POWER OFF CONTROL SOFTWARE
The motherboard design supports software power off Control feature
through the SMM code in the BIOS under Win95 operating system
environment. This is INTEL ATX form factor feature and you should use
ATX power supply.
First, you should connect the power switch cable (provided by the ATX
case Supplier) to the connector [ PW_ON ] on the motherboard. In the BIOS
screen of “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, choose “User Defined”(or
min power saving or Max power saving) in “POWER MANAGEMENT” and
choose “Yes” in “PM Control by APM”.
In Windows 95 the “ SHUT DOWN “ option , the computer’ s Power will
switch off automatically and put the PC in a suspend mode. A bunking power
light will indicate this. To restart the system , simply press the Power Button.
PACKAGING CHECK LIST
The motherboard comes securely packed in a gift box and shipping carton.
If any of the above items are missing or damaged , please contact your
supplier.
The motherboard contains:

MEMORY INSTALLATION
No jumper setting is necessary for DRAM setting, BIOS will check
DRAM type and size automatically. B684 motherboard contains 4 by
72-pin SIMM sockets (SIMM1,SIMM2,SIMM3,and SIMM4) or 2 by
168-pin DIMM socket (DIMM). SIMM module sockets are divided in
two banks: SIMM1, SIMM2 in one bank and SIMM3, SIMM4 in another
bank, minimum user has to install two DRAM SIMMs of the same kind
into one bank or install one DIMM into DIMM socket. B684
motherboard has table-free ( or auto-bank ) feature and user can install
SIMMs into any bank. It can support up to 3 banks as following:
Bank 0 : DIMM1 or (SIMM1+SIMM2)
Bank 1 : DIMM2 Bank 2 : (SIMM3+SIMM4)

Award BIOS Setup
Award BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type information is stored in
battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power
is turned off.
Entering Setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to
enter Setup. The other way to enter Setup is to power on the computer ,
when the below message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during
the POST (Power On Self Test), press <Del> key or simultaneously press
<Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys.
TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC OR
DEL KEY
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing
the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by
simultaneously press <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys. If you do not press the
keys at the correct time and the system does not boot , an error message will
be displayed and you will again be asked to,

Virus Warning
This category flashes on the screen. During and after system boots up, any
attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive will
halt the system and the following error message will appear, in the mean
time , you can run anti-virus programs to locate the problem.
!WARNING!

warning message to appear when anything attempts to access
the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempt to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
CPU Internal Cache/External Cache
These two categories speed up memory access. However, it depends on
CPU/chipset design. The default value is Enabled.
Enabled: Enabled cache
Disabled: Disabled cache
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.
Enabled: Enable quick POST
Disabled: Normal POST
Boot Sequence
This category determines which drive computer searches first for the hard
disk operation system (i.e., DOS).
A, C,SCSI: System will first search for floppy disk drive then second
search hard disk driver, then SCSI driver.
17
Page 18
B684
C,A,SCSI/ D,A,SCSI/ E,A,SCSI/ F,A,SCSI:
System will first search for IDE hard disk driver ( C: D: or E:
or F☺ then second search floppy disk driver then SCSI hard
disk driver.
SCSI,A,C: System will first search SCSI hard disk driver then second
search for floppy disk driver then IDE hard disk driver.
CDROM,C,A:
System will first search for the CDROM driver ( If the
CDROM has a bootable CD title.)and second search hard disk
driver then floppy disk driver .
C,CDROM,A:
System will first search for the hard disk driver and second
search for CDROM driver ( If the CDROM has a bootable CD
title,) then searches floppy disk driver.
LS120,C: System will first search LS120 disk driver and second search
for IDE hard disk driver.
Swap Floppy Drive
Users can enable this item so that the BIOS will see the hardware “Drive A:”
as “Drive B:”” , and hardware “Drive B:”” as “Drive A:””.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine if the Floppy disk drive installed is 40 or
80 tracks. 360 K type is 40 tracks while 720K, 1.2M and 1.44M drive type
as they are all 80 tracks.
Enabled: BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or
80 tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720K, 1.2M or
1.44M drive type as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled: BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track
number. Note that there will not be any warning message if
the drive installed is 360K.

Boot Up System Speed
It selects the default system speed – the speed that the system will run at
immediately after power up.
High:Set the speed to high
Low: Set the speed to low
Gate A20 Option
The Gate A20 Option default setting is fast.”. This is the optimum
setting for this mainboard.

750 : 750 msec
1000 : 1000 msec
Security Option
This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to
Setup.
System: The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied if
the correct password is not entered at the prompt.
Setup: The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied if the
correct password is not entered at the prompt.
Note: To disable security, select PASSWORD SETTING at Main Menu and
then you will be asked to enter password. Do not type anything and just

* Remark 1: All items mark with (*) in this menu, will be loaded with
predefined values as long as the item "Power Management" is not configured
to "User Defined"
These items are:
Item "System Doze", "System Standby" & "System Suspend"
# Remark 2: Although the item "HDD Power Down" is not controlled
by item "Power Management" in terms of timer value, the HDD (s) will not
power down if the global power management is disabled!

Enable/disable 2nd channel of PCI/IDE card.
It includes I/O port (170H~177H) and IRQ 15
assignment
PCI-AUTO
The BIOS will:
− scan for PCI IDE devices &
determine the location of the PCI
IDE device
PCIAUTO

F. Primary IDE INT#
Secondary IDE INT#AB
PCI-SLOT1
PCI-SLOT2
− assign IRQ 14 for primary IDE INT#
IRQ 15 for secondary IDE INT# for the
specified slot
ISA
− The BIOS will not assign any IRQs even
if PCI IDE card is found!
Because some IDE cards connect the
IRQ 14 & 15 directly from ISA slot through a
cord. (This cord is called Legacy Header)
To tell which INT# does the PCI IDE card is
using for its interrupts
Your computer vendor optimizes the other items, please do not modify them

to hardware problems. To load the BIOS Default values, press <Y> then
<Enter>.
Load Setup Default
