Special Notice:
Remo v e Pin Cap before installatio n, and ma ke goo d preservation for
future use. When the CPU is remo v ed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty
socket to ensure pin legs won’ t be damaged.

Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 2: Look for the black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on CPU
should point wards this black cut edge. The CPU will fit onl y in the
correct orientation.

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete
the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU FAN
power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.
2.2 FAN HEADERS
These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan
wiring and plug may be different according to the fan manufacturer.

Long beeps every other second N o DRAM detected or install
4.2 EXTRA INFORMATION
A. BIOS Update
After you fail to update BIOS or BIOS is 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.
Video card not found or v ideo card
memory bad
System will shut down automat ically
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. System will boo-up to DOS prompt.
7. Type “Awdflash xxxx.bf/sn/p y/ r” in DOS prompt.
8. System will update B IOS automatically and restart.
9. T he BIOS has been recovered and will wo rk properl y.
17
I915P-A 7 PCI-ED
I91PL-A7 PCI-ED
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 protection
function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2 . Wa i t fo r se c o nd 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 se c o nd s.
3. Powe r on the syste m agai n.

CHAPTER 5: W ARPSPEEDER™
5.1 INTRO DUCTION
[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.
