Hardware Setup

If your motherboard has already been installed in your computer you may still need

to refer to this chapter if you plan to upgrade your system's hardware.

This mother

board is electrostatic sensitive. Do not touch without
wearing proper safety gadget and make sure to disconnect the
power cable from the power source before performing any work on

your motherboard. Not doing so may result in electrical shock!

2-1 Installing a CPU Processor in Socket A

The Socket A, designed for AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP processors, has been
incorporated as a standard motherboard specification. To insert your CPU into Socket A
please do the following:

1.

Locate a cut edge on the top surface of the CPU, which is close to one of the

CPU corners. The same corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch
in the CPU's corner. These markings indicate Pin 1 on the CPU.

2.

Pull up the lever of Socket A so that it is perpendicular with the surface of the

motherboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket
A, which is located close to the end of the lever. Allow the weight of the CPU
to push itself into place. Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result
in damaging your CPU. Snap the lever back into place.

Installing an AMD®

approved heat sink with cooling fan is

necessary for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Failing to

install these items may result in overheating a

nd possible burnout of

your CPU.

Notes: In order to boot up with a newly installed CPU, AC Power must be switched

off before installation.

2-2 Setting Your CPU’s Performance

Frequency Configuration:

This motherboard uses a new user-friendly technology that enables the user to setup a
main board’s CPU parameters through an easy to use BIOS setup procedure. It is no

Chapter 2

longer necessary to make many jumper settings as on conventional motherboard.
After installing all your hardware into your PC system, you can manually configure
your CPU clock according to your processor’s specifications. By turning on your
system’s power. Enable the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the delete key when your
BIOS identification screen appears, then go to the Frequency/ Voltage control option
and select your CPU clock speed (please refer to Chapter3 for more details).

You do not need to make voltage settings because this board will

automatically set your CPU voltage.

2-5 Connector and Jumper Settings

Connectors are used to link the system board with other parts of the system, including
the power supply, the keyboard, and the various controllers on the front panel of the
system case.

The power supply connector is the last connection to be made while installing a
motherboard. Before connecting the power supply, please make sure it is not
connected to the power source.

Note

: All cables are security-proof.

PW1 (ATX Power Supply Connector)

The power cord leading from the system's power supply to the external power source
must be the very last part connected when assembling a system. The ATX power
supply provides a single 20-pin connector interface, which incorporates standard +/-5V,
+/-12V, optional 3.3V and soft-power signals. The soft-power signal, a 5V trickle
supply is continuously supplied when AC power is available. When the system is in the
Soft-Off mode, this trickle supply maintains the system in its minimum power state.

Power-On By Modem

While in Soft-Off state, if an external modem ring-up signal occurs, the system wakes
up and can be remotely accessed. You may enable this function in BIOS's Power
Management Setup menu. (See section

3.5

)

Blinking LED in Suspend Mode

While in Suspend mode, the LED light on the front panel of your computer will flash.
Suspend mode is entered by pressing the Override Power Button

, pushing the Green
button on your ATX case, or enabling the Power Management and Suspend Mode
options in BIOS's Power Management menu. (See section 3.5)

Poly-fuse Over Current Protection

The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages that the system might be
exposed to via the keyboard or USB connector. In case of such exposure, the poly-fuse
will immediately be disconnected from the circuit, just like a normal fuse. After being
disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its normal state.
Then the keyboard or USB connector can function properly again. Unlike conventional
fuses, the poly-fuse does not have to be replaced, relieving the user wasted time and
inconvenience.

CN1A (Front Panel Connector) A through F

A. PWR-SW (Over-ride Power Button Connector)

The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a normal power switch as well
as a device to activate Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This mode is
used for saving electricity when the computer is not in use for long periods of time.
The Soft-OFF by PWR-BTN function in BIOS's Power Management Setup menu
must be set to [

Delay 4 Sec

.] to activate this function.

When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTN function is enabled, pushing the power button
rapidly will switch the system to Suspend mode. Any occurrence of external
activities such as pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse will bring the
system back to Full-On. Pushing the button while in Full-On mode for more than [

4

seconds] will switch the system completely off. See Over-ride Power Button

Operation diagram.

B. P-LED (Power LED Connector)

The power indicator LED shows the system's power status. It is important to pay
attention to the correct cables and pin orientation (i.e., not to reverse the order of these
two connectors.)

