CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 B

EFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the
mainboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

 Prepare a dry and stable working environment with

sufficient lighting.

 Always disconnect the system from power outlet

before operation.

 Before you take the mainboard out from anti-static

bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely
grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to
remove the static charge.

 Avoid touching the components on mainboard or the

rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board
on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

 Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the

case after installation. Loose parts will cause short
circuits which may damage the equipment.

 Keep the system from dangerous area, such as heat

source, humid air, and water.

 Please switch on/off the machine normally. That is, DO

NOT pull out power cord directly from the mainboard
or the system may damage.

CHAPTER 3: BIOS SETUP

Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup
program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic
system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS
RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the
power is turned off.

Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output
devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the
first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some
additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning
options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS
Setup.

Plug and Play Support

This AMI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification.

EPA Green PC Support

This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC specification.

ACPI Support

AMI ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration and Power
interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management and
device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

Mini-ITX Mainboard Manual

22

PCI Bus Support

This AMI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) local bus specification.

DRAM Support

DDR2 SDRAM (Double Data Rate II Synchronous DRAM) is supported.

Supported CPUs

This AMI BIOS supports the Intel CPU.

Using Setup

When starting up the computer, press <Del>
during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter
the BIOS setup utility.

In the BIOS setup utility, you will see General
Help description at the top right corner, and this
is providing a brief description of the selected
item. Navigation Keys for that particular
menu are at the bottom ri ght corner, and you can
use these keys to select item and change the
settings.

Notice

z The default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum

performance of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after
changing any setti ngs, please load the default setti ngs to ensure system’s
compatibility and stability. Use Load Setup Default under the Exit Menu.

z For better system performance, the BIOS firmware is being continuously updated.

The BIOS information described in this manual is for your reference only.
The actual BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly different
from this manual.

z The content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not

be responsible for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system
damage that may be caused by wrong-settings.

Max CPUID Value Limit

When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID
instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must
first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This
determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system.

Troubleshooting POST BIOS Beep Codes

Number of Beeps Troubleshooting Action

1, 3 Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules.

6, 7

Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system.

Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the

motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of

interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all

expansion cards except the video adapter.

z If beep codes are generated when all other expansion

cards are absent, consult your system manufacturer’s
technical support.

z If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion

cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the
malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a
time until the problem happens again. This will reveal the
malfunctioning card.

8

If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or

reseat the

video adapter. If the video adapter is an integrated part of the

system board, the board may be faulty.

4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

Probable Solution

1. There is no power in the system.
Power LED does not shine; the
fan of the power supply does not
work

2. Indicator light on keyboard does
not shine.

1. Make sure power cable is
securely plugged in.

2. Replace cable.

3. Contact technical support.

System is inoperative. Keyboard lights
are on, power indicator lights are lit,
and hard drives are running.

Using even pressure on both ends of
the DIMM, press down firmly until the
module snaps into place.

System does not boot from a hard disk
drive, but can be booted from optical
drive.

1. Check cable running from disk to
disk controller board. Make sure
both ends are securely plugged
in; check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard
disks are capable of breaking
down at any time.

System only boots from an optical
drive. Hard disks can be read,
applications can be used, but system
fails to boot from a hard disk.

1. Back up data and applications
files.

2. Reformat the hard drive.
Re-install applications and data
using backup disks.

Screen message shows “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.

System cannot boot after user installs a
second hard drive.

1. Set master/slave jumpers
correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility
with other drives.
