WOM: Wake On Modem Connector J27

Function: A connector for the lead from an internal modem that supports the Wake On Modem feature.

Description: This feature enables the system to “wake up” from Suspend mode when it receives a signal over a modem it is connected to. It works with an internal PCI modem card that supports this feature by connecting the card to the WOM connector on the motherboard.

The motherboard supports WOM through a PCI bus signal. This signal will wake up the computer only when it is plugged into an AC power source and the system is in a supported suspend state.

More Information: Please see the Power Management Setup section of “Configuring the CMOS Setup Utility” in Chapter 5 for information.

Jumper JP8: Clear CMOS Memory

JP8 is a jumper switch, but it does not set a hardware configuration setting. The BIOS CMOS Setup Utility creates a system configuration record that is stored in CMOS memory in the real-time clock chip. If the configuration record data becomes corrupted or is destroyed, or if the CMOS Setup Utility settings are changed to an unusable configuration, the motherboard may not run properly or at all. JP8 provides a means to delete the configuration data stored in CMOS memory and reset the configuration to the CMOS Setup Utility’s Optimized Defaults.

Follow this procedure to clear CMOS memory. If necessary, refer to the motherboard diagram and key in Chapter 2 for the jumper location.

1. Turn off and unplug the system. Remove the system housing cover (see documentation if necessary).

2. Set JP8 to the Clear CMOS position by placing the jumper cap over pins 2 and 3 for one minute.

3. Return the jumper cap to the Normal position.

4. Replace the system housing cover, plug in the system and turn it on.

5. Run the CMOS Setup utility and load the Optimized Defaults. You can then enter any custom settings

Firmware Configuration: The CMOS Setup Utility

The BIOS CMOS Setup Utility a configuration record of system settings. This record is based on the “Optimized Defaults that are stored with the utility in Flash memory and can be reloaded at any time.

Many of these settings are either recommended or required for the motherboard to operate properly. Other settings are customizable and can be changed to suit your specific system configuration and operation requirements.

A number of the variable settings, such as CPU and IDE device settings are set to be automatically detected in the default configuration. While these settings can also be established manually, automatic detection is more convenient, safe and reliable. We strongly recommend that you leave all auto-detection settings undisturbed unless you have a specific reason not to and you are certain of what you are doing. Incorrect configuration of the CMOS Setup Utility can result in unreliable operation or a failure of the motherboard to work at all.

Using the CMOS Setup Utility

Please refer to the “Configuring the CMOS Setup Utility” section in Chapter 5 for information on using the utility and some settings you might want to customize. The utility does not run under an Operating System. You must load it during the Power On Self Test (POST) while the computer is starting up by press the Delete key or the Del key on the system keyboard’s numeric keypad.

You can change the default configuration (as shipped) of this motherboard as needed. However, since this motherboard has only a few hard configuration options and the CMOS Setup Utility configuration is mostly either required, recommended or automatic, there will probably be little reason to do so.

Hardware Reconfiguration

We recommend leaving the jumper settings at the default settings unless you need to perform the Clear CMOS procedure. It is much more convenient to control the BIOS Flash Protection feature using the CMOS Setup Utility.

If you install the optional FI Panel, you should remove the jumper caps on JP2 so that you can connect the FI Panel audio connector.

The default setting is correct for any DDR memory you can install on this board. The alternate settings in the CMOS Setup Utility are only used for overclocking.

Firmware Reconfiguration

You can initially specify or customize the CMOS Setup Utility settings when you first configure the system (as covered in Chapter 5) to meet your requirements. Other than doing this, there should be no need to reconfigure the CMOS Setup Utility unless the system configuration changes or the configuration record stored in CMOS memory becomes corrupted and unusable, which is not common. If you need to completely recreate the system configuration record, follow the Clear CMOS procedure described in this chapter.

Installing the Fan/Heatsink

Once you have installed the CPU, you must install a Fan/Heatsink assembly. The Fan/Heatsink clips onto to the CPU socket.