C. G-BTN/G-LED (Green Button Switch/LED Connector)

Some ATX cases provide a Green button switch, which is used to put the system in
Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, the power supply to the system is reduced to a
trickle, the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core is in its minimum power state.
The system is woken up whenever the keyboard or mouse is touched. The system
resumes in different ways as defined by Power Management Setup screen in BIOS.

D. RESET (System Reset Switch Connector)

This connector should be connected to the reset switch on the front panel of the
system case. The reset switch allows you to restart the system without turning the
power off.

E. SPEAKER (Speaker Connector)

AGP & P2P Bridge Control

1. AGP Aperture Size
This function determines the amount of system memory that is given to the AGP card.

Options range from 4MB to 256MB. This is a dynamic memory allotment in that the
AGP card will only use the amount of memory that it needs. The remaining memory
not in use will be available for the system to use. For example, if 16MB is allotted to
the AGP card and the card only needs 8MB, the remaining 8MB will be available for
system use.

2. AGP Driving Control/Va lue
The [Manual] setting allows you to manually select the AGP driving value. However,
it is recommended that you keep the default setting [Auto] to allow the system to
automatically determine the appropriate AGP driving value.

16MB for ISA expansion cards. However, enabling this function will result in not
allowing the system to have access to memory above 16MB. Please note that some
expansion cards require this setting to be enabled. The default setting is Disabled. If

Chapter 3

25

Auto Configuration is enabled, you must set the DRAM timing function to 60ns or 70ns,
depending on the type of DRAM you install.

System BIOS Cacheable

Enabling this function allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory
area, a system error may result. It is advised to leave this setting. Caching the system
BIOS results in better performance than shadowing the system BIOS.

Video RAM Cacheable

Enabling this function will allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in better system
performance. However, if any programs write to this memory area, a system error may
occur.

Flash BIOS Protection

The motherboard manufacturer developed BIOS protection technology that protects the
System BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or computer viruses.

Chapter 3

28

ACPI Suspend Type

This feature allows user to select a suspend type for the operating system to turn off
peripherals devices, such as CD-ROM players, when they are not in use.

Power Management Option

Power management allows the computer to save electricity when it is not in use by
entering increasingly deep power saving modes.

HDD Power Down

Shuts down any IDE hard disk drives in the system after a period of inactivity as set in
this user configurable field. This feature does not affect SCSI hard drives.

Suspend Mode

The Power Management function must not be set to disabled to enable this function. If
the system runs in Standby mode and the Suspend timer expires, all devices regulated
by power management will shut off and the CPU speed will be 0 MHz.

Video Off Option

This setting allows you to select the power-saving modes during which the monitor goes
blank.

Video Off Method

This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors. See the next
function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer.

1. Blank Screen - BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity saved in
this mode is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver to prevent
screen damage while the screen is on but not in use.

2. V/H SYNC+Blank - The system turns off the vertical and horizontal synchronization
ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's electron gun turns off. This
function requires a monitor with Green features in order to take advantage of the
power saving function. If you enable this function and do not have a Green monitor,
the result will be the same as if you had selected Blank. This function serves as both
a screen saver and a power saver.

3.

DPMS Support

- Select this option if your video card supports the Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a monitor that supports
Green features). Use software supplied by your video subsystem to set video power
management options.

Modem Use IRQ

If your computer has a modem use this function to tell BIOS which IRQ is being
occupied by the modem card. When the system is in Green mode, the modem requires
an IRQ assignment to wake up the system and perform tasks. This assignment is
complaint with the APM 1.2 complaint operating systems.

Soft-Off by PWRBTN

When set to Delay 4 Sec., this function allows the power button to put the system in
Suspend, a power saving mode. When set to Instant-Off the Soft-Off by PWR-BTN
function is disabled and the computer turns completely off when the power button is
pressed.

5. PowerOn by PCI Card
When enabled, a PCI interface that receives a signal will wake up the system from soft
off and green mode.

6. PowerOn by Modem/LAN
When enabled, a LAN/modem that receives a signal will wake up the system from soft
off and green mode. You should connect the modem to the COM port and turn on the
resume event in green mode.

7. PowerOn by Alarm
When enabled, this setting allows the system to turn back on at a designated time of
the month. User must designate date of month and time of day. This function is only
available when using an ATX power supply and the Software Power-Off function to
turn off the computer. See the Software Power-Off feature in Section 2-3 of this
manual for instructions.

IRQs Activities Monitoring

This feature allows you to monitor a list of IRQ, Interrupt ReQuests. When an I/O
device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an
IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts
itself and performs the service.
