Installation Precautions

■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric

current that ows between two objects at different electrical potentials.

Normally it comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electron-

ic equipment. Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap
when handling components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory.

■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or
removing CPU, memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is

recommended to unplug the AC power cord from the power supply outlet.
Failure to unplug the power supply cord may result in serious damage to
your system.

Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer :

■ It is suggested to select high-quality, certied fans in order to avoid

damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never

turn on the computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

■ We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when
your CPU is over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock
capacity of your device.

■ When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the
motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

■ When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or
connectors.

■ Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply A/C

input voltage setting has been congured to the local standard.

■ To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come

in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make
sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the
motherboard or within the computer casing.

■ If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related
to the use of the product, please consult a certied computer technician.

not work at the logon screen. At this point, the operating system has already taken the hand-off

from the BIOS, so the user may be stuck with no primary input device.

You must enable this setting so the BIOS can trap events from the USB keyboard and mouse

and presents them to the system as PS/2-compatible devices. Also some USB ash drives

may need this setting enabled to boot the system.

► Onboard Lan

This item is used to set whether the onboard LAN controller is enabled.

► Onboard Lan Boot ROM

This item is used to enable or disable the onboard LAN boot optional ROM. A LAN boot ROM

lets you set up a diskless workstation on the network. By installing a boot ROM in the network

board, you can enable a client PC system on the network to be booted remotely.

► Onboard 1394

This item is used to set whether the onboard 1394 controller is enabled.

► Supervisor Password

The supervisor password can be set up through this menu.

Press <Enter>, and key in a password, save the change and exit. The next time, when you

get into the BIOS again, it will ask you to conrm the password to maintain your access right.

After you have the right to access the BIOS, you then can select this setting again, and press

<Enter> to disable this function or to change it to another password.

► User Password

The user password can be set up through this menu. Only when there exists a Supervisor

password, then this setting can be active.

► Onboard Audio

This item is used to set whether the Audio controller is enabled.

With your motherboard and SATA hard disk both supporting AHCI, you better select

AHCI to install your Operating System (such as Windows XP). Later, if you ever

change this BIOS setting to IDE, OS still can run.

But if you at the rst time set this setting to IDE, then install the Operating System.

Later, if you change this BIOS setting to AHCI, this operating system can not run.

Power Menu

► After AC Power Feature

Set the operation mode when an AC power loss occurs.

[Power On] : Restore power as soon as AC is applied.

[Stay Off] : Keep the power off until the power button is pressed.

[Auto] : Restart computer if it was on before the power failed, stay off otherwise.

► XD (Execute Disable)

This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature.

Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer

overow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.

Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application

code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the

buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation.

Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks,

reducing the need for virus-related repairs. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus,

rewall, spyware removal, e-mail ltering software, and other network security measures, IT

managers can free IT resources for other initiatives.

► Virtualization Technology

Virtualization (i.e. Intel® Vanderpool Technology) allows a platform to run multiple operating

systems and applications in independent partitions or “containers.” One physical compute

system can function as multiple “virtual” systems. Vanderpool Technology can help improve

future virtualization solutions.

This item is used to enable/disable Intel® Vanderpool Technology.