Prepare the Heatsink

Before you install the Fan/Heatsink you must prepare the Fan/Heatsink assembly. The heatsink has a patch of thermal interface material on the underside that is covered with protective tape or by a plastic cover that covers the entire bottom of the heatsink. You must remove the tape before you install the Fan/Heatsink assembly. To remove the plastic cover, just pull it off. To remove the tape do as follows:

1. Hold the free end of the tape at a 90° to the surface

of the heatsink. Pull the tape off with a smooth quick movement that removes the tape only and not the underlying thermal interface material.

Installing Memory Modules

Installing DIMM modules is simple. The modules insert in the sockets and are held in place by the socket retaining arms. The edge connectors on the modules are of different widths and there are key notches in each module. These ensure that you can not insert a module incorrectly.

Before you install any modules, you should choose a configuration. You should then prepare the required number and type of DDR modules.

To install either type of module follow this procedure:

1. Align the module to the socket so that the edge

connectors on the module match the socket sections.

2. Hold the module perpendicular to the motherboard

and press the edge connector into the socket.

3. Press the module fully into the socket so that the

socket retaining arms swing up and engage the retention notches at each end of the module.

Following the configuration you have chosen, repeat this procedure if necessary so that all modules are installed. Once the modules are installed, system memory installation is complete.

Module Installation:Module Installation:

Installing the Motherboard in a System Housing

This section explains the basic requirements for installing this motherboard in a system housing or “chassis”. Since housing designs vary widely, you will need to consult the housing documentation for specific information.

This motherboard can be installed in any housing that supports the ATX form factor.

To install the motherboard in a system housing you will need to do the following:

• Install a rear I/O panel shield

• Attach the board to the housing

• Connect leads from the housing’s front panel You can then connect other internal system components

as described later in this chapter.

Motherboard Installation Procedure

This section assumes you are installing the board in a suitable ATX housing. We also assume you have prepared the board for installation as previously described in this manual. If the housing you are using normally stands vertically, place the open housing on it’s side before you start.

Please follow this procedure to install this motherboard:

1. Review any instructions that came with the system

housing and prepare the necessary mounting hardware that came with it.

2. Identify the mounting holes on the board and con-

firm that the housing has standoffs that match them.

3. Install the rear I/O panel shield that came with the

motherboard in the housing’s I/O panel opening. This should fit in the housing.

Connecting Internal Devices

To assemble a complete system capable of completing the installation of this motherboard you will need to install and connect the following internal devices:

• Hard Disk Drive

• CD-ROM or other optical drive

• Floppy disk drive The floppy disk drive is not strictly necessary, but is a

standard system component and is needed if you will create driver floppy disks from the Power Installer 2.

We assume here, in the absence of an alternative drive controller that any hard disk or optical drives will be IDE devices connected to the motherboard’s IDE channels.

Connecting IDE Devices

This motherboard supports two IDE channels, Primary and Secondary. It has two IDE device connectors onboard which support IDE devices running in any data transfer mode up to ATA-100. Each IDE connector supports two drives, a Master and a Slave. The drives connect to the motherboard with an IDE ribbon cable. IDE cables have three connectors on them, one that plugs into a drive connector on the board and the other two that connect to IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is for the Master drive. The connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave drive.

-133 Cables-133 Cables

-133 Cables

-133 Cables-133 Cables ATA-133 mode devices require a ribbon cable that supports this mode. Don’t use the supplied ATA-100 cable to connect IDE devices to an ATA 133 device.

There are different types of IDE ribbon cable, supporting transfer modes up through ATA-33, ATA-66 or ATA-100 or ATA-133. You must use a cable that supports the transfer mode of the fastest device connected to it. For example, if both an ATA-66 mode and an ATA-100 mode device are connected to the same cable, the cable must support ATA100 mode to achieve maximum performance.

