2-1 Hardware installation Steps
Before using your computer, you had better complete the following steps:
1. Check motherboard jumper setting
2. Install System Memory (DIMM)
3. Install Expansion cards
4. Connect IDE, Front Panel /Back Panel cable
5. Connect Power connector
6. Install Operating System
7. Install Driver and Utility
2-2 Checking Motherboard’s Jumper Setting

Generally, installing DDRII memory to your motherboard is very easy; you can refer to
figure 2-4 to see what a 240-Pin DDR 800II / DDRII 667 DDR SDRAM module looks like.
DIMM0 & DIMM1
DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1)
DIMM0 & DIMM1
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! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only DDR 33 3-co mpli ant DDR
Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133MHz, most system will not even
boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your
SDR Modules are not DDR333-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 133MHz
to ensure system stability.
10
2-4 Expansion Cards
WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your
motherboard and expansion cards.
2-4-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or
software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.

(2)IDE Connector：
This connector supports the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the
single plug end to motherboard, connect the two plugs at other end to your hard disk(s).
You may also configure two hard disks to be both Masters using one ribbon cable on the
primary IDE connector and another ribbon cable on the secondary IDE connector.
• Two hard disks can be connected to each connector. The first HDD is referred to as the
“Master” and the second HDD is referred to as the “Slave”.
For performance issues, we strongly suggest you don’t install a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive on the same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system per formance on this
channel may drop.

2-6 Starting Up Your Computer
1. After all connections 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.
16
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 is 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.
Beep Meaning
One short beep when displaying logo No error during POST
Long beeps in an endless loop No DRAM install or detected
One long beep followed by three short
beeps
High frequency beeps when system is
working
Video card not found or video card memory
bad
CPU overheated
System running at a lower frequency
6. During power-on, press <Delete> key to enter BIOS setup. Follow the instructions in
BIOS SETUP.
7.
Power off your computer:
You must first exit or shut down your operating system
before switch off the power switch. For ATX power supply, you can press ATX power
switching after exiting or shutting down your operating system. If you use Windows 9X,
click
“Start”
button, click
“Shut down”
and then click
“Shut down the computer?”
The power supply should turn off after windows shut down.

Chapter 3
Introducing BIOS
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 will gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-d i agnostic 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.
3-1 Entering Setup
Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
18
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
3-2 Getting Help
Main Menu
The on-line description of the highlighted setup function is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
Status Page Setup Menu/Option Page Setup Menu
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window, press <Esc>.
3-3 The Main Menu
Once you enter Award® BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear
on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two
exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter

This item allows you setting the FAN works in full speed when the temperature over the value
which out set. If the temperature below the value but over the Idle Temperature, the FAN
will works over 60% of full speed, and the higher temperature will gain higher FAN speed,
after over the temperature which this item setting, the FAN works in full speed.
CPU Idle Temp
This item allows you setting the FAN works in 60% of full speed, when the temperature
lower than the temperature which you setting.

This will show the CPU/FAN/System voltage chart and FAN Speed.
SFAN Smart Mode:
There are three choose , Disabled, Formula 1, Formula 2.
Disabled: Fan setting full speed.
Formula 1: Fan working low speed, under temperature 2.
Formula 2: Fan stop when under temperature 2.
