INSTALLATIONS

Installing the CPU

The MI950 motherboard supports an LGA 775 processor socket for Intel® Core 2 Duo processors.

The LGA 775 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the processor. Refer to the pictures below, from left to right, on how to place the processor into the CPU socket. Please note that the cover of the

LGA775 socket must always be installed during transport to avoid damage to the socket.

ATX Power Installation

The system power is provided to the motherboard with the ATX2 and ATX1 power connectors. ATX2 is a 24-pin power connector and ATX1 is a 4-pin 12V power connector.

The 24-pin power connector can to be connected to a standard 20-pin ATX power connector in a standard ATX power supply (Min. 400watt).

Note: The power supply 5VSB voltage must be at least 2A.

MI950 User’s Manual

INSTALLATIONS

BIOS SETUP

BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.

Time, Date, Hard Disk Type…

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the control keys section, there is another section, which displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list.

Note:

If the system cannot boot after making and saving system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.

Warning:

It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your system manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could cause the system to become unstable and crash in some cases.

MI950 User’s Manual 21

BIOS SETUP

Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

IDE HDD Block Mode

This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive.

IDE DMA Transfer Access

This field, by default, is enabled

This field, by default, is enabled

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO (Programmed Input /Output) allows the BIOS to communicate with the controller and CPU directly.

The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA

These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and Disabled.

SATA Mode

The setting choices for the SATA Mode are IDE, RAID and AHCI Mode. Select [IDE] if you want to have SATA function as IDE. Select [AHCI] for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) feature, with improved SATA performance with native command queuing & native hot plug. Select [RAID] to use SATA as RAID function. RAID function is supported on the board if it uses ICH10DO. (MI950F/MI950AF supports RAID,AHCI.)

BIOS SETUP

LEGACY Mode Support

This configuration is supported only with MI950F/MI950AF. When the Serial ATA (SATA) is set with the legacy mode enabled, then the SATA is set to the conventional IDE mode. Legacy mode is otherwise known as compatible mode.

PWRON After PWR-Fail

This field sets the system power status whether on or off when power returns to the system from a power failure situation.

Onboard Serial/Parallel Port

These fields allow you to select the onboard serial and parallel ports and their addresses. The default values for these ports are: Serial Port 1 3F8/IRQ4 Serial Port 2 2F8/IRQ3 Serial Port 3 220H /IRQ5 Serial Port 4 230H/IRQ7

This field sets the IRQ used by the Modem. By default, the setting is 3.

Suspend Mode

When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off.

HDD Power Down

When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices remain active.

Soft-Off by PWRBTN

This field defines the power-off mode when using an ATX power supply. The Instant Off mode allows powering off immediately upon pressing the power button. In the Delay 4 Sec mode, the system powers off when the power button is pressed for more than four seconds or enters the suspend mode when pressed for less than 4 seconds.

BIOS SETUP

CPU THRM-Throttling

When the system enters Doze mode, t he CPU clock runs only part of the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs.

Wake up by PCI Card

By default, this field is Disabled.

Power On by Ring

This field enables or disables the power on of the system through the modem connected to the serial port or LAN.

Resume by Alarm

This field enables or disables the resumption of the system operation. When enabled, the user is allowed to set the Date and Time.

Reload Global Timer Events

The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events that can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.

HPET Support

HPET stands for High Precision Event Timer. HPET can produce periodic interrupts at a much higher resolution than the RTC and is used to synchronize multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the need to use other timestamp calculations such as an x86 CPU's RDTSC instruction. HPET is not supported in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or earlier Windows versions. HPET is supported under Linux and Windows Vista. By default, this field is enabled.

HPET Mode

By default, this field is set to 32-bit mode.

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.
