CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CEN TRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remo v e Pin Cap before installation, and ma ke goo d preservation
for future use. When the CPU is removed, cov er the Pin Cap on the
empty so cket to ensure pin legs won’ t be damag ed.

P35D2-A 7
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.

4.2 AWARD BIOS BEEP CODE
Beep Sound Meanin g
One long beep followed by two short
beeps
High-low siren sound CPU overheated
One Short beep when system boot-up No error found during POST
Long beeps every other second No DRAM detected or inst all
Video card not found or video card
memory bad
System will shut down automatically
4.3 EXTRA INFORMATION
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 f o r se co nds.
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 f o r se co nds.
3. Power on the system again.

CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDE R™ III
5.1 INTRODUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™ III], 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, VGA 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™ III] 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.
