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 DMA / 33/ 66/ 100
functionality. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2

(secondary ).
The ID E c onnect ors can connect a mast er and a s lav e driv e, so you can

connect up to four hard dis k driv es. The first hard driv e should alway s be
connected to IDE1.

Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1

The motherboard prov ides a standard floppy disk connector that
supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This

connector supports the provided f loppy drive ribbon cables.

Communic ation Network Riser Slot: CNR1

The CNR specific ation is an open Industry St andard Arc hit ect ure, and it
def ines a hardware sc alable riser c ard int erf ac e, whic h supports audio,

network and modem only (s lave c ard only ) .

(I f th e fun ction CO DEC i s onboard , then the CNR slo t on ly sup por t
slave card. But if the H/W Audio is onboard, then the CNR slot
support only primary card . )

Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1

Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports this
motherboard does not hav e built in video fac ilities and theref ore requires
a video card f or one of the expansion slots. Your monitor will attach
direc tly to t hat v ideo c ard. This mot herboard supports video cards f or
PCI and ISA slots but is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics
Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for
improved v ideo ef f iciency and performance, es pecially with 3D graphics.

P er i p h er a l Co mpo nen t I n ter c onnec t S l o ts : PCI 1- 5

This m otherboard is equipped with 5 s tandard PCI s lots. PCI stands f or
Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard f or

expansion c ards, which has, supplanted t he older I SA bus st andard in
most ports . This PCI slot is designated as 32 bit s.

Introduction

[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerf ul control utility, features t hree user-friendly
functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware
Monitor.

With the Overc lock Manager, us ers can easily adjust the frequency t hey prefer
or t hey can get the best C PU perf ormance with jus t one click. The Ov ervoltage
Manager, on the other hand, helps t o power up C PU core volt age and Mem ory
voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, volt age
and C PU fan speed as well as the chips et inf orm ation. Als o, in t he About panel,
you can get det ail desc riptions about BIOS m odel and chipsets. In addit ion, t he
frequency st at us of C PU, mem ory, AGP and PCI along wit h the CPU speed are

synchronically s hown on our m ain panel.
Moreov er, to protect users' com puter systems if the s etting is not appropriat e

when testing and results in syst em f ail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] tec hnology
assures the sys t em stability by automatic ally rebooting the c omput er and t hen

res t art to a speed that is either t he original sys tem speed or a suitable one.

PWRON After PWR-Fail

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 Power
Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying 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

“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



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 need s to r ecor d and update ESCD to the me mory locations. Thes e locat ions (4K)
are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s
ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies 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 isab le d” mode.

23

P4TDP BIOS Setup

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources
controlled by function.
Le gac y is th e term , which s ignif ie s tha t a reso urce is as signed to the IS A Bu s an d provide s
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.

Resources Co ntrol le d 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”.

PCI / VG A Palette Snoop

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 compatib ility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA co ntro ller is draw n fro m the palette
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller

need s to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. T o do this, the non-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 PCI bus and a non-VGA

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 PCI VGA controller shou ld not respo nd t o the Wr ite, it should only snoop
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 this option.

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