Introduction
CPU Temperature Protection
The CPU Temperature Protection function has the capability of
monitoring the CPU’s temperature during system boot-up. Once
it has detected that the CPU’s temperature exceeded the CPU
temperature limit defined in the BIOS, the system will automatically power-off after 5 warning beeps. Refer to “CPU Temp. Prot.
Function and CPU Temp. Prot. Alarm” in the PC Health Status
section in chapter 3 for more information.
CPU Fan Protection
The CPU Fan Protection function has the capability of monitoring
the CPU fan during system boot-up and will automatically poweroff the system once it has detected that the CPU fan did not
rotate. This preventive measure has been added to protect the
CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment. Refer to “CPU Fan Connector with CPU Fan Protection Function”
in chapter 2 and “CPU Fan Protection” in the PC Health Status
section in chapter 3 for more information.
Over Voltage
The Over Voltage function allows you to manually adjust to a
higher core voltage that is supplied to the CPU. Although this
function is supported, we do not recommend that you use a
higher voltage because unstable current may be supplied to the
system board causing damage. Refer to “OverClocking Control”
in the Genie BIOS Setting section in chapter 3 for more information.
12
CPU Overclocking
The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the processor’s bus clock. However, overclocking may result to the processor’s or system’s instability and are not guaranteed to provide
better system performance. Refer to “OverClocking Control” in
the Genie BIOS Setting section in chapter 3 for more information.
Automatic Chassis Fan Off
The chassis fan will automatically turn off once the system enters
the Suspend mode.

ACPI STR
1
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management
and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management. Currently, only Windows
supports the ACPI function allowing you to use the Suspend to
RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off
the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting
“Standby” when you shut down Windows
out having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of
closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the
system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the
entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory)
when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly
where you left off the next time you power-on the system. Refer
to “Using the Suspend to RAM Function” in appendix A for more
information.

The system board is equipped with three 184-pin DDR SDRAM
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets that support 2.5V
DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is
a type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading and
writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock. This
effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore providing two
times faster data transfer.
Hardware Installation
Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for detailed
specification of the memory supported by the system board.
2.3.1 Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a DIMM socket on the system
board. Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of
the socket.
Notch
Key

Tab
Pin 1
1. Pull the “tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the “notch” in the
module aligned with the “key” on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.

The system board is equipped with an onboard PS/2 mouse
(Green) and PS/2 keyboard (Purple) ports - both are located at
the ATX triple deck ports of the system board. The PS/2 mouse
port uses IRQ12. If a mouse is not connected to this port, the
system will reserve IRQ12 for other expansion cards.

The system board is equipped with a digital audio interface - S/PDIF
(Sony/Philips Digital Interface). S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer
format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having
to be converted fir st to an analog format. This prevents the quality
of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to
analog.

The system board is equipped with a shrouded floppy disk drive
connector that suppor ts two standard floppy disk drives. To prevent
improper floppy cable installation, the shrouded floppy disk header
has a keying mechanism. The 34-pin connector on the floppy cable
can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is
aligned with pin 1 of the header. You may enable or disable this
function in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“Super IO Device”
field) of the BIOS.

The system board is equipped with two shrouded PCI IDE headers
that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
disk drives. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each shrouded
PCI IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on
the IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the
connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header. You may enable or
disable the onboard primary or secondary IDE controller in the
Integrated Peripherals submenu (“VIA OnChip IDE Device” field) of
the BIOS.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable
1. If you are connecting two IDE drives, install the 40-pin connector
of the IDE cable into the primar y shrouded IDE header (IDE 1).
If you are adding a third or fourth IDE device , install the 40-pin
connector of the other IDE cable into the secondary shrouded
IDE header (IDE 2).
2. Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device with
the colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1 of the
drive edge connector(s).
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
Hardware Installation
Adding a Second IDE Disk Drive
When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the
other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive
manufacturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on the drives.
The system board supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33,
ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives. We recommend that
you use hard drives from the same manufacturer. In a few cases,
drives from two different manufacturers will not function properly
when used together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not the
system board.
Important:
If you encountered problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM
drive that is set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive
to Slave mode. Some ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized
and cannot be used if incorrectly set in Master mode.

