INTRODUCTION

The Micro ATX IR2 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer

®

mainboard based on the AMD Athlon

®

onboard Creative

ES1373 PCI technology in audio. The AMD Athlon
processor is the newest microprocessor in the AMD K86TM family of
microprocessors.

The mainboard uses the highly integrated AMD
AMD 756 peripheral controller. The AMD-751 system controller features:
the S2k system interface supports a 100Mhz clock and double-data rate
(DDR) transfers, the 33MHz 32-bit bus interface supports up to three
masters, the 66MHz AGP 1.0 compliant interface supports 2x data transfer
mode, and High Speed memory designed to support a 100MHz SDRAM
(PC-100-compatible-DIMM) with serial presence detect (PSD). The AMD­756 peripheral bus controllers feature an integrated ISA bus controller, an
enhanced IDE controller with Ultra DMA-66 support, and a
keyboard/mouse controller.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU

2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedures

Step 1: Install the Retention Mechanism.

Attach the Retention Mechanism to the Mainboard. Push the Plastic
lock to secure the Retention Mechanism into the mainboard.

Secure the processor
by pulling up the
Retention Mechanism
Processor Lock

Insert the processor
like inserting a PCI or
an ISA card

To release the
processor, push the
Retention Mechanism
Processor lock down

Step 2: Install the Processor.
Insert the Processor like inserting a PCI or an ISA card.

Step 3: Lock the Processor.
Lock the processor by pulling up the Retention Mechanism
processor lock shown above.

Note: The Retention Mechanism processor lock can only lock S.E.C.C. 2
and S.E.P.P. processor.

Mainboard MS-6191

2.1-2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

The Mainboard can auto-detect the processor speed. Just insert the AMD
Athlon processor into Slot A.

If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 5

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 100MHz x 5
= 500MHz

2.3-2 Memory Installation Procedures
A. How to install a DIMM Module

Single Sided DIMM

Double Sided DIMM

1. The DIMM slot has a two Notch Key “VOLT and DRAM”, so the

DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in.

14

Mainboard MS-6191

3. The plastic clip at the side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

2.3-3 Memory Population Rules

1. Supports only PC100 SDRAM DIMM.

2. To operate properly, at least one 168-pin DIMM module must be

installed.

3. This mainboard supports Table Free memory, so memory can be

installed on DIMM1 or DIMM 2 in any order.

4. Supports 3.3 volt DIMM.

To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the
onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the
onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP + EPP” will allow the
onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode has
to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After selecting
it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA” At this time, the user can choose
between DMA channels 3 or 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the
user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will be
displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9 spec.
Can be chosen.

Power Status LED

This item determines which state the Power LED will use. The settings are Blinking, Dual color, and Single color.

power returns. During Off, after every AC/Power Loss, the system will be shutdown.

RI Resume/WOL

To use this function, you need a LAN add-on card which support power on functions. It should also support the wake-up on
LAN jumper (JWOL).

Enabled Wake up on LAN supported.

Disabled Wake up on LAN not supported.

This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can use. The settings are: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, NA.

RTC Resume

This function is for setting date and time for your computer to boot up. During Disabled, you cannot use this
function. During Enabled, choose the Date and Time Alarm:

Date(of month) Alarm You can choose which month the

system will boot up. Set to 0, to boot

every day.

Time(hh:mm:ss) Alarm You can choose what hour, minute and

second the system will boot up.

Note: If you have change the setting, you must let the system boot up until it goes to the operating system, before this

function will work.

Reload Global Timer Events

Reload Global Timer events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or
can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is

3.9 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows
I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components.
This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any
changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when
you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the
operating system can not boot.
The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.

Resource Controlled By

The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug and Play
compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a P lu g and P lay operating
system such as Windows



95/98. If you set this field to “manual” choose specific resources by going into each of the sub

menu that follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a “”). The settings are: Auto(ESCD), Manual.

IRQ Resources

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using
the interrupt.

Memory Resources

This sub menu can let you control the memory resource.

3.11 Set Supervisor/User Password

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences are:

Supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

User password : Can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus. When you select

this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously
entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press
<Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the
password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an
unauthoriz ed person from changing any part of your system con figuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is
rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security
option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only
occurs when trying to enter Setup.
