Caution

To avoid damage to the system:  Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:  Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis

cover for installation or servicing. After installation or ser vicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:  Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.  Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by

the manufacturer.

 Dispose of used batteries according to the battery

manufacturers instructions.

Joystick or MIDI port:  Do not use any joystick or MIDI device that requires more than

10A current at 5V DC. There is a risk of fire for devices that exceed this limit.

FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to tr y to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of more +12VDC current to the processors Voltage Regulator Module (VRM).

The mainboard requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate. Your system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, use a 300 Watt (or greater) power supply.

BIOS

 Award BIOS, Windows® 98/2000/ME/XP Plug and Play

compatible  Supports SCSI sequential boot-up  Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades  Supports DMI 2.0 function  2Mbit flash memory

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The mainboard comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information about your system configuration and stores this information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the mainboard's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer systems easier.

2.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions

The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following system health conditions.

 Monitors CPU/system temperature and overheat alarm  Monitors CPU/3.3V/±5V/±12V/VBAT/5VSB voltages and failure

alarm  Monitors the fan speed of the CPU/chassis fan and failure alarm  Automatic chassis fan on/off control  Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan

speed

If you want a warning message to pop-up when an abnormal condition occurs, you must install the Hardware Monitor utility. This utility is included in the CD that came with the mainboard.

2.1.3 Intelligence

Automatic Chassis Fan Off

The chassis fan will automatically turn off once the system enters the Suspend mode.

English

Dual Function Power Button

Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By PWRBTN field of the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to enter

the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.

Wake-On-Ring

RTC Timer to Power-on the System

The RTC installed on the mainboard allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and time.

ACPI STR

The mainboard 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 Plugand-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Windows® 98/2000/ME/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® 98/2000/ME/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 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

1A.
