This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA

- INCREASE THE SEP ARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER

- CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE RECEIVER

- CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN

NOTE: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B

requirements, or using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in harmful interference to radio or television reception.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to use shielded I/O cables.

The following diagrams show the relative positions of the jumpers, connectors, major components and memory banks on the motherboard.

If you are using standard ATX power supply (without P4 12V power connector), you MUST connect a peripheral power plug (the plug supplying power to HDD / CDROM) into JP4. Thus you can use either ATX 12V power supply or standard ATX power supply for this motherboard (Noted : NOT all kinds of standard ATX power supply are guaranteed to be applicable in this motherboard.).

NOTE

1) Be sure to check the cable orientation in order to match the colored strip to the pin 1 end of the connector.

2) When you start up the system, please wait for 5 seconds after you power on AC.

3) It is not recommended to add a metal spacer plate on the back of the Socket478. Otherwise, some components will be short and damaged.

Installing a New ProcessorInstalling a New Processor

Installing a New Processor

Installing a New ProcessorInstalling a New Processor

An upgrade processor can dramatically increase general system speed and performance. Most microprocessor upgrade kits include the following items:

• Microprocessor chip

• Installation instructions and technical data

Before installing the processor, please refer to the installation notes that available with the CPU package.

o Install a Processor to ZIF Socko Install a Processor to ZIF Sock

o Install a Processor to ZIF Sock

o Install a Processor to ZIF Socko Install a Processor to ZIF Sock

To install the processor, follow these steps:

1. If the system microprocessor is already on the motherboard socket, you need to remove it from the motherboard socket. The socket is a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket which has a metal arm at one side. Carefully grasp this arm, move it horizontally away from the socket and lift it up. Eventually you will be able to lift the chip straight up out of the socket. Be careful not to bend any pins.

Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the microprocessor chip from its socket. The microprocessor chip can be permanently damaged.

2. Unpack the new microprocessor chip.

3. Carefully align the processor with the correct orientation to the socket on the motherboard.

4. Carefully insert the processor into the socket, and move the metal arm downward to replace it in its original position.

The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.

Please follow the setup to install the Heat Sink and cooling fan. Then connect the processor fan cable to the fan connector that located on the motherboard near the processor and ensure the fan can operate. Otherwise the CPU can overheat and cause

damage to both CPU and motherboard.

This chapter discusses Award’s Setup Program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup Program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM, which retains the setup information when the power is turned off.

Starting SetupStarting Setup

Starting SetupStarting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup Program can be activated :

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test )

If the message disappears before you can respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not reset, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to ...

When a password is enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any setting of your system configuration.

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

The password requirement is defined by the Security Option of the BIOS Features Setup Menu. If the Security Option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at resetting and at entering setup. If the option is set to “Setup”, the prompt only appears when you try to enter setup.

A program AWDFLASH.EXE is included in the utility diskette or CD (X:\Utility\ AWDFLASH.EXE). The user is recommended to follow the procedure below to update the flash BIOS. (X: your CD driver letter).

1. Create a DOS-bootable floppy diskette. Copy the new BIOS file (just obtained or downloaded) and the utility program AWDFLASH.EXE to the diskette.

2. Allow the PC system to boot from the DOS diskette.

3. At the DOS prompt, key in

and hit <ENTER>

4. Enter the file name of the new BIOS.

5. The question: “Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N)?” is displayed.

Key in “N” if there is no need to save the existing BIOS content.. Key in “Y” if a backup copy of the existing BIOS is needed. (A file name has to be assigned to the existing BIOS binary file.)

6. The question : “Are you sure to program (Y/N)?” is displayed.

Key in “Y”

7. Wait until the flash-update is completed.

8. Power down the PC system.

9. Restart the PC.

Warning:

DO not turn off or RESET the computer during the flash process. If you are unsure how to upgrade the BIOS, it is best to take your

computer to an Authorized Service Center and have a trained technician do the work for you.
