Motherboard Feature Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your BIL1A – Pro-Motherboard. The
BIL1A motherboard will increase your computer system into a full-function
position and provide your system with stable performance.
The BIL1A motherboard is an ATX board measuring 305mm by
180mm and uses a 4-layer printed circuit board. This board features a
PPGA370ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) processor socket. This socket can be
installed with the test generation of Intel the original Pentium processors. The
motherboard supports a system bus of 66 MHz that permits the use of
inexpensive 66 MHz memory chips. Three DIMM sockets are provided for a
maximum memory capacity of 384MB. The motherboard has an integrated
3D-sound system, and the Intel chipset supports an AGP graphics card. Four
PCI slots and two ISA slots are provided for system expansion. In the BIOS
part, the anti-virus is built-in. It can keep the system away from the boot virus
and can always maintain a clean environment. This is a powerful platform
that leverages the low-cost/high-performance features of the new generation
Celeron processors. You will feel the convenience when you use it.

Socket 370 CPU

This socket can be installed with the latest generation of Intel Celeron
processor that are packaged in a Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA), just like the
original Pentium processors.

The difference between Socket 370 and Socket 7 is the amount of Pin.
There is an added Pin-circle on Socket 370. And the amount of pin will make
the socket 370 a better performance processor.

It is a low-price and high-quality processor, giving you satisfaction.

1.3 POWER OFF CONTROL SOFTWARE

The motherboard design supports software power off Control feature
through the SMM code in the BIOS under Win98/95 operating system
environment. It is an ATX form factor and you should use ATX power
supply.

First, you should connect the power switch cable (provided by the
ATX/AT case Supplier) to the connector [ PB_BT ] on the motherboard
(Please refer the following illustration). 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”.

Note: BIOS Setup. Please refer the “Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup”

PB_BT

In Windows 98/95 under the “ SHUT DOWN “ option , the computer’ s
power will switch off automatically and put the PC in a suspend mode. This
will be indicated by a bunking power light. To restart the system , simply
press the Power Button.

2.3-2 Memory installation

No jumper setting is necessary for DRAM setting, BIOS will check
DRAM type and size automatically. This motherboard contains 3 by 168-pin
DIMM socket (DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3). This motherboard 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 384MB. Each
bank provides 64-bit wide data path. You can install 100MHz SPD RAM or
66MHz SD RAM into this motherboard, select by your CPU clock.

If you want to install more memory and there are no sockets available,
you must remove some installed modules and replace them with the upgrade
modules.

If you have to do this, make sure to identify what type of memory is
already installed. In some cases, there may be a mix of module types. You
can tell this by checking the configuration screen that appears while the
computer is starting up. Press the pause key to temporarily interrupt the start­up. Press the screen is visible so that you have more time to read it. When
you’ re done press any key to resume.

Remove the lowest performance and smallest size modules and replace
them with the upgrade.

How to Install DIMM Modules on Motherboard

1. The SDRAM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed

with cut-outs so that they can only be installed correctly. Check that the
cut-outs on the DIMM edge connector matches the notches in the SDRAM
socket. That is before inserting the DIMM, make sure the pin1 of the
DIMM matches with the pin1 on the DIMM socket.

2. Push the latches on each side of the SDRAM socket down.

3. Install the DIMM into the socket and press it carefully but firmly down so

that it seats correctly. The latches at either side of the socket will be
levered upwards and latch on the edges of the DIMM when it is installed
correctly.

How to Remove DIMM Modules from Motherboard

1. Press the holding the latches at either side of the socket outward to release

the DIMM.

2. Gently pull the DIMM out of the socket.

2.3-4 Installing the interface card

This section explains how to install new interface cards on your
motherboard. It covers installing ISA cards, PCI cards and AGP card. There
are seven expansion card slots on motherboard, One AGP slot, four PCI slots
and two ISA slots. When you get an expansion card, it will come with
instructions on how to install it, so this section covers relevant information
from the motherboard side only.

AGP Card and Slot

The AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot is for an AGP display card.
With the Optimum Settings loaded in the BIOS Setup Utility the AGP has a
default memory aperture of 4MB, expandable to 256MB.

PCI Cards and Slots

With very few exceptions, any PCI expansion card you are likely to get
will be Plug and Play compliant. If you are using an Operating System that
supports PnP, such as Windows 98/95, you should be able to follow the
installation instructions that come with the card and have the Operating
System automatically recognize and configure the card.

