 ATX form factor, hardware dimension is 305mm x 244mm ( 12.0” x9.6” ).

1-2 Software Power Off Control

The mainboard designs to support Software Power Off Control feature through the SMM code in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, Windows 3.1x, and MS-DOS operation system environment. In order to reach this feature, you should use ATX power supply.

First, you should connect the power switch cable to the connector “PS-ON” on the

mainboard. In the BIOS screen of ‘POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP’, choose “User Defined” (or “Min. Power Saving” or “Max. Power Saving”) in ‘Power Manager’ and choose “Yes” in ‘PM Control by APM’. In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the system, you just choose “shutdown the computer ?” in the “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows 95/98, then the system power will be off directly and become the stand-by status. In the mean time, you will find the power LED light is blinking. If you would like to restart the system, just press the power switch button, and the system will be powered on.

1-3 SB-Link Sideband Signals (JP6)

In order to migrate the legacy Sound Blaster compatible audio to the PCI bus, EMU8008

incorporates a pair of SB-Link request/grant sideband signals (PCPCIR EQN and PCPCIGNTN) to interface to the PCI bus. SB-Link is a mechanism that was defined and developed by INTEL as a docking solution which allows ISA slots to exist in docking stations connected to desktop PC PCI bus.

1-4 Wake-On-LAN

The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is a mechanism that uses Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power up a sleeping workstation on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power up the sleeping workstation. When the LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power recondition. The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation-It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system. You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is INTEL and the other is with PME signal supporting.

1-5 Thermister

This means that users can monitor the CPU temperature through thermister. When setting up the thermister, the BIOS will load the CPU temperature automatically. There is a choice of the warning beep sound if the user set the option on. If the CPU temperature is overheated, the user will get the notice from the thermister. This time you should shut down the computer and check your devices. Or you can contact with you dealer.

1-6 Hardware Monitor

Hardware Doctor is a self-diagnostic system for PC and must be used with Winbond W83781D IC series product. It will protect PC Hardware by monitoring several critical

items including Power Supply Voltage, Fans Speed, and CPU & System temperature, which may damage system under malfunction.

CHAPTER 3 AMI BIOS SETUP

AMI BIOS manufacturer provides access to the system BIOS through the hardware and software on each ATC-6400 mainboard. The hardware consists of a Flash ROM and the software is a group of programs that are installed in the ROMBIOS along with all the other data the BIOS must contain.

The ATC-6400 mainboard will require special driver supplied by the manufacturer to update the BIOS SETUP program. It is a good idea to read the next page for details of how to update BIOS driver installation or you can ask your system dealer to do it for you.

When the driver has been successfully updated, it is very important to contact your system dealer to change the CMOS settings for your computer. The CMOS settings are shown in the following pages.

NOTE : To clear CMOS you should unplug the power cord, then set 2-3 to clear, put it back to normal position and plug the power cord again.

3-1 UPDATE BIOS PROCEDURES

If the BIOS needs to be updated, you can get the updated BIOS driver from the CD we offer in the package. The BIOS updated CD includes :

“amiflash.com” -- BIOS updated utility program

The updated procedure is in the following:

1. Boot the system to DOS mode in a normal manner.

2. Insert the updated CD to the CD ROM drive.

3. Change working directory to CD ROM drive, which contains the updated BIOS CD.

-- Type “d:\flash” or “e:\flash”, then press “ENTER” key.

4. Run the BIOS updated utility -- Type “amiflash”, “ENTER”.

5. Type “(updated BIOS file name with version number).bin”, ENTER.

6. If you do not want to save the old BIOS version, type “N” when the screen displays

the message : " Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N) ?".

7. Type “Y“ when the screen shows the message : " Are you sure to program (Y/N) ?".

8. Follow the instructions on the screen. DO NOT remove the CD from the CD ROM

drive nor turn the system power off until the BIOS updated is completed.

9. Turn the power off. Clear the data in CMOS according to the procedure described in

the previous page.

