sor temperature)
Refer to the System Health Monitor section in chapter 3 and the
Hardware Doctor Utility section in chapter 4 for more information.
1.1.3 Intelligence
Automatic CPU/Chassis Fan Off
The CPU and chassis fans will automatically turn off once the system
enters the Suspend mode.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By PWR-BTTN field of
the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to
enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
External Modem Ring-on
The Modem Ring-on feature allows the system that is in the
Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to
respond to incoming calls.

Note:
This feature supports external modem only.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time.
Wake-On-LAN Ready
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake
up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support
the remote wakeup function.
Important:
If you are using the (1) Suspend to RAM, (2) Wa ke-OnKeyboard/Mouse and (3) Wake-On-LAN functions all at the
same time, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must
support a minimum of ≥1A. A ≥720mA 5VSB power source is
sufficient if you are using only one or two of these functions.
Wake-On-Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse
This function allows you to use the keyboard or PS/2 mouse to
power-on the system. Refer to Jumper Settings for Wake-OnKeyboard/Wake-On-Mouse in chapter 2 and Keyboard/Mouse
Power On in the Integrated Peripherals section in chapter 3 for
more information.
Important:
The power button will not function once a keyboard
password has been set in the KB Power On Password
field of the Integrated Peripherals submenu. You must type
the correct password to power-on the system. If you forgot
the password, power-off the system and remove the
battery. Wait for a few seconds and install it back before
powering-on the system.
If you are using the (1) Suspend to RAM, (2) Wake-On-
Keyboard/Mouse and (3) Wake-On-LAN functions all at the
same time, the 5VSB power source of your power supply
must support a minimum of ≥1A. A ≥720mA 5VSB power
source is sufficient if you are using only one or two of these
functions.

AC Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to
either power-on the system manually, let the system power-on
automatically or return to the state where you left off before power
failure occurs. Refer to PWR Lost Resume State in the Power
Management Setup section in chapter 3 for more information.
Year 2000 Compliant
Supports hardware Y2K function.
Supports hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) to en-
able a new security and manageability infrastructure for PC.
ACPI
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® 98 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® 98 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. Refer to Using the Suspend to RAM
Function in appendix A for more information.
Important:
If you are using the (1) Suspend to RAM, (2) Wa ke-OnKeyboard/Mouse and (3) Wake-On-LAN functions all at the
same time, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must
support a minimum of ≥1A. A ≥720mA 5VSB power source is
sufficient if you are using only one or two of these functions.

Hardware Installation
2.2 System Memory
The system board is
equipped with two 168pin DIMM (Dual In-line
Memory Module) sockets
that support unbuffered
PC-100 SDRAM DIMM.
PC SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random
Access Memory) is a
fast memory interface
technology that uses the
clock on the chip to
synchronize with the CPU clock so that the timing of the memory
chips and the timing of the CPU are synchronized. This saves time
during transmission of data, subsequently increasing system
performance.
The onboard VGA shares 1MB of the system memory. This is fixed
regardless of the size of the system memory.
Aside from the 1MB shared memory, it also uses the Dynamic
Display Memory (DDM) technology. DDM freely changes in size
because graphics memory is allocated from the system memory
according to current needs.
Refer to chapter 1 for the type of memory supported by the
system board.
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform
the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation
only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a
metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable,
establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.

2.2.1 Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a DIMM socket on the system
board. Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.
Display Cache (CW35-E and CW35-D only)
The CW35-E and
CW35-D system
boards are each
mounted with 2
SDRAMs that serve as
4MB display cache. The
presence of the display
cache will provide
better system performance.

2.3 Jumper Settings for Clearing CMOS Data
Jumper JP2
Clear CMOS Data
If you encounter the
following,
a) CMOS data becomes
corrupted.
b) You forgot the supervisor
or user password.
c) You are unable to boot-
up the computer system
because the processors
clock/ratio was incorrectly
set in the BIOS.
you can reconfigure the system with the default values stored in the
ROM BIOS.
To load the default values stored in the ROM BIOS, please follow
the steps below.
1. Power-off the system.
2. Set JP2 pins 2 and 3 to On. Wait for a few seconds and set JP2
back to its default setting, pins 1 and 2 On.
3. Now power-on the system.
If your reason for clearing the CMOS data is due to incorrect
setting of the processors clock/ratio in the BIOS, please proceed
to step 4.
4. After powering-on the system, press <Del> to enter the BIOS
setup utility.
5. Select the CPU Frequency Control submenu and press <Enter>.
6. Set the CPU Clock/Spread Spectrum or CPU Ratio field to
its default setting or an appropriate bus clock or frequency ratio.

2.9 Ports and Connectors
2.9.1 Serial Ports
The built-in serial ports are RS-232C asynchronous communication
ports with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be used with
modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial
devices. You can set the serial ports I/O address in the Integrated
Peripherals submenu of the BIOS.
Connecting the Serial Ports
The system board is equipped
with an onboard serial port
(CN12 - Teal/Turquoise) for
COM 1 primary serial located
at the ATX double deck ports
of the board. It is also equipped
with a 9-pin connector at
location J8 for COM 2
secondary serial port.
One card-edge bracket
mounted with a serial port
cable is provided with the
system board. If you want to
use the secondary serial port,
connect the serial port cable to
connector J8. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is
aligned with pin 1 of connector J8. Mount the card-edge bracket to
the system chassis.

The system board is equipped
with an onboard PS/2 mouse
(CN1 - Green) and PS/2
keyboard (CN2 - Purple) ports
located at the ATX double deck
ports of the system board. The
PS/2 mouse port uses IRQ12. If
a mouse is not connected to
this port, the system will reserve
IRQ12 for other expansion
cards.
Warning:
Make sure to turn off
your computer prior to
connecting or disconnecting a mouse or keyboard.
Failure to do so may damage the system board.
2.9.3 Parallel Port
The system board has a standard printer port (CN4 Burgundy) located at the ATX
