Thermal Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speed and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial to computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is the key to reliable, long-term
system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is
keeping the processor's temperature below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface
area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials
allow
effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat
transfer,
Intel recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink
to the processor. When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to
the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel.

11
2-3-2 Install CPU
This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370.The CPU that comes with the
motherboard
should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case,
then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor's heatsink
and theCPU cooling FAN is working correctly; otherwise, it may cause
overheating and damage the processor and motherboard. You may install
an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
Before installing a CPU, first of all, turn off your system and remove its cover.
Locate the ZIF socket and open it by pulling the lever sideways up away from
the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the
correct orientation as shown below.
12
The notched corner should point toward the end of the level.
Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will
fit only in the orientation as shown.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY
MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion from 32MB to 1GB SDRAM.
NOTE!
Make sure the total installed memory size does not exceed 1GB;
otherwise, the system may hang during startup.
13
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket, the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING!
If the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, you must use PC133-compliant
DIMMs. When this motherboard operates at 133Mhz, most system will not even
boot if nonPC133-compliant SDRAM modules are used because of
the strict timing issues. If your DIMMs are not PC133-compliant, set the SDRAM
clock at 100MHz to ensure system's stability.

Introduction of BIOS
The BIOS is a program located in the Flash Memory on the motherboard.
This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system.
When you start the computer, the BIOS program gains control. The BIOS first
operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (Power on Self Test) for all the
necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware devices and configures the
parameters of the hardware synchronization. After these tasks are completed,
BIOS will give control of the computer back to operating system (OS). Since the
BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate with, it
is the key factor of system stability and of ensuring your system
performance at best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will
explain these options in the following pages. First, let us see the function keys
you may use here:
. Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
. Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose the option you want to
22
confirm or modify.
. Press <F10> to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu after
you complet the setup of BIOS parameters.
. Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys to modify the BIOS
parameters for the active option.
3-1 Enter Setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your respond but you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on
the system case. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing
<Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the proper time
and the system does not boot, an error message will display and you will be asked
to
Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup

3-9 PnP/PCI Configuration Setup
This section describes how to configure the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at the speed
the CPU itself keeps when CPU communicates with its own special components. This
section covers some very technical items and we strongly recommended that only
experienced users should make any change to the default settings.

The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all of the boot and Plug
and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing
unless
you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95/98. If you set
this field to "manual", choose a specific resource by going into each sub menu that
follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a ">").
The settings are Auto (ESCD) or Manual.
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, each system interrupt is assigned a type,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

When you press <Enter> on this item, you get confirmation dialog box with a
message similar to:
Load Standard Defaults (Y/N)? N
Press <Y> to load the BIOS default values for the most stable system operation and
minimal performance.
Load Optimized Defaults
When you press <Enter> on this item, you get a confirmation dialog box with a
message similar to:
Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N)? N
Press <Y> to load the default values that are factory settings for optimal
system operation performance.
3-13 Set Supervisor/ User Password
You can set supervisor password, user password, or both. The differences are:
Supervisor password: You can enter the setup menus and change the options.
User password: You can enter the setup menus but do not have the right to
change the options. When you select this function, the
following message will appear at the center of the screen to
assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password
typed will clear any previous password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also
press <Esc> to abort the selection without entering password. To disable a password,
just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will
confirm if you want to disable the password. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter Setup menus freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you have to enter it every time before you
enter the Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.
34
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have the BIOS to request a
password at every time when your system is rebooted. This would prevent the
unauthorized user.
You can determine if the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu
and its Security option. If the Security option is set to "System", the password will
be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to "Setup",
the password is required only at the entry to Setup.
