Features
The Watchdog Timer function allows your
application to regularly “clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate.
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology
whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the con­ventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre­fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
The graphics flexibility of the built-in Intel GMA3100 delivers exceptional 3D graphics performance. It
supports analog CRT and TV-out interfaces.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video in-
terface technology made to maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics subsystem to the display.
The onboard Realtek ALC885/889 is a High Definition audio codec and the 6
audio jacks at the rear I/O panel pro­vides 8-channel audio output for advanced 7.1-channel super sur­round sound audio system. ALC885/889 also supports S/PDIF out­put, allowing digital connections with DVD systems or other audio/ video multimedia.

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that
transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out­puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
The JMicron JMB368 chip supports up to two UltraDMA 100Mbps IDE devices.
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant
with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to 3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. The BL630-DR board allows configuring RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5 on Serial ATA drives connected to SATA ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The two Realtek PCI Express Gigabit LAN con­trollers suppor t up to 1Gbps data transmission.
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connec-
tor for wireless connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specifi­cation supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com­puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
The x1 PCI Express lane supports transfer
rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per sec­ond. The PCI Express architecture also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI Ex­press lane to provide 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.

This feature allows the system that is in the
Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external mo­dem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup­port ≥720mA.
This feature allows the network to remotely
wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup­port ≥720mA.
This function allows you to use the PS/2 key-
board or PS/2 mouse to power-on the sys­tem.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup­port ≥720mA.
This function allows you to use a USB key­board or USB mouse to wake up a system
from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.
Important:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power sup­ply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support
2A.

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date
and time.
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) speci­fication. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to imple­ment Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Win­dows
®®
®®
®
2000/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows
®®
®®
®
2000/XP without having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the system is capable of stor­ing all programs and data files during the entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The oper­ating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup­port ≥720mA.
When power returns after an AC power fail­ure, you may choose to either power-on the system manually or let the system power-on
automatically.

Hardware Installation
Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
Use only certified fan and heat sink.
The fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and heat sink assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one in this section, please follow the installation guide in the package.
1. Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the CPU or fan heat sink assembly. Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will dis­perse evenly.
Do not apply the paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch
of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.
11. Push the lever down to lock the socket. The lever should hook
onto the side tab to indicate that the CPU is completely se­cured in the socket.

Virus Warning
This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive. When this field is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive. If an attempt is made to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive, the BIOS will halt the system and an error message will appear.
After seeing the error message, if necessar y, you will be able to run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any damage is done.
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector table will cause the warning message to appear. If you are running such a program, we recommend that you first disable this field.

Quick Power On Self Test
This field speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the system. When Enabled, the BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.
First Boot Device, Second Boot Device, Third Boot Device and Boot Other Device
Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the “First Boot Device” “Second Boot Device” and “Third Boot Device” fields re­spectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the sequence of the drive selected. Set “Boot Other Device” to Enabled if you wish to boot from another device.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
When enabled, the BIOS will check whether the floppy disk drive in­stalled is 40 or 80 tracks. Note that the BIOS cannot distinguish be­tween 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M drive types as they are all 80 tracks. When disabled, the BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the drive installed is 360KB.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad. By default, the system boots up with NumLock on wherein the function of the numeric keypad is the number keys. When set to Off, the function of the numeric keypad is the arrow keys.
Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbyte. Initially, gate A20 was handled via the keyboard controller. Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more common, and much faster, for the sys­tem chipset to provide support for gate A20.

Typematic Rate Setting
Disabled Continually holding down a key on your keyboard will
cause the BIOS to report that the key is down.
Enabled The BIOS will not only report that the key is down,
but will first wait for a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin to repor t that the key has been depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the ar­row keys. You can then select the typematic rate and typematic delay in the “Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)” and “Typematic Delay (Msec)” fields below.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
This field allows you to select the rate at which the keys are acceler­ated.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
This field allows you to select the delay between when the key was first depressed and when the acceleration begins.

The onboard hardware monitor function is capable of detecting “system health” conditions but if you want a warning message to pop-up or a warning alarm to sound when an abnormal condition occurs, you must install the Hardware Monitor for Windows utility. This utility is included in the CD that came with the system board. Refer to the Hardware Monitor for Windows section in chapter 4 for more information.