To install an IDE drive, connect the drive to one of the drive connectors on a suitable ribbon cable. Plug the board end of the cable into one of the IDE connectors on the motherboard.

Cable Select:Cable Select:

Cable Select:

Cable Select:Cable Select: Not all drives work properly with Cable Select mode. If you try to use this mode and the drive does not operate properly, set the drive to either Master or Slave mode, as appropriate for its position on the cable.

IDE Drive Positioning

Normally the system’s primary hard disk drive should be in the Primary Master position. If you will use only the supplied ribbon cable, connect a CD-ROM drive to the Primary Slave position.

If you obtain an additional IDE ribbon cable, you can install a second hard disk drive in the Primary Slave position and install the CD-ROM as the Secondary Master. This is a good idea if the CD-ROM drive uses a slower data transfer mode than the hard disk drive.

Follow any instructions that come with the drives to configure and install them. IDE devices generally can be set to one of three operation modes:

• Master

• Slave

• Cable Select Many drives come set to the Master setting. If you will

use the drive in a Slave position, you must reconfigure it as either Slave or use the Cable Select setting to allow the drives position on the cable to define the mode.

Connecting a Floppy Disk Drive

This motherboard has one Floppy Drive connector for connecting one or two floppy disk drives. Most computer systems use one 3.5-inch 1.44MB floppy disk drive. The drive connector is for a standard floppy drive ribbon cable.

To install a floppy disk drive, connect the drive to the end of the cable, which is the Drive A: position. Plug the other end of the cable into the floppy disk drive connector on the motherboard.

Connecting a Smartcard or MS/SD Reader

This motherboard has connectors for a Smartcard reader (JP13) and a Memory Stick™ or Secure Digital™ memory card reader (J29). You can either connect individual modules to them or you can connect the appropriate cables from the optional FI Panel.

To connect any of these devices, follow the instructions that come with them. You will need to connect a module cable to the appropriate connector and enable the feature in the “Integrated Peripherals” section of the CMOS Setup Utility. The default port settings listed should work.

The KK400-RS motherboard includes two additional disk drive subsystems you may want to make use of. These include both a Highpoint HPT371 RAID controller with one IDE connector for two drives and a Serial-ATA controller with one onboard connector.

These additional controllers allow you to add additional disk drives to the system over and above the four drives supported by the standard onboard IDE controller. On the KK400-RS you can connect an additional two ATA133 IDE, or slower, IDE devices, to the IDE RAID connector. The KK400-RS also provides an Serial-ATA connector, to which you can connect an additional device.

This means that the KK400-RS supports a total of seven devices including one Serial-ATA drive. If you are going to configure your system with a large number of devices, make sure that the wattage of the system power supply is sufficient to support all the devices you want to install.

RAID & Serial-ATA Drivers

Both the Highpoint RAID and Serial-ATA features require drivers to operate. The Power Installer support CD-ROM disc includes Windows drivers for these features. Make sure you install the appropriate driver if you will use either of them. See the relevant Installation Guide on the Power Installer for more information.

ATA-133 Cabling

The KK400 Series motherboards come with one ATA-100 cable. An ATA-133 mode cable is required for use with the ATA-133 devices. ATA-133 cables are similar to the supplied ATA-100 IDE ribbon cable. Both support two devices. If you will connect more than two ATA-133 devices to the board, make sure you purchase an additional ribbon cable that is specifically for ATA-133.

Serial-ATA Cabling

The KK400-RS motherboard comes with a Serial-ATA cable. You use it to connect a Serial-ATA device to the onboard Serial-ATA connector. The connector is designed so that it isn’t possible to plug the cable on the wrong way.

Configuring the CMOS Setup Utility

Configuring the CMOS Setup UtilityConfiguring the CMOS Setup Utility

The motherboard Award BIOS includes the CMOS Setup Utility that creates a system configuration record that is stored in CMOS memory on the board and is required by the system to operate properly.

