CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use.
When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin
legs won’t be damaged.
Pin Cap
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 only in the
correct orientation.
Step 2-1:
10
P4M80-M7 & P4M80-M7A
Step 2-2:
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 FANHEADERS
These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan
wiring and plug may be different according to the fan manufacturer.
Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to
pin#1.

When connecting with wires onto connectors, please note that the red
wire is the positive and should be connected to pin#2, and the black
wire is Ground and should be connected to GND.

P4M80-M7 & P4M80-M7A
2.3 MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a
DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the
break on the Slot.
2. Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining
chip snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
Note:
To assure the system safety, if you need to change DDR modules, firstly,
please unplug the 20-pin power cable with the power connector, and
then you can change the modules. Afterwards, plug in the cable the
power connector again, and finally you can boot up the system.
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that
supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This
connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cables.
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that
provides PIO Mode 0~5, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/ 66/ 100
functionality. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2
(secondary).
The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can
connect up to four hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be
connected to IDE1.
This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for
Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for
expansion cards. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard
supports video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of
AGP technology for improved video efficiency and performance,
especially with 3D graphics.
The motherboard has a PCI to SATA Controller with 2 channels SATA
interface, it satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and with transfer rate of 1.5Gb/s.

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 boot-up to DOS prompt.
7. Type “Awdflash xxxx.bf/sn/py/r” in DOS prompt.
(xxxx means BIOS name.)
8. System will update BIOS automatically and restart.
9. The BIOS has been recovered and will work properly.

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. Wait for seconds.
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. Wait for seconds.
3. Power on the system again.
