Desktop Management Interface (DMI) The system board comes with DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The
DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information about your system configuration and stores these information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer systems easier.
Onboard I/O
• Two NS16C550A-compatible serial ports
• One SPP/ECP/EPP parallel port
One floppy drive interface supports up to 2.88MB floppy drives.
• One PS/2 mouse port
• One PS/2 or AT keyboard port
• One 12-pin standard AT power supply connector
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

Introduction
BIOS
• Award BIOS, Windows 95 Plug and Play compatible
• Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades Power Supply Connector The system board is equipped with an AT power supply connector
for connecting an AT power supply.
1.1.2 Technology
SDRAM Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is a
DRAM 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.
Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE The system board supports Synchronous Ultra DMA mode that
provides data transfer rate at 33MB/sec, which is double the data transfer rate of Enhanced IDE or ATA-2. This enables the CPU to operate more efficiently when handling simultaneous events.

1.1.3 Intelligence
RTC Timer to Power On the System The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically wake up on the set day and time. Set the day and time you would like your system to power on in the “Resume By Alarm” field (Power Management Setup) of the Award BIOS.

Virus Protection Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives. The system
board is designed to protect the boot sector and partition table of your 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. Refer to the “Virus Warning” field in the BIOS Features Setup section of this manual (Chapter 3).

2.2 Installation Steps
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your 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.
The following outlines the basic installation steps prior to installing the system board into the chassis.
2.2.1 Install the System Memory
2.2.2 Install the Processor
2.2.3 Set the Jumpers on the System Board
2.2.4 Install the Expansion Cards

2.2.5 Connect the Ribbon Cables and Wires of the Ports and Connectors
2.2.6 Install the System Board
2.2.1 Installing System Memory
The system board supports two kinds of memory modules: DIMM and SIMM. DIMM, which sometimes uses SDRAM, performs better than SIMM, which uses DRAM. When you are purchasing DIMMs, please specify you want the Intel compatible type. (There are DIMMs made for other types of computers that are not compatible.)
Note:
DIM and SIM modules cannot exist on the system board at the same time. Use either SIMM or DIMM only.

1. Pull the “tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the “notches” in the
module aligned with the “keys” on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.
Key
2.2.1.2 SIMM
The SIMM sockets are divided into two banks on the system board, Bank 0 and Bank 1. Each bank consists of 2 SIMM sockets.
The system board supports 8MB to 256MB of memory using 1MBx32, 2MBx32, 4MBx32, 8MBx32 or 16MBx32 72-pin SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Module). You will need 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending on the amount of memory you intend to install. Make sure you insert the same type of SIMMs in one bank. You can install SIMMs in either banks but you must populate one bank first before going to the next bank.

2.2.2 Installing a Processor
The system board is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket The ZIF socket is designed for easy removal of an old processor and easy insertion of an upgrade processor. If you need to apply excessive force to insert the processor, you are not installing the processor correctly.
1. To raise the handle of the ZIF socket, push it down, slightly pull it out to the side, then raise it as far as it will go. It may be necessary to initially apply a small amount of sideways force to free the handle from its retaining “tab”. Once clear of the “tab”, the handle will open relatively easily. The top plate will slide back.
2. Insert the processor until the pins are in their corresponding holes. Make sure pin 1 of the processor is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. To prevent improper processor installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying mechanism. Several holes in the socket are plugged so that the processor will go in only one way.
3. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top plate will slide forward.

Warning:
The processor must be kept cool by using a fan with heatsink. Otherwise, the processor will overheat and damage the processor and the system board.

2.2.2.1 Jumper Settings of the Processors
A processor’s internal clock speed is the actual internal operating clock of the processor. Its frequency ratio differs from one processor to another. An Intel processor will multiply the external bus clock by the frequency ratio to become the internal clock speed. Internal clock speed is the commonly known speed of Intel processors in the market and is the actual operating clock of the processor (external bus clock x frequency ratio = internal clock speed). Cyrix and AMD processors use the PR-rating system which is the overall processor performance rating.
The voltage of the processors are divided into Single voltage and Dual voltage processors. Single voltage processors include Intel Pentium, Cyrix 6x86 and AMD K5 processors. Dual voltage processors include Intel Pentium processors with MMX technology, Cyrix 6x86L and 6x86MX, and AMD K6 processors. Make sure all jumpers are set correctly before applying power or you may damage the processor or system board. Use a needle-nosed plier to move the jumpers if necessary.
The table below shows the External System Bus Clock of the processors supported by the system board and their corresponding PCI Clock and ISA Bus Clock.