10. Turn the system power on and test that your system is working properly.

3-1-1 UPDATE PENTIUM II BIOS API

Intel also provides MICROCODE API(Applications Programming Interface) for PentiumII processor-based mainboard user to updated data block in BIOS quickly and easily. (You can find this utility in the CD that we offer in the package.)

The BIOS code on the PentiumII processor-based mainboards contains data that is specific to each silicon stepping of the processor. Integrators must ensure that this BIOS stepping data matches the processor stepping used. When the BIOS does not contain stepping data that matches the processor stepping, integrators must updated the data in the BIOS before shipping the system. Historically, PentiumII systems have been updated by replacing the entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that contains the correct stepping data.

Intel‘s BIOS updated API allows stepping data within the BIOS to be updated as needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS updated API can be quickly and easily updated, if required, without obtaining a complete BIOS upgrade. Using this utility, integrators can easily verify that the correct stepping data is present in all PentiumII processor-based mainboards. However, if the stepping data requires updating, the mainboard BIOS must contain the Intel-defined BIOS updated API, otherwise a complete BIOS upgrade is required from the mainboard vendor.

Put the CD into CD-ROM drive, e.g. drive E, and then type

E:\>”ENTER”, and type \api\checkup.

The main menu should now be displayed, showing the following four options :

1) Check and load updated

2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]

3) Help

4) Quit without loading updated

Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then select 1 to updated proper patch code. Now, the screen will show the message “please remove CD from CD-ROM drive”. Then cold boot (mechanical power off) system to continue. For more information, please refer to “CHECKUP.HLP“ file.

3-2 AMI SYSTEM BIOS CONFIGURATION SETUP

The following pages explain how to set up the system configuration (CMOS) under the AMI BIOS. The SETUP program is stored in the Read-Only-Memory (ROM) on the mainboard. To do the SETUP procedure, press the <Del> key when the system is booting up. The following main menu will appear. Please select " STANDARD CMOS SETUP" to enter the next screen.

CPU Frequency Selection

Use this item to set CPU base clock frequency which includes 66, 75, 83, 100, 105, 112, 124, 133, 140, 150MHz. The default setting is 66MHz.

After you change the CPU Clock Frequency and the system can not start, please do the following procedures:

1. Turn the system off firstly.

2. Turn on the system and keep pressing “ F10 ” key at boot.

3. Select the proper frequency in this item.

4. Shut the system down again.

5. Turn on the system.

CPU Ratio Selection

Use this item to set CPU ratio which includes 3.0x, 3.5x, 4.0x, 4.5x,

5.0x, 5.5x, 6.0x, 6.5x, 7.0x, 7.5x, 8.0x. The default setting is 3.5x.

VCC3 Voltage Setting

The selection of I/O voltage. Recommend users not to change the default setting.

Note: If you change your CPU from 66MHz to 100MHz (or from 100MHz to 66MHz), there is a message showed on the screen at boot such as “ The CPU has been changed. Press F1 to run SETUP. Press F2 to load default values and continue. ”

The following items are optional.

Current VID It shows the default figure of VID setting, 2.00V.

VID Setting You can adjust the figure of Vcore by pressing the PgUp/PgDn

key. This function is helpful when you perform the overclock of CPU. The system will automatically detect your CPU Vcore. And the adjustable figure range is from +0.4V to -0.1V. That means if your CPU Vcore is 2.0V, the choice is from

1.90V~2.40V. If your CPU Vcore is 2.8V, you can change it from 2.7V to 3.2V.

The following items are for System Hardware Monitor:

Current CPU Temperature

It shows the current system temperature.

Current System Temperature

This field displays the current system temperature if your computer contains a monitoring system.

Current CPUFAN /ChassisFAN/ PWRFAN Speed

It shows the running speed of the system fan, chassis fan and power fan. The figure will be changed when the system is running. If you do not install the fan, the figure will be 0.

IDE Hard Disks Auto Detection:

This allows you to detect the IDE hard disk drivers’ parameters and enter them into “Standard CMOS

Setup” automatically. If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones that should be used

for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press<N> to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually

on the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
