Starting up for the first time
1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2. Make sure that all switches are turned off.
3. Turn on the devices in the following order.
a. Monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power
4. After powering on, LED on the system front panel case lights up. For ATX
power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power
switch. If your monitor complies with green standards or if it has a power
standby feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and
green after the system LED turns on. The system then enters the Power-On
Self Test (POST) routines. While the tests are running, the BIOS beeps or
additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within
30 seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have
failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call
your retailer for assistance.
5. After the POST routines are completed, press the <Del> key to access the
BIOS Setup Utility. For detailed instructions, please refer to Chapter 3.
Powering off the computer
1. Using the OS shut down function
If you use windows 98/ME/2000/XP, click Start and select Shut Down, then
click the OK button to shut down the computer. The power supply should
turnoff after Windows shuts down.
2. Using the dual function power switch
While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds puts the system in sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the
BIOS setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the
system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.

Attaching Speakers
To perform multichannel audio operation, connect multiple speakers to the
system. You should connect the same number of speakers as the audio channels you will select in the software utility.
2-Channel Analog Audio Output
The audio connectors on the rear panel already provide 2-Channel analog audio output. The rear panel’s audio connectors can be transformed to 4-/6-Channel analog audio connectors automatically when you select the correct setting
in the software utility. For information about the setting, refer to Selecting 4- or 6Channel Setting later in this section.
Make sure all speakers are connected to Line-out connectors. Diverse connector configurations for 2-, 4- and 6-Channel using rear panel connectors are
described below:

Chapter 6 Special BIOS Functions
SuperBoot technology greatly reduces the long boot process time of computers.
A BIOS without SuperBoot has to perform many routines every time when the
system starts, such as checking the system core and initializing system
peripherals. Now with SuperBoot, a PC can boot up without any unnecessary.
SuperBoot is quite easy to use: choose the right option in CMOS setup (refer to
BIOS features), SuperBoot saves the information when the PC boots up at the
first time and restores the parameters for the system, thus letting the PC boot
freely and rapidly.
If the previous boot was not completed, then the BIOS will perform a normal
POST, even if SuperBoot is enabled.
No matter SuperBoot is enabled or not, the BIOS will perform normal POST
if CMOS fails.

There are two choices which implement this function.
1. Set the jumper (FWH_EN) as Disabled (pin 1-2 closed), the BIOS cannot be
overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (FWH_EN) as Enabled (pin 2-3 closed), meanwhile set Flash
Write Protect as Enabled in CMOS Setup. In this case, the BIOS cannot be
overwritten, but the DMI information can be updated.
Note: FWH_EN default is enabled.
The BIOS of the motherboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe viruses such as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the
motherboard. If the BIOS has been damaged, the system will be unable to boot.
We provide the following solution which protects the system BIOS from being
attacked by such viruses.

SuperRecovery
SuperRecovery is an easy-to-operate tool for backing up or recovering your hard
disk data. It offers simplified user interfaces with hotkey access and allows you
to experience unprecedented high security and reliability with extra functions,
such as hotkey launch, and powerful anti-virus protection.
Features:
1. Password Protection:
You can set a password for each HDD.
2. Data Protection:
Hidden partitions can only be accessed during data back up or recovery. Even
reformatting the disk using FDISK or PQMAGIC will not allow access to the disk.
This means that data backed up in a hidden partition is very secure.
3. Intelligent Menu:
Unavailable items will be displayed in gray. For example, if you haven’t
divided a hidden partition, items like “Release Hidden Partition”, “Back up” and
“Recovery” will be displayed in gray and can’t be selected. And, when you
select an item, the related information will appear on the bottom of the screen.
Disclaimer:
Please study this software program’s specification carefully before using it. The
vendor should not be liable for any damage arising out of or in connection with
the use of this program, including liability for lost profit or data, or any other
damage whatsoever.
System Requirements:
1. ATA5 or above compliant IDE HDD.
2. FAT16, FAT32, NTFS files system.
3. PS/2 keyboard or USB keyboard.
You should enter the CMOS setup interface first by pressing <DEL> during
(POST Power On Self Test). Then select the “SuperRecovery Hotkey” option to
adjust the hotkey settings in the “BIOS Features” menu.
There are 12 options: LSHIFT (Left Shift) + F1~F12. LSHIFT+F12 is the default
setting.
Hotkey Selection:

Chapter 6 Special BIOS Functions
Hard Disk Selection:
The hard disk selection menu will be displayed after you press the hotkey,
listing all the IDE HDDs installed in your system. You can switch the highlight
bar to make a selection and press “Enter” to confirm it.
Attention:
1) Make sure that you have selected a HDD before entering the main menu.
2) Make sure that the HDD you selected is ATA5 or higher. For the HDDs
lower than ATA5, there will be a message of “No Support” in the HDD list
menu listing beside the name of it.
3) Only one HDD can be opreated at a time.
Note: If you have assigned a password to the selected HDD, you will be
prompted to provide it before proceeding.

On-line help message
Main Menu:
Select a HDD to enter main menu. There are five function items, “DIVIDE HIDDEN PARTITION”, “RELEASE HIDDEN PARTITION”, “BACKUP”, “RECOVERY”
and “CHANGE PASSWORD”. You can switch the highlight bar to make a selection on the operation which should be performed on the HDD and confirm your
selection by pressing <Enter>. The following operation will be performed on the
disk you selected.
1. What’s a Hidden Partition:
SuperRecovery can be used to divide a hidden partition, which is to be reserved
for backing up HDD data. The operation of Division will erase all the old data
saved in the HDD, to make sure that the following operations can be continued.
Once the division is done, any future variation to the HDD will never affect the
area of hidden partition, such as virus, windows system breaking down and
data loss. SuperRecovery can recover all the data backed up in hidden partition.
The user can therefore easily get the computer on track again.
2. Divide Hidden Partition:
1) Enter a percentage of the HDD total capacity or an actual size in MB as
the size of the hidden partition, such as “30%” or “3000”. Press <Enter>
to confirm your input. As the average rate of compression is 50% or so,
you are suggested to divide 30% of the total as the capacity of the hidden
partition;
2) The system will then prompt you to enter “Y” or “N” for confirmation.
Press <Y> to restart the computer, and the division for hidden partition
will be taken into effect after the system is restarted.
Divide Hidden Partition:

Chapter 6 Special BIOS Functions
Release Hidden Partition:
This is used to release the hidden partition. If you choose this item and press
“Y” to confirm, the system will be restarted to release the hidden partition. But
the released partition is still unavailable for you after the system is restarted. It’s
necessary for you to enable it by using FDISK, PQMAGIC, or some other tools.
Attention :
1) All the data will be cleared after division is in process. So you’d better do
the division against an empty HDD.
2) At the same time, the HDD capacity will decrease to make space for the
hidden partition, which is unavailable for your normal use.

2. Backup Partition Table:
This function can help to backup all partition tables including extended
partitions.
1. Backup CMOS Setup:
1) Supports backing up of the CMOS data.
2) The backing up or recovery of CMOS data should be operated on a
motherboard of the same model.
Backup:
Select BACKUP to enter the Backup interface, where you can find the following
three sub-function items: “BACKUP CMOS SETUP”, “BACKUP P ARTITION TABLE”
and “BACKUP HARDDISK DATA”. Switch the highlight bar by pressing the arrow
keys to make a selection and then press “Enter” to confirm your choice.

2) Backing up with the progress bar showing.
3. Backup Harddisk Data:
1) If there are active partitions (system partition), you can choose an active
partition or the whole disk for backing up. But only one can be taken
between the two choices. Old data will be replaced by the newly backed
up.
