free, software services to support their PC hardware and software
and to turn their computer into a powerful tool for communication,
entertainment, education and business
4.1.1Internet Launch System
The PhoenixNet Internet Launch System (ILS) is a patentpending technology built into the firmware to enable online
PC users worldwide to communicate with PhoenixNet and to
receive the free PhoenixNet services. ILS resides safely
within ROM and is activated the first time a user launches a
PhoenixNet-enabled PC with a Windows 98 Operating
System.
4.1.2PhoenixNet Online Services
When the PhoenixNet ILS detects an Internet connection, it
makes contact with the PhoenixNet server and delivers userselectable services from PhoenixNet’s Internet Partners.
These services are delivered to the user as hotlinks on the
desktop and in the web browser or, as applications that
PhoenixNet automatically packages, downloads and

4.2.2Enter BIOS setup program
Power-on the system by either pressing the Power-On
button, or by using any of the power-on features provided by
the motherboard. Then, press the <Del> key after the
Power-On Self Test (POST), and before the scanning of IDE
devices. Simply look for the message “Press DEL to enter
SETUP” displayed at the bottom of the screen during the
boot up process. If the message disappears before you’ve
had a chance to respond, you can restart the system by
Turning off the system power then turn it on again, or
Pressing the “RESET” button on the system case, or
Pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.

If the system is no longer able to boot after changing the settings,
the only way to recover it is to clear the data stored in RTC CMOS.
To reset the RTC CMOS data, take the JP1 jumper cap off pins 1-2,
place onto pins 2-3, and then place back onto pins 1-2 again. This
will return the RTC to the default setting. Then, get into the BIOS
setup program , choose Load Fail-Safe Defaults ; Load Optimized

When this function is enabled, the BIOS monitor the boot

halt the system and then display an error message.
Afterwards, if necessary, you can run an anti-virus program
to locate and remove the problem before any damage is
done.
Many disk diagnostic programs will attempt to access the
boot sector table, which can cause the above warning
message. If you run such a program, we recommend that
you first disable the Virus Warning function beforehand.

4.1 1 Iwill Smart Setting
66
Chapter 4BIOS Setup
CPU FREQUENCY SETUP
In general, when adjusting the CPU frequency, you should select a
matched bus frequency for both the CPU and the motherboard. The
reason is that your CPU can only communicate with its external
components at the same speed at which the components operate.
In other words, if your motherboard bus speed is 100 MHz, you
should start by selecting 100 MHz (as a “base”) to set the CPU
frequency. This frequency is also referred to as the “system bus
frequency” or external frequency.
T o understand how does CPU works, and how does it related to
FSB and multiplier, here is the example:
CPU speed = FSB x Multiplier (CPU Ratio)
800Mhz = 100Mhz x 8
How to setup CPU frequency in IWILL Smart Setting
IWILL provides a triple stepping system bus selection in V A series
motherboards. It allows user to select various FSB speed ranging
from 66MHz ~ 133Mhz. This section will describe how does this
works.
67
Chapter 4BIOS Setup
1. Leave JP3 pin 1-2 ON & pin 3-4 ON, allows user to select the
following FSB.
Auto(Default)
2. Leave JP3 pin 9-10 ON & JP3 pin 1 1-12 ON, allows user to
select the following FSB.
66 MHz.
3. Leave JP3 pin 1 1-12 ON , allows user to select the following
FSB.
100MHz
4. Leave JP3 pin1-12 OFF , allows user to select the following
FSB.
133MHz
For example:
If you purchased a 800 MHz (133Mhz FSB) Intel® Pentium III CPU,
leaves JP3 pin1-12 OFF. Enter IWILL Smart Setting™, setup your
CPU frequency by selecting 133 MHz (system bus frequency) x 6
(multiplier), which equals 800MHz (your CPU frequency), saves it in
before leaving the BIOS setting to complete the CPU frequency
setting.
If you purchased a 800 MHz (100Mhz FSB) Intel® Pentium III CPU,
leave JP3 pin 1 1-12 ON. Enter IWILL Smart Setting™, setup your
CPU frequency by selecting 100 MHz (system bus frequency) x 8
(multiplier), which equals 800MHz (your CPU frequency), saves it in
before leaving the BIOS setting to complete the CPU frequency
setting.
68
Chapter 4BIOS Setup
If you purchase a 533 MHz (66Mhz FSB) Intel® Celeron CPU, leave
JP3 pin 9-10 ON & JP3 pin 1 1-12 ON. Enter IWILL Smart Setting™,
setup your CPU frequency by selecting 66MHz (system bus
frequency) x 8 (multiplier), which equals 533 MHz (your CPU
frequency), saves it in before leaving the BIOS setting to complete
the CPU frequency setting.
However, the fact is, most of the CPU in the market now comes
with multiplier locked. No effect will be taken even the multiplier
setting is altered in the IWILL Smart Setting. Furthermore, a higher
system bus frequency (FSB) has a much better performance than a
slower system bus frequency.
Note: BIOS will auto-detect and display your CPU Ratio
(Multiplier).

Additionally, if the Security Option field is set as Boot, the BIOS will
request a password every time your system boot. This would
prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
In you wish to use this function, bring the cursor to this field, then
