Special Features of Motherboard

CPU Thermal Throttling Technology

To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working. (For detail operating please read Section 3-11 Bi-turbo

Configuration)

CPU Smart Fan---( The Noise Management System )

It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics.
CPU Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for
now-a-day’s high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the
fan speed when CPU operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition,
the system will low down the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can
provide the much longer life cycle for both CPU and the system fans for game use and
business requirements.

CPU Vcore 7-Shift--- (Shift to Higher Performance)

The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 31 steps for the precisely over-clocking of extra
demanding computing performance.

OC-CON ---（High-polymer Solid Electrolysis Aluminum Capacitors）

The working temperature is from 55 degrees Centigrade below zero to 125 degrees
Centigrade, OC-CON capacitors possess superior physical characteristics that can be while
reducing the working temperature between 20 degrees Centigrade each time, intact extension
10 times of effective product operation lives, at not rising degrees Centigrade of working
temperatures each time a relative one, life of product decline 10% only too.

About AMD Athlon64 Socket AM2 CPU

This motherboard provides a 940-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket,
referred to as the mPGA940 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 940 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array package technology.

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!

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree
angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. 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 only fit in the orientation as shown.

Starting Up Your Computer

1. After all connection are made, close your computer case cover.

2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to

proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your
country’s voltage used.

3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system

case according to your system user’s manual.

4. Turn on your peripheral as following order:
a. Your monitor.
b. Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…)
c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the power supply

and press the ATX power switch on the front side of the case.

5. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. The LED on the
monitor may light up or switch between orange and green after the system is on. If it
complies with green standards or if it is has a power standby feature. The system will
then run power-on test. While the test are running, the BIOS will alarm beeps or
additional message will appear on the screen.

If you do not see any thing within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power. The
system may have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections
or call your retailer for assistance.

Useful Setup

BIOS Setup

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS
program gain 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 device and configures
the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done
it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only
channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability,
and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.

In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short
description of the function keys you may use here:

• Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.

• Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to

confirm or to modify.

• Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these

parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.

• Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for

the active option.

Entering Setup

Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your 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 <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If
you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message
will be displayed and you will again be asked to

Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup

CAS # Latency

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends
on the DRAM timing. The settings are: Auto,3, 4 and 5.

RAS-to-CAS Delay

This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when
DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives
more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in
the system.

Row Precharge Time

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before
DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast
gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences are:

Supervisor password: Can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
User password: Can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the

setup menus. 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
now will clear any previously entered 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 and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A
message will confirm that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter
Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password
every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when 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”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
