Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
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.
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/ 133 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.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI 1-5
This motherboard is equipped with 5 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.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
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.
Note: In order to power-on keyboard and mouse function, “JKBV1” jumper
cap should be placed on pin 2-3.

Watchdog Technology
It is important to know that when overclocking, the system can be at a vulnerable state.
Therefore, the BIOSTAR Watchdog Technology was designed to protect your PC under
dangerous over-clock situations. Any over-clocking that reaches the threshold settings,
the Watchdog Technology will disable your system from rebooting in the BIOS setting.
Under this cir cumstance, please power off your PC. After that, press <Insert> and pow er
on your system simultaneously to restart your system. This user-friendly design can
save you from squan deri ng y our tim e on ope ni ng the cas e just to clear the CM OS. In the
end, thanks to the Watchdog Technology, everything is back at a safe and sound!

StudioFun!
Introduction
StudioFun! is a media-player based on optimized GNU/Linux distribution. It plays DVD,
VCD, MP3, Audio CD and various other known file formats. You can take snapshots of
video and customize the saved images as screensavers. You can also store the images
on USB mass storage devices like flash disks and USB floppy disks.
Hardware Requirement s
The supported hardware list of StudioFun! grows up every day. So please check the
hwreq.txt located in the root of StudioFun! Installation CD to get the most updated
information.
Installation Procedure
Insert the StudioFun! Installation CD in a CD/DVD ROM drive and let the system boot
through the CD. The disk will boot and bring up the grub boot loader installation menu.
Two options are specified.
24
Installation
This option will do the basic installation of the distribution. The installation works on
pre-installed windows or GNU/Linux distribution.
On selecting the ’i nsta ll ation’ option the instal ler boots and di spl ay s a di alo g box indi cati ng
the space required and waits for a confirmation. Selecting Ok will continue the installation
while selecting Cancel will terminate the installation and reboot the machine.
If Windows or GNU/Linux is the only OS installed on the hard disk with no free space, it
will resize the partition, either NTFS or FAT32 or ext2, and install StudioFun!. In case the
hard disk has a 128MB of free space available, the installation will use the free space.
After installing the base system you will be prompted to select the resolution from the
following choices
1. 1024x768 (recommended)
2. 800x600
3. 640x480
Select the desired resolution. The default is 1024x768 for high- end graphics.
Next you will be prompted to choose the DVD area/region selection code. Choose this
based on the type of DVDs you will be playing.
The installation procedure will then probe for the type of mouse installed. The distribution
currently supports PS/2, USB and Serial mice. In case of serial mouse you will have to
move the mouse when prompted. The other two are probed and installed automatically.
The installation procedure will now finish, the CD is ejected and a dialog box prompting to
reboot the machine is displayed. Press OK button and enjoy StudioFun!.
3.1.1 Error Messages
1. Media corrupted!! Please check the media! The CD-ROM is corrupted.
2. Extraction of base sy stem failed!! Please try again later!! The CD-ROM is corrupted.
3. Unsupported hardware found, Aborting... If you try to install StudioFun! on an
unsupported and undocumented hardware the above error message is popped.
4. No device found! This error message is given if there is no hard disk in the system.
25
Recovery
In case of a MBR corruption, this option should be used. It will automatically probe the
hard disk master boot record and find out the installed operating system(s). On success it
will re-install the boot loader with correct options in the MBR. Any custom boot loader
option specified from other GNU/Linux installations will get over written by the newly
probed one.
Booting to StudioFun!
After Installation is over, remove the CD from the CD-ROM and restart the machine. After
the machine reboots, you will get the GRUB boot loader menu screen. Select the
StudioFun option to boot to the StudioFun! partition.
26
After complete boot up, you get to the main Desktop screen. The following section is
a complete description of the Desktop application.
Desktop
This is the main shell of the StudioFun software. It basically comprises of two categories,
one is the main "media control" part and the other is the "control panel".
Media control
The media control part of the Desktop has the following controls:
1. VCD
This control will glow whenever a VCD is detected in a DVD/CD-ROM drive. The VCD will
be auto-played onl y wh en i t is put i n to the dr ive when th e D eskto p (St udi oFun ! sh el l ) i s up
and running, otherwise, the control will simply glow to inform the user about a VCD
27
present in the DVD/CD-ROM drive.
2. DVD
This control will glow whenever a DVD is detected in a DVD drive. The DVD will be
auto-played only when it is put in to the drive when the Desktop (StudioFun! shell) is up
and running, otherwise, the control will simply glow to inform the user about a DVD
present in the DVD/CD-ROM.
3. MP3
This control will glow whenever a MP3 is detected in a DVD/CD-ROM drive. The MP3 will
be auto-played onl y wh en i t is put in to the drive when the De skto p (StudioFun! shel l) is up
and running, otherwise, the control will simply glow to inform the user about a MP3
present in the DVD/CD-ROM drive.
4. AUDIO
This control will glow when ever a AUDIO is d etect ed in a DVD/ CD-ROM dri ve. The AUDIO
will be auto-played only when it is put in to the drive when the Desktop (StudioFun! shell)
is up and running, otherwise, the control will simply glow to inform the user about a AUDIO
present in the DVD/CD-ROM drive.
5. FILE
This control will glow whenever a File CD (CDs with other media type files) is de tected in a
DVD/CD-ROM drive. The File CD will be auto-played only when it is put in to the drive
when the Desktop (StudioFun! shell) is up and running, otherwise, the control will simply
glow to inform the user about a Fil e CD present in the DVD/CD- ROM drive.
6. EJECT MEDIA
