Introducing the Motherboard

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the A960M-MV motherboard. This motherboard is a high performance, enhanced function motherboard that supports socket AM3/AM3+ for AMD FXTM/PhenomTM II/AthlonTM II/SempronTM 100 series processors for high-end business or personal desktop markets.

The motherboard is based on AMD 760G (RS780L) Northbridge (NB) and SB710 Southbridge (SB) chipsets. The memory controller supports DDR3 memory DIMM frequencies of 1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066. It supports two DDR3 slots with maximum memory size of 16 GB. One PCI Express x16 slot, intended for Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Gen2. In addition, one PCI Express x1 slot is supported.

The SB710 Southbridge integrates USB 2.0 interface, supporting up to eight USB 2.0 ports (four USB 2.0 ports at the rear panel and two USB 2.0 headers support additional four USB 2.0 ports). It also integrates a Serial ATA host controller, supporting four SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to 3Gb/s each.

There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, four USB 2.0 ports, one LAN port, one D-sub (VGA) port, one HDMI port (optional) and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out.

Using BIOS

About the Setup Utility

The computer uses the latest “American Megatrends Inc.” BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard BIOS.

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.

The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:

Hard drives, diskette drives and peripherals

Video display type and display options

Password protection from unauthorized use

Power Management features

The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.

This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.

The Standard Configuration

A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.

This Setup Utility should be used:

when changing the system configuration

when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup Utility

when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts

when making changes to the Power Management configuration

when changing the password or making other changes to the Security Setup

Entering the Setup Utility

When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

Press DEL to enter SETUP

Resetting the Default CMOS Values

When powering on for the first time, the POST screen may show a “CMOS Settings Wrong” message. This standard message will appear following a clear CMOS data at factory by the manufacturer. You simply need to Load Default Settings to reset the default CMOS values.

Note: Changes to system hardware such as different CPU, memories, etc. may also trigger this message.

Using BIOS

When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu appears. The main menu of the Setup Utility displays a list of the options that are available. A highlight indicates which option is currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, execute the option by pressing <Enter>.

Some options lead to pop-up dialog boxes that prompt you to verify that you wish to execute that option. Other options lead to dialog boxes that prompt you for information.

Some options (marked with a triangle f) lead to submenus that enable you to change the values for the option. Use the cursor arrow keys to scroll through the items in the submenu.
