Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow the
installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not
work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the
components.

240-pin, 1.8V
Installing DDR2 Modules
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected
to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must
use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan

Important
1.The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are under
continuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be held for
reference only.
2.Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOS
version. It is usually in the format:
P9802VMS V1.0 011507 where:
1st digit refers to BIOS maker as A = AMI, W = AWARD, and P =
PHOENIX.
2nd - 5th digit refers to the model number.

BIOS Setup
PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
When set to [Yes], BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VGA,

like Windows 98. When set to [No], BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. So,
select [Yes] if your operating system is Plug & Play aware.
Reset Configuration Data
The ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) NVRAM (Non-volatile Random
Access Memory) is where the BIOS stores resource information for both PNP
and non-PNP devices in a bit string format. When the item is set to [Enabled], the
system will reset ESCD NVRAM right after the system is booted up and then set
the setting of the item back to [Disabled] automatically.
Resources Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of
the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means
absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such
as Windows® 98/2000. If you set this field to [Manual], choose specific resources by going into each sub-menu that follows this field.
IRQ Resources
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used.
The settings determine if BIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The
available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs
3-19
MS-9802 Mainboard
must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to
reserve the IRQ by assigning an [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is
configured by BIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as
[Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to
the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices.
Important
IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices.
When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals
this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating
system is ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device.