Hard drives must be Ultra ATA/133, ATA/100, Ultra ATA/66, Ultra
ATA/33, EIDE and/or Fast ATA-2 compatible. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity. The
drives’ matched performance allows the RAID array to function
better as a single drive.
Drives in an array must be identical. If striping for performance,
use two new drives. If mirroring for protection, you can use two
new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive (the new
drive must be the same size or larger than the existing drive).
Only two drives can be configured as RAID. Since striping or
mirroring is done on the same channel, one drive must be set in
Master mode and the other in Slave mode.
Hardware Installation
Note:
• The RAID and Serial ATA functions cannot be used at the
same time. Refer to the “Jumper Settings for Serial ATA or
RAID” section in this chapter.
• Only connect IDE hard drives to the RAID IDE connectors.
• PCI slot 4 and RAID IDE use the same IRQ. If you are
using add-in cards such as PCI audio card, please do not
install it into PCI slot 4.
• Refer to the RAID user’s manual included in the CD for
information on configuring RAID.

The VIA VT6306 controller is a complete single chip IEEE 1394a
solution. It is fully compliant with the 1394a OHCI (Open Host
Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. 1394a is a fast external bus
standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400Mbps. In
addition to its high speed, it also suppor ts isochronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need to transfer high
levels of data in real-time. 1394a supports both Plug-and-Play and
hot plugging allowing devices to be attached or removed from
the system, even with the power on.
One card-edge bracket, mounted with 3 IEEE 1394a ports, will be
provided as an option. Install the card-edge bracket to the system
chassis then connect the cable connectors to J2, J13 and/or J14.
Make sure pin 1 of the cable connectors is aligned with pin 1 of
J2, J13 and/or J14. Now connect your 1394a devices to the 1394a
por ts that are on the bracket.

The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heatsink.
Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heatsink, the
CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
The CPU Fan Protection function supported by the system board
has the capability of monitoring the CPU fan during system boot-up
and will automatically power-off the system once it has detected that
the CPU fan did not rotate. This preventive measure has been
added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment.
To use the CPU Fan Protection function, please follow the steps
below .
1. Before you power-on the system, make sure the heatsink and
CPU fan are correctly installed onto the CPU. The system is capable of monitoring the CPU fan, therefore you must use a fan

Hardware Installation
with sense pin to support this function. Connect the CPU fan
to the 3-pin fan connector at location J10 on the system
board.
2. Make sure the “CPU Fan Protection” field in the PC Health
Status submenu of the BIOS is set to “Enabled”. Refer to PC
Health Status section in chapter 3 for more information.
3. You may now power-on the system.
Two circumstances may occur causing the system to power-off
automatically. A beeping alarm will sound before the system will
power-off.
1. The CPU fan did not rotate because the CPU fan is damaged.
When you boot-up the system and the CPU fan did not ro-
tate, it may indicate that the fan is damaged. Replace it with a
new fan.
2. The CPU fan did not rotate immediately upon system bootup or it took some time before the CPU fan rotated.
If the CPU fan did not rotate immediately upon system bootup or it took some time before the fan rotated, check
whether the heatsink and fan are mounted properly onto the
CPU then restart the system. If the same problem occurs, you
must replace it with a good quality fan - one that will rotate
immediately once power comes in and also one that can dissipate heat more efficiently, otherwise, you have to disable this
function in the “CPU Fan Protection” field (PC Health Status
submenu) of the BIOS.

If you are installing a chassis fan in the system unit, connect the fan’s
connector to J11 and/or J17 on the system board. The fan will

Function
+5VSB

WOL
The Wake-On-LAN connector is used to connect to a LAN card
that has the same connector. This function will allow the network to
remotely power-on a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. However, if
your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system
only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
To use the Wake-On-LAN function, you must enable “Resume on
LAN/Ring” (“Wake Up Events” field) in the Power Management
Setup of the BIOS. Your LAN card package should include a cable .
Connect one end of the cable to the wakeup header on the card
and the other end to location J16 on the system board. The network will detect Magic Packet and asser t a wakeup signal to powerup the system. Refer to the add-in card’s manual for details. Note:
Your LAN card must suppor t the remote wake up function.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA.

4.1 Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The mainboard comes with a DMI built into the BIOS. DMI, along with
the appropriately networked software , is designed to make inventory,
maintenance and troubleshooting of computer systems easier. With DMI,
a network administrator or MIS engineer can remotely access some
information about a par ticular computer system without physically going
to it. Quite often a ser vice call may be unnecessary as the problem
can be solved remotely.
The DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration. Information about the type and speed
of CPU, type and amount of memory for each memor y slot, BIOS
revision level, types of add-in PCI boards and components, certain revision numbers of hardware installed, etc. are automatically detected
and stored in the DMI pool, which is a par t of the mainboard's Plug
