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.

MEMORY INSTALLATION
No jumper setting is necessary for DRAM setting, BIOS will check
DRAM type and size automatically. B686 main board contains 3 by
168-pin DIMM sockets (DIMM1,DIMM2,and DIMM3) . B686 main
board has table-free ( or auto-bank ) feature and user can install DIMM
into any bank. The three DIMMs Sockets for system memory
expansion from 8MB to 384 MB. Each bank provides 64-bit wide data
path.

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.

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.
19
Page 22
B686
C,A,SCSI/ D,A,SCSI/ E,A,SCSI/ F,A,SCSI:

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.

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

− 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

Load BIOS Default
When you access "Load BIOS Default", the following message appears:
Load BIOS Default (Y/N) ?N
The BIOS Default values are the "worst case" default, and are the most stable
values for the system. Use them if the system is performing erratically due
to hardware problems. To load the BIOS Default values, press <Y> then
<Enter>.
Load Setup Default
When you access "Load Setup Default", you are shown the following
message:
Load Setup Default (Y/N) ?N
The Setup Default values represent the "best case" defaults, and should
provided optimum system performance. To load the Setup Default values,
press <Y> then <Enter>.
Supervisor / User Password Setting
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password
again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection
and not enter a password.
If you select System at Security Option of BIOS Features Setup Menu, you
will be prompted for the password every time the system is rebooted or
anytime you try to enter Setup. If you select Setup at Security Option of

IDE HDD Auto Detection
This feature allows you to check all the information on your hard disk
formation. When you access "IDE HDD Auto Detection", the system
executes auto detection.
At the prompt, it represents all the information on your HDD, and you are
asked:
Do you accept this drive C: (Y/N) ?
1 If you accept the test result, press [Y] then [Enter] and the result is
saved, then the system continues to detect another HDD.
2 If not, press [N] then [enter] and the system continues to detect another
HDD.

Winbond W83781D Setup Guide
The w83781D supports 3 Temperature Resister Sensors , voltage detection,
and fan speed sensor control.
1. 3 Temperature Resister Sensors:
a. RT2: This function is the CPU’s temperature sensor.
b. RT1/RT3: These functions are the temperature sensor for the surrounded
PC environment.
c. You can connect the temperature resister wire to the RT2 socket in order
to sensor the CPU’ s temperature, when you have placed the
temperature resister wire , tape the wire on top of the CPU heat sink.
d. You can connect the temperature resister wire to the RT1 socket in order
to control the system fan (JP9),when over temperature 60 degree
(default),the fan will turn on.
e. If you put the resister on top of RT1,RT2,RT3, you will be able to read
the temperature on W83781D AP.
2. Fan speed sensor control:
a. JP2 is the CPU’ s Fan speed sensor control.
b. JP9 is the system Fan.
c. JP2 and JP9 is an optional function.
3. Voltage detection:
You can see the Voltage detection on W83781D AP.
