press Enter.

6. Syste m will boot-up to DOS prompt.

7. Type “Awdflash xxxx.bf/ sn/py/ r” in DOS prompt.
(xxxx means BIOS name.)

8. Syste m will update BIOS automatically and restart.

9. The BIOS has been recovered and will wo rk p roperly.

B. CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for
seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown
automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not

power on again.

In this case, please double check:

1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.

2. CPU fan is rotated normally.

3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU
0protection function.

1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2 . Wa i t fo r second s.

3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

Or you can:

1. Clear the CMOS data.

(See “Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1” section)

2 . Wa i t fo r second s.

3. Po we r on th e syste m ag ai n.

4.4 TROUBLESHOOTING

Probable Solution

1. No power to the system at all
Power light don’t illuminate, fan
inside power supply does not turn

on.

2. Indicator light on key board does
not turn on.

System inoperativ e. Keyboard lights
are on, power indicator lights are lit,

and hard driv e is spinning.

System does not boot from hard disk
driv e, can be booted f rom optical driv e.

System only boots f rom optical drive.
Hard disk can be read and applic ations
can be used but booting from hard dis k

is impossible.

Screen mess age says “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

Cannot boot system after installing
second hard driv e.

1. Make sure power cable is
securely plugged in.

2. Replace cable.

3. Contact tec hnical support.

Using even pressure on both ends of
the DIMM, press down firmly until the

module snaps into place.

1. Check cable running from disk to
disk cont roller board. Mak e sure

both ends are securely plugged
in; c h ec k t h e driv e ty p e in t he
standard CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely import ant. All hard

disks are capable of breaking
down at any time.

1. Back up data and applications
files.

2. Ref ormat the hard driv e.
Re-install applic ations and data

using backup disks.

Review system’s equipment. Make s ur
correct inf ormation is in setup.

1. Set master/slave jumpers
correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select
correct driv e types. C all the drive

manufact urers for compatibility
with other drives.

CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™

5.1 INTRODUCTION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage

Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they

prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core

voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset

information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,

memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
shown on our main panel.

Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,

[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the

original system speed or a suitable one.

5.2 SYS TEM REQUIREMENT

OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system

includes DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install
DirectX 8.1.)
