This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap
before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage the system's components.
Jumpers
1.4.1 JP1: Clear CMOS Jumper
The "Clear CMOS" function is used when you are unable boot your system and need to reset the
BIOS settings (CMOS settings) back to the manufacturer's original settings. This is also a way to
reset the system password if you have forgotten it.
JP1 Assignment
Note: "Closed" means putting a jumper cap onto two adjacent header pins.
1. Turn off your system and disconnect the AC power cable.
Pin 1-2 Closed

1.4.30 DDRII1/ DDRII2: Memory Installation
The PS960GLE/ PS965GME provides the DDR II SO-DIMM socket which allows you to install
200-pin SO-DIMM.
Memory Installation Steps
1. Match the notch on the bottom of the DIMM module with the corresponding pattern in the
DIMM slot. This will ensure that the module will be inserted with the proper orientation.
Now the chips or pins at the bottom of the DIMM module are still visible.
2. Lower the DIMM module into the DIMM Slot until the chips or pins at the bottom of the
DIMM module are hidden.
3. Press the DIMM module backward firmly using both thumbs until the module snaps into
place. Do not use excessive force.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the remaining DIMM slots.
＊ The pictures above are for reference only. Your actual installation may vary
slightly from the pictures.。

2.3 Main Menu
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s.
The BIOS provides for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It
also adds password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset
controlling the entire system.
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and
settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility.
When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del>
key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you a little bit late press the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking
the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the “Reset” button or
simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the
system Off and back On again.
The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and
<PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit. When you enter the Setup utility,
the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from
various setup functions and exit choices.

2.3.1 Standard CMOS Features
Include all the adjustable items in standard compatible BIOS.

“Standard CMOS Features” allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your
computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU card is already installed
in a working system, you will not need to select this option.
You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware
configurations, such as onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory
was lost or damaged.
