Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
W ARNING!
1. Unplug your computer w hen working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded w rist strap before handling computer components. If y ou do not have one, touch both of y our hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the pow er supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the sy stem.
5. Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is sw itched off before you plug in or remove the ATX pow er connector on the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis…
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed y ou can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way y ou can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

DDR Introduction
high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and system integrators.
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving th e system performance bottle neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM w ill offer a superior solution and migration path from existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through readin g and writing at both the rising a nd falling edge of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, high­end PC's and value desktop SM A systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops and notebook applications.
DDR
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module verticallyinto the DIMM slots. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
M Reverse the installation processes when you want to
remove the DIMM module.
Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a

The BIOS determines the amount of extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU’s memory
address map.

C Quick Power On Self Test
This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the computer . If it is set to
Enable, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.
8Enabled Enable quick POST. (Default Value)
8Disabled Normal POST.
C Boot U p Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360 K type is
40 tracks; 720 K, 1.2 M and 1.44 M are all 80 tracks.
8Enabled BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine it is 40 or 80 tracks. Note
that BIOS can not tell from 720 K, 1.2 M or 1.44 M drive type as they are all 80tracks. (Default v alue)
8Disabled BIOS w ill not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track number. Note
that there will not be any w arning message if the drive installed is 360 K.
CInterrup t Mode
8APIC Through IOAPIC generate more IRQ for sy stem use.(Default value)
8PIC Use AT stantard IRQ controller to generate IRQ.
When y ou already hav e IOAPIC enable sy stem and want to upgrade the sy stem please note, since running an IOAPIC enabled OS (like Window s NT, Window s 2000, Windows XP...) system w ith none IOAPIC HW support w ill cause the system to hang. Follow ing are some situations users might run into:
1.An IOAPIC enabled OS and change the BIOS setting from IOAPIC to PIC, this w ill cause your system to hang.
CMemory Parity/ECC Check
This item will be av ailable w hen you use ECC memory.

C M PS Version Control For OS
This option allows user to set OS Multi Processors version. (Support Multi Processor Specification
