2-3- Unpacking

This mainboard package should contain the following:

• The 531CF mainboard

• USER’S MANUAL for mainboard

• Cable set for IDE x1, Floppy x1,COM x1

• CD fo r Drivers P ACK

The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by electron­static, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.

Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-

static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to

your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded

anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage.
Press down on the entire socket IC’s to make sure that they are properly inserted. Do this only on

with the board placed on a firm flat surface.

Warning: Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged.

You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on the mainboard
matches the Micro ATX system board.

It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a Micro ATX main board mounting. Place the
chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover.

Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and keep them
separate.

• Switch Function : You can choose whether or not to permit your system to enter
complete Suspend mode. Suspend mode offers greater power savings, with a
correspondingly longer awakening period.

• Doze Speed (div by): Sets the CPU's speed during Doze mode. The speed is reduced to a

fraction of the CPU's normal speed. The divisors range from 1 to 8

The choice: 1~8.

• Stdby Speed (div by) :Select a divisor to reduce the CPU speed during Standby mode to a

fraction of the full CPU speed. The speed is reduced to a fraction of the CPU's normal speed.
The divisors range from 1 to 8-0.

The choice: 1~8

• MODEM Use IRQ: Name the interrupt request (IRQ) line assigned to the modem (if any) on

your system. Activity of the selected IRQ always awakens the system.

The choice: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, NA.

• Hot Key Function As : Select Enabled if your system has a hot key for soft power off.
The choice: Power off, Suspend ,Disabled.

21

• PM Timers : The following four modes are Green PC power saving functions which are only

user configurable when User Defined Power Management has been selected.

See above for available selections.

• HDD Off After : By default, this item is Disabled, meaning that no matter the mode the rest of

the system, the hard drive will remain ready. Otherwise, you have a range of choices from 1 to
15 minutes or Suspend. This means that you can elect to have your hard disk drive be turned
off after a selected number of minutes or when the rest of the system goes into a Suspend
mode.

• Doze Mode : When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the CPU clock will run

at slower speed while all other devices still operate at full speed.

• Standby Mode : When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the fixed disk drive

and the video would be shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed.

• Suspend Mode : When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except

the CPU will be shut off.

• PM Events : You may disable activity monitoring of some common I/O events and
interrupt requests so they do not wake up the system. The default wake-up event is keyboard

activity.

• HDD Ports Activity : When set to On (default), any event occurring at a HDD (serial) port will

awaken a system which has been powered down.

• COM Ports Activity : When set to On (def ault), any event occurring at a hard or

floppy drive port will awaken a system which has been powered down.

• LPT Ports Activity : When set to On (defau lt), any event occurring at a LP T (printer) port will

awaken a system which has been powered down.

• VGA Activity : When set to On (default), any event occurring at VGA will awaken a

system which has been powered down.

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted much as the COM
ports and LPT ports above can. 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.

As above, the choices are On and Off.
When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management

mode nor awaken it.

• IRQ [ 3-7, 9-15], NMI

• IRQ 8 Break Suspend : You can Enable or Disable monitoring of IRQ8 (the Real

Time Clock) so it does not awaken the system from Suspend mode.

• Power Button Over Ride : You could press the power button for more than 4

seconds forces the system to enter the Soft-Off state when the system has “hung.”

The choice: Instant-Off, Delay 4 Sec.

• Ring Power Up Control : When you select Enabled, a signal from ring returns the

system to Full On state.

• GPIO5 Power Up Control : When you select Enabled, a signal from General

Purpose Input 05 returns the system to Full On state.

The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

3-4-2 Description of the Green Functions

This motherboard supports HDD Power Down, Doze and standby power saving functions when
Intel Pentium processor CPU is installed. The detail description of these functions are provided
as following:

HDD Standby Mode
When system stop reading or writing HDD, the timer starts to count. The system will cut off the
HDD power when timer ran out of time. The system will not resume operation until either a read
from or a write to HDD command is executed again.

Doze Mode
The system hardware will drop down CPU clock from normal working speed when Doze mode
timeout occurred.

Standby Mode

When the system standby mode timer ran out, it will enter the standby mode and retain CPU at
slow working speed. The screen will be blanked out.

Suspend Mode

24

When the system suspend timer time out, the system will enter the suspend mode and the
chipset will stop CPU clock immediately. The power consunption in Suspend Mode is lower than
in standby mode. The screen is also blanked out.

PM Events:

AWARD BIOS defines 15 PM Events in the power management mode (Doze, standby &
suspend). The user can initial any PM Events to be "Enable" or "Disable". When the system
detects all of the enabled events do not have any activity, it will start the system Doze timer first if
the "Power Management" isn't "Disabled". Once the system Doze timer timed out, it will process
doze power saving procedure by starting the system standby timer. W hen the standby timer ran
out and all of the "Enabled" events remains silent, the system will enter the standby mode. By
now, the system will not only process the standby power saving procedures but also start the
system suspend timer. When the suspend timer time out, all of the CPU clock will be stopped by
dropping system clock down to zero and remains this way until any one of the "Enabled" event
occurred.

• Power Button Over Ride: User can choice power off mothod, by instant off or 4 sec off.

• Ring Power Up Control: When setting this item Enabled, and press the power button to

power off. After Ring in the system will auto power on.

• Pow er Up by Alarm: Default value is Disabled , when choice enabled you can setting Date of

Month, Time Alarm to setup the time and the date to power on the computer.

3-5 PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect,
is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses
when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical
items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.

speakers. The mute button temporarily stops input or output without changing slider positions.

Control types and names might vary. The common types are listed below:

• Vol: The master control for all outputs. The strength of an output signal is determined by both

the Vol slider and the slider for the individual output. To affect all outputs, move the Vol slider.
To change the output of an individual output type, move its slider.

• Line-in/Rear: Controls the audio hardware's Line In or Line Out levels. Line levels might be for

an externally attached cassette player, for instance, while the four speakers mode is enabled,

The 4 Speakers System

This Audio Adapter provides 2 wave channels(front/rear), known as the 4 speakers system.
When games or application programs via DirectSound® 3D or A3D® interface locate the sound
sources to the listener's back, the two rear speakers will work to enhance the rear audio
positional effect, so as to complement the insufficiency of using only two front speakers to
emulate the
audio effect. The following is the hardware installation and the software setups:

1. The speaker installation.
Connect the front pair speakers to the Line-out jack of the audio adapter, and then connect rear
pair speakers to Line-in/Rear jack of the audio adapter. The original Line-in can be moved to
Aux-in.

2. The positions of the speakers
Put your speakers the way the following picture suggests, so as to avail yourself to the best
audio result.

3. The mixer setup
There is a 4 speakers option in the volume control of the mixer, and when you enable this option,
it means the rear speakers are connected to Line-in/Rear jack. When Line-in/Rear jack is
connected to other external Line-in sources, please DO NOT enable this option in order to avoid
hardware conflicts. Regarding rear speaker option, you can turn on or turn off the output of the
back speakers, and adjust the volume, to have the rear/front speakers have the same volume.

4. The demo
Execute the "Helicopter" demo within the C3D HRTF Positional Audio Demos of this audio
adapter. When the helicopter flies behind you, the rear speakers will work.
