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 compo nents.

Memory

The SO-DIMM slots are intended for memory modules.
DDR3 SO-DIMM Slot
Installing Memory Modules
The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only 󰘰t in the
1. right orientation.
Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until
2. the golden 󰘰nger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The slot clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seated.
Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM
3. slot clips at the sides.
Important
You can barely see the golden nger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the DIMM slot.
To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into
the DIMM1 rst.

Connector

Serial ATA Connector: SATA0, SATA1
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector can connect to one Serial ATA device.
Important
Please do not fold the SATA cable into a 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data loss may occur during transmission.
IDE Connector: IDE1
This connector supports IDE hard disk drives, optical disk drives and other IDE devices.
Important
If you install two IDE devices on the same cable, you must congure the drives separately to master / slave mode by setting jumpers. Refer to IDE device’s docu­mentation supplied by the vendors for jumper setting instructions.

CompactFlash Socket: CF1
This socket is provided for CompactFlash (CF) cards.
Fan Power Connector: CPU_F1, SYSFAN1
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When con­necting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and 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 onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take ad­vantage of the CPU fan control.

Entering Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process. When the message below appears on the screen, press <DEL> or <F2> key to enter Setup.
Press <DEL> or <F2> to enter SETUP
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <De lete> keys.
Important
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.
Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOS ver
• sion. It is usually in the format:
A96D9IMS V1.0 063010 where:
1st digit refers to BIOS maker as A = AMI, W = AWARD, and
P = PHOENIX.
2nd - 5th digit refers to the model number.
6th digit refers to the chipset as I = Intel, N = NVIDIA, A = AMD and
V = VIA.
7th - 8th digit refers to the customer as MS = all standard customers.
V1.0 refers to the BIOS version.
063010 refers to the date this BIOS was released.

Hyper-Threading
The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instruc tions simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Execute Disable Bit
Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of mali
cious “buffer overow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating
system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execu­tion, preventing damage or worm propagation.

Boot

Quiet Boot
This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes sages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.
When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages.
When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo.
Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a suf
cient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS
feature for a faster boot-up time.
Fast Boot
Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.
Bootup NumLock State
This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.
Option ROM Messages
This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is ini tialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of op­tional ROM.
