1
than AGP8X and it’s up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 8Gbyte/sec at full speed to
guarantee the performance and compatibility of GPU graphics add-in cards. The whole series
carry two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O peripheral devices. One
PCI Express x1 I/O slot offers 512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more bandwidth
than PCI at 133Mbye/sec.
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8 or10 of USB2.0 functional
ports delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the
future USB demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to
monitor and protect your system and maintain you non-stop business computing.
Some special features---
CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU Vcore 7-shift
this motherboard are
in
designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more flexible ways. But please
be caution that the over-clocking maybe causes the fails in system reliabilities. This
motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands of the next
generation computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with variety
possibilities of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read the
detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please get them in the coming
section.
1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology--- (The CPU Overheat Protection 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.
CPU Vcore 7-Shift--- (Shift to Higher Performance)
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 14 steps for the precisely over-clocking of extra
demanding computing performance.
OC-CON 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.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2-1 About Intel LGA775 CPU
This motherboard provides a 775-pin surface mount, LGA775 Land Grid Array socket,
referred to as the LGA775 socket supports Intel Core family processor in the 775 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA) 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!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heat
sink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause
the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an
auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA775
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.
LGA775
Colden Arrow
When you install the CPU into the LGA775 socket, there’s no force required CPU insertion;
then presses the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-2 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES
(DIMM) sides for DDR memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 128MB
to maximum memory size of 4.0GB DDR SDRAM.

3-1 Connectors
(1) Power Connector (24-pin block): ATXPWR1
ATX Power Supply connector:
This is a new defined 24-pins
connector that usually comes with
ROW1 ROW2
ATX case. The ATX Power Supply
allows using soft power on
momentary switch that connect from
the front panel switch to 2-pins
Power On jumper pole on the
motherboard. When the power
switch on the back of the ATX
power supply turned on, the full
power will not come into the system
board until the front panel switch is
momentarily pressed. Press this
Pin 1
20-Pin
switch again will turn off the power to the system board.
** We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant power supply
unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This type has 24-pin and 4-pin
power plugs.
** If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the 20-pin
power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and the power supply unit has a minimum
power rating of 350W. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the
power is inadequate.

Chapter 4 USEFUL HELP
4-1 HOW TO UPDATE BIOS
Before updating the BIOS, users have to “Disable” the “Flash Part Write Protect” selection in
“Miscellaneous Control” of BIOS SETUP. Otherwise the system the will not allow you to upgrade
BIOS by Award Flash Utility.
STEP 1. Prepare a boot disc. (You may make one by click START click RUN type SYS A: click
OK)
STEP 2. Copy utility program to your boot disc. You may copy from DRIVER CD
X:\FLASH\AWDFLASH.EXE or download from our web site.
STEP 3. Download and make a copy of the latest BIOS for NVIDIA MCP73U/MCP73PV/MCP73V
/motherboard series from the web site to your boot disc.
STEP 4. Insert your boot disc into A:,
start the computer, type
xxxxxx.BIN is the file name of latest BIOS
SN means don’t save existing BIOS data
PY means renew existing BIOS data
CC means clear existing CMOS data
R means restart computer
STEP 5. Push ENTERS to update and flash the BIOS, and then the system will restart automatically.
“Awdflash A:\xxxxxx.BIN /SN/PY/CC/R”
4-2 Trouble Shooting
Problem Solution
No power to the system to the all power light
don’t illuminate, fan inside power supply doesn’t
turn on.
System inoperative. Keyboard lights are on ,
power indicator lights are lit, and hard drive is
spinning.
System doesn’t boot from hard disk drive, can be
booted from optical drive.
System only boots from optical drive .Hard disk
can be read and applications can be used but
booting from hard disk is impossible.
Screen message says “Invalid Configuration” or
“CMOS Failure”
Can not boot system after installing second hard
drive.
1. Make sure power cable is correctly plugged
in. 2. Replace cable. 3. Contact technical
support.
Using ever pressure on both ends of the DIMM ,
press down firmly until the module snaps into
places.
1. Check cable running from disk to disk
controller board. .Make sure both ends are
securely plugged in, check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup. 2. Backing up the hard
drive is extremely important .All hard disks are
capable of breaking down at any time.
1. Back up date and applications files. 2.
Reformat the hard drive. Reinstall applications
and date using backup disks.
Review system‘s equipment .Make sure correct
information on is in setup.
1. Set master /slave jumpers correctly. 2. Run
SETUP program and select correct drive types.
Call the drive manufacture for compatibility with
other drives.

4-3 How to use the sticky label
Accompanied with your motherboard there is a sticky label for the back panel. It servers the
dustproof function and could also enhance the looks of your motherboard.
1. Tear out the sticker and dispose the paper without stickiness.