Most of the configuration settings are either predefined by the BIOS Optimized Default settings which are stored with the BIOS or are automatically detected and configured without requiring User action. There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your system configuration.

This section gives a brief profiles of the several sections of the CMOS Setup Utility and indicates settings you might need to change and those which you should not.

The CMOS Setup Utility User Interface

The CMOS Setup Utility user interface is simple and largely self evident. The utility can only be operated from the keyboard and all commands are keyboard commands. The utility does not support mouse use. The commands are straightforward and those available for the program section you are in are listed at the bottom of the screen. The main screen has few commands, other sections have more. General Help, which lists the commands and their functions is available at any time by pressing the F1 key.

Running the CMOS Setup Utility

The CMOS Setup Utility does not require an operating system to run. You run the utility by typing the Del or Delete key when the computer is starting to boot up. The utility’s main screen will then appear.

Set Supervisor/User Password

These two items set passwords for system access.

Setting a Password

You can install a Supervisor or User Password. The password prevents access to the CMOS Setup Utility (Supervisor) or the entire system (User).

To install a password, follow these steps:

1. Highlight either Set Password item in the main menu and press Enter.

2. The password dialog box will appear.

3. If you are entering a new password, carefully type in the password. You cannot use more than eight characters or numbers. Passwords are case-sensitive. Press Enter after you have typed in the password. If you are deleting a password that is already installed just press Enter when the password dialog box appears.

4. The system will ask you to confirm the new password by asking you to type it in a second time. Carefully type the password again and press Enter, or just press Enter if you are deleting a password that is already installed.

5. If you have used the correct format, the password will be recorded.

If you decide not to set a password after bringing up the password entry window, press the Enter key, not Esc to exit the password entry window.

Save & Exit Setup

This saves the current utility configuration as a new configuration record, exits the utility and restarts the system using the saved configuration record.

Exit Without Saving

Exits the utility and restarts the system without changing the saved configuration record.

In general, it should not be necessary to use the CMOS Setup Utility once you have fully configured it. In the event you do need to change or re-establish the settings, always make sure to save the settings when you exit the utility or the new settings will not be stored.

Power Button

Function: Turns the system On and Off. Use: This button is configured by the CMOS Setup Utility

by the “Soft-Off Mode by PWR-BTTN” line in the Power Management section. Depending on the setting, the power button will function in one of two modes, instant on/off or instant on/4-second delay off. In the delay mode, when you push the power button for less than 4 seconds when the system is on, the system goes into the Suspend power conservation mode. In this mode, you have to push the button for more than 4 seconds to turn the system power off.

Reset Switch

Function: Restarts the system to cold boot. Use: Press the button to restart the system. This forces a

restart under all conditions. Don’t use the Reset button if you can shut the system down from within the Operating System.

Note On Reset & Rebooting: You should always restart or shut down the system by

using the OS command for this. This procedure allows the OS to shut down properly, minimizing the possibility of hard disk drive problems or data loss. If the system crashes or “hangs”, you may have to restart the system at the hardware level. There are two hardware reboot options, a keyboard command and the Reset button.

You can effect a “warm” reboot with a key command if the OS supports it. For example, all versions of Microsoft Windows support restarting the computer with the CtrlAlt-Del (Delete) command. You can try this command first if it is supported. Otherwise, you will need to use the Reset button.

Suspend Button

Function: Toggles system in and out of Suspend mode. Use: Press the button to cause the system to enter or

resume from Suspend mode. Note: The front panel feature connector supports a sys-

tem Suspend button (the ACPI connector) but not all system housings have this button. The same function can be performed at the Operating System level if the OS supports the feature.

Installing & Configuring An IR PInstalling & Configuring An IR P

There is a pin header connector for an Infrared communications port module on the motherboard. An IR port enable wireless communication between the system and another device with IR capability. Common examples of such devices are a PDA or notebook computer. Installing an IR port module requires disabling the COM2 serial port on the rear I/O panel and reconfiguring it for IR use in the CMOS Setup Utility.

