CPU Speed Setup

The system bus frequency can be switched at 66MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz and Auto by adjusting
JP3/JP25 (See Figure-1). The CPU Frequency is control by BIOS.

M

The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause system hanging up

if the frequency RATIO is higher than that of CPU.

«Note: Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s
specifications. We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over
the CPU’s specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the
standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether
your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend
on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, SDRAM,
Cards….etc.

Suspend to RAM Installation

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When
recovering from STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few
seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and
recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the
system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions,
primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up”
triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup

Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes) “D:\setup /p j” in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click

OK.
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

31

Suspend to RAM Installation

Step 2 :

Open STR Disabled(Default)

Close STR Enabled

Step 3:

Power on the computer and as soon as memory counting starts, press <Del>. You will enter
BIOS Setup. Select the item “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, then select “ACPI Suspend
Type: S3 (Suspend to RAM)”. Remember to save the settings by pressing "ESC" and choose
the “SAVE & EXIT SETUP” option.

Congratulation! You have completed the installation and now can use the STR function.

32

6WFZ7 Series Motherboard

A.3 How to put your system into STR mode?

There are two ways to accomplish this:

1. Choose the “Stand by” item in the “Shut Down Windows” area.

A. Press the “Start” button and then select “Shut Down”

B. Choose the “Stand by” item and press “OK”

33

Suspend to RAM Installation

2. Define the system ”power on” button to initiate STR sleep mode:

A. Double click “My Computer” and then “Control Panel”

B. Double click the “ Power Management” item.

34

6WFZ7 Series Motherboard

C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons.

Step 4:

Restart your computer to complete setup.
Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, just momentarily press the “Power on”

button..

A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode?

There are seven ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button.

2. Use the “Keyboard Power On” function.

3. Use the “Mouse Power On” function.

4. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.

5. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.

6. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.

7. Use the “USB Device Wake up” function.

35

Suspend to RAM Installation

A.5 Notices :

In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must be

satisfied:

A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more

than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current).

B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant.

2. Connector JP15 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your
chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system
is in STR sleep mode.

Appendix C : AU8810 Driver Installation

A. DRIVER INSTALLATION

If you have older drivers in your system, please uninstall them first as described in Section C
below.

1. Power on the system, placing the "Intel chipset Series Mainboard Utility CD" in the CD-ROM

drive.

2. During the load process, Windows 95/98 should detect the Vortex PCI board and display a

message such as "New Hardware Found". If Windows prompts you for the drivers of the "PCI
Multimedia Audio Device", then select "Driver Disk Provided by Manufacturer" Select the Vortex
CD-ROM's directory.

Note: Some Windows 95 versions (OSR2) do not show this prompt. Instead, they ask whether to
search the diskette and CD-ROM drives for the appropriate drivers.

Installed drivers may include Vortex PCI audio, Vortex wavetable, Vortex mixer, DOS modem
port, Vortex gameport interface, Vortex MPU401 interface, and Vortex Sound Blaster emulation.

Depending on the version of Windows 95 and the configuration of the system, you may be
prompted to provide several file locations. Here are the CD-ROMs and directory locations for
which you may be prompted:

Vortex Installation & Driver Disk \aureal\win9X
Windows 95/98 Installation Disk \aureal\win9X
Microsoft DirectX \Utility\directx\dxsetup
Vortex Application Setup \aureal\win9X
PCI Multifunction Audio Device \aureal\win9X

B. UNINSTALLING WINDOWS 95/98 DRIVERS

To uninstall the Vortex software, you can use the following procedure:

1. Open to the Windows 95/98 Device Manager (right-click on "My Computer"

and select "Properties").
