Tab”, and the DIMM memory module has

an “Asym metrical notch”, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit into the slot in

one direc t ion.

2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DIMM
memory modules into the socket at a

90-degree angle, then push down v ertically
so that it will fit into the place.

3. The Mounting Holes and plastic tabs
should fit ov er t he edge and hold t he DIMM

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots

Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 / IDE2

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra D MA / 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 functionality. I t has two

HDD connec t ors ID E1 (primary) and IDE2 (s econdary ).
The ID E connect ors can connec t a master and a slave driv e, s o you can connect

up t o f our hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be c onnected to
IDE1.

Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1

The motherboard provides a s tandard f loppy dis k c onnec tor t hat supports 360K,
720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the
prov ided f loppy driv e ribbon cables .

Commun ication Netw o rk Rise r Slot: CNR 1

The CNR specification is an open I ndust ry Standard Architecture, and it def ines a
hardware scalable riser c ard int erf ace, whic h supports m odem only.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-3

This m ot herboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots . PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interc onnect, and it is a bus st andard f or expansion cards. This PCI
slot is designated as 32 bit s.

Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1

Unlike t he m ouse ports, key board port s and printer ports, this motherboard does
not hav e built in video facilit ies; and theref ore, requires a video card for one of t he

expansion slots. Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. Tis
motherboard supports video cards for PCI, but is also equipped with an

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP
technology f or improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D
graphics.

WarpSpeeder

Introduction

[ W arpSpeeder™ ], a new powerf ul control ut ility, f eatures three user-friendly functions
including Overclock Manager, Overvolt age Manager, and H ardware Monitor.

The f ollowing three sec tions det ail the installation of Fas tTrak 376 drivers on a sy st em
that has W indows 98/Me already inst alled. If you’re ins talling the F astTrak 376 drivers on
a syst em during a Windows 98/ Me installation, s ee “Installing Driv ers D uring Windows
98/Me Inst allat ion” on page 10. W ith t he Overc lock Manager, users can eas ily adjust t he

frequency they prefer or they c an get the best C PU perf ormanc e 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 smart ly indic ates t he t emperat ures, volt age
and CPU fan s peed as well as the chips et inform ation. Als o, in t he About panel, y ou c an

get detail descriptions about BIOS model and chips ets. In addition, the f requency st atus
of C PU, mem ory, AGP and PCI along with the C PU s peed are sy nchronic ally shown on

our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not appropriate when

testing and results in system f ail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the
sy stem st ability by automat ically reboot ing the c omputer and then restart t o a s peed that

is eit her t he original sys t em s peed or a s uit able one.

26

State Afte r power failure

This field determ ines the action the system will automatically take when power is restored
to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent manual intervention.

There are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area that retains these Power-On
instruct ions; the motherboard battery (3V), the Power Supply (5VSB), and the P ower
Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplyin g power, the motherboard uses the motherboard

battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from
the Power Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the
Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.

“Former-Sts” Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC

po wer is lost.

“On” Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC

“Off” (default) Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC

For example: If set to “Former-Sts” and AC power is lost when system is live, then after
AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC power is lost when
system is not live, system will remain powered off.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configur ing the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations



PNP OS Installed

Wh en set to YES, BIO S will only initialize the PnP cards used for th e boot sequence (VGA,
IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like

Window™ 95. W hen set to N O, BIOS will initialize a ll th e P nP cards . For non-P nP
operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option must set to NO.

The Choices: No (default), Yes.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a
node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The
system n eed s to record and update ESCD to the me mor y lo cat ions. These locat ions (4 K)

25

M7VIQ BIOS Setup

are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s
ESCD will update only when the new configuration var ies from the last one. If the Enabled
option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“D isabled” mod e.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources
controlled by function.
Le gacy is the term, wh ich signifies tha t a r eso urce is assigned to t he ISA Bus an d provides

non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the P CI
Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Resource s Co ntrolled B y

By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.By
Choosin g “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.

IRQ Resources

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to

a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only
configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device

PCI / VG A Palette Snoo p

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers wh ich are not VGA compatible
take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot
informat ion and VGA compatibility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA co ntr o ller is drawn from the palett e
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graph ic controller
needs to know what is in th e palette of the VGA contro ller. To do this, the no n-VGA

graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop
data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the P CI bus and a non-VGA

26

M7VIQ BIOS Setup

graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.

In this case, the P CI VGA contro ller s hou ld not respo nd to the Write, it should only sn oop
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic
controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation,
you should disab le th is option.

Disabled (default) Disab les the function.
Enabled Enables the function.