Installing an IR port module requires an expansion slot opening unless the system housing has a built-in IR port with a cable to connect to the motherboard.

Follow the instructions that come that come with the port module you want to install. The basic installation procedure is as follows if the module installs in an expansion slot opening:

1. Turn off and unplug the system if necessary.

2. Remove the system housing cover.

3. Locate the JP5 IR pin header connector on the motherboard.

4. Remove the expansion slot cover in the system housing that corresponds to an open PCI slot. There may be a slot cover retaining screw to remove and put aside for later use.

5. Insert the port module in the open expansion slot cover and align the module’s mounting bracket with the screw hole for the retaining screw If there is one). Insert the screw and tighten it to secure the port module in place.

6. Plug the module’s connector cable on to the IR connector on the motherboard.

7. Replace the system housing cover.

8. Plug in and turn on the computer.

9. Run the CMOS Setup Utility and pen the Integrated Peripherals section. Set the “UART Mode Select” to the required mode, IrDA or ASKIR, and configure the port settings below it if necessary. Save the settings and reboot.

This section covers things you can do to increase the performance of a system based on this motherboard. The topics covered include system memory, disk subsystems and processor upgrades or adjustments.

System Memory

Adding system memory will increase system performance and capability under any of the supported Operating System. This motherboard supports a total of 2GB of unbuffered DDR DRAM system memory. If you have not installed the maximum, you can consider increasing the amount of installed system memory. Additional system memory speeds up system operation and in some cases produces additional stability in the Operating System.

Disk Subsystems

The main IDE controller on this motherboard supports IDE drives using data transfer modes up through ATA-

133. If you use IDE drives as the primary disk subsystem,

selecting drives that support ATA-133 and have a high rotation speed will maximize performance.

If you need even better performance from a disk subsystem, you can consider using the RAID or the SerialATA features on the KK400-RS. Both of these, and particularly the Serial-ATA controller, will provide a substantial performance enhancement over the standard onboard IDE controller.

Processor Upgrades & Adjustments

Processor speed has a significant effect on overall system performance. To increase system performance, you can consider using or upgrading to a faster processor.

The AMD processors used by this motherboard come in a variety of clock speeds. To maximize performance, select a processor with the fastest clock speed the system budget or specification allows.

The CMOS Setup Utility’s Frequency/Voltage Setting section will automatically detect and configure whatever processors are installed. Manual configuration is also available, but setting the processor to operating parameters outside those specified by AMD can damage the CPU and void the warranty.

The onboard audio subsystem provides support for connecting a 5.1 speaker system to the computer.

sing The Motherboarsing The Motherboar

Speaker Types

A 5.1 speaker system has the following speakers:

• Front Left & Right Channel

• Rear Left & Right Channel

• Center Channel

• Bass Subwoofer The “5” stands for the five speakers and the “1” for the

Subwoofer. These speakers make up the full set for a Home Theater speaker system.

Speaker Connections

There are several means of connecting a 5.1 speaker system to the board. The rear I/O panel provides the following connections:

• Line Out: For the Front Left & Right Channel speak-

ers. A connector from a cable for both speakers plugs into this jack. Also used for Stereo speakers.

• Rear: For the Rear Left & Right Channel speakers. A

miniplug cable for both speakers plugs into this jack.

• Center/Subwoofer: For the Center Channel speaker

and the Subwoofer. A miniplug cable for both speakers plugs into this jack.

The 5.1 speaker systems designed for computers usually have an amplifier built into the Subwoofer housing and come with cables to connect these audio jacks to the Subwoofer. Additional cables then connect the five speakers to the subwoofer’s amplifier.

• S/PDIF: this is a connector for a special optical digi-

tal audio cable.

The S/PDIF cable carries the entire audio signal out to a sound system that includes an amplifier with a connection for this type of cable and a built-in decoder to differentiate the audio signal and divide it into it’s various components and send them to the correct speaker in the

5.1 system.