The PCI slots on the motherboard all have “Bus Master” capability. For
installed PCI cards to use this feature an Operating system specific Bus
Master software driver that comes with this motherboard must be installed
under your Operating System. These drivers are located on the support Disk.

ISA Cards and Slots

ISA expansion cards often use system resources in the form of IRQs and
DMA channels. Newer cards that comply with the Plug and Play (PnP)
standard are designed to allow the Operating System to automatically
configure system resources. Cards that do not support PnP may require
manual configuration of both the card hardware and settings in the CMOS
Setup Utility.

If you have a PnP compliant card to install there should be little to do
other than follow the installation instructions. If, however, you have a non­PnP card and it requires configuring system resources, you may need to setup
the configuring expansion card resources in CMOS Setup.

Chapter 3

Award BIOS Setup

This chapter explains how to use and modify the BIOS setup utility that
is stored on the motherboard. The setup utility stores information about the
motherboard components, and the configuration of other devices that are
connected to it. The system uses this information to test and initialize
components when it is started up, and to make sure everything runs property
when the system is operating.

The setup utility is installed with a set of default values. The default
values are designed to ensure that the system will operate adequately. You
will probably have to make changes to the setup utility whenever you add
new components to your system such as new disk drives. You may be able to
generate increased performance by changing some of the timing values in the
setup, but this can be limited by the kind of hardware you are using, for
example the rating of your memory chips. In certain circumstances, the
system may generate an error message which asks you to make changes to
the setup utility. This happens when the system finds an error during the
POST (power on self test) that it carries out at start up.

Starting the Setup Utility

You can only start the setup utility shortly after the computer has been
turned on. A prompt appears on the computer display which says " Press
DEL to run Setup”. When you see this prompt press the Delete key, and the
system will start the setup utility and display ft main menu of the utility.

Using the Setup Utility

When you press the Delete key to start setup, the main menu of the
utility appears.

The main menu of the setup utility shows a list of the options that are
available in the utility. A highlight show which option is currently selected.
You can use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options.

~28~

BIL1A

When an option is highlighted, you can execute the option by pressing the
Enter key. Some options leads to dialog boxes which ask you verify that that
you wish to execute that option. You usually answer these dialogs by typing
Y for yes and N for no.

Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask for more information.
Setting the User Password or Supervisor Password has this kind of dialog
box.

3.5 Power Management

This option displays a table of items, which lets you control the power
management of the system. Modern operating systems take care of much of
the routine power management. This motherboard supports ACPI (advanced
configuration and power interface).

This system supports three levels of power-saving modes; doze mode,
standby mode, and suspend mode. Standby mode uses less power than doze
mode and suspend mode uses the least power.

The power management in the setup utility lets you specify a timeout for
each of the power-saving modes and a timeout for a hard disk drive power

~41~

BIL1A

down. A timeout, means a period of time when the system (or the hard disk
drive) is inactive. If the timeout completes, the system power-saving mode
will execute, or the hard disk drive will power down.

You can resume from the power-saving modes by carrying out any of the
activities which are enabled in the list Reload Global Timer Events. If the
hard disk has been powered down it will automation resume to full power
when an access to the hard disk is required (this takes just a few seconds).

Default: No

If you have installed a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95 or 98,
you can change this item to Yes. When the item is set to Yes you can use the Device
Manager utility in the operating system to make changes to the configuration of
expansion cards.

Resources Controlled By

Default: Manual

You should leave this item at the default Auto. If you find that you cannot get
a particular expansion card to work properly, you might be able to solve the
problem by changing this item to Manual, and defining the characteristics of
the card in the new items which appear.
If you change this item to Manual, the display will list a series of items that

~46~

BIL1A

allow you to define the assignments of the system interrupt lines (IRQS) and
Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels. As a default, these items are set to
PCI/ISA PnP. If you install an ISA Bus card that does not support PNP, and it
requires a special IRQ and DMA, you can modify the list of assignments.
Change the values of the IRQ and DMA that are required to Legacy ISA.

Reset Configuration Data

Default: Disabled

If you enable this item and restart the system, any PNP configuration data
stored in the BIOS setup will be cleared from memory. New updated
configuration data will be created.

IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15
DMA 1/3/5/6/7

This item allows you to determine the IRQ/DNM assigned to the ISA bus and
is not available to any PCI slot. Choices are Legacy ISA and PCI/ISA PnP.

PCI IDE IRQ MAP To

Default: PCI-AUTO

Primary IDE INT#
Secondary IDE INT#

This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in
use. By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA device rather
than a PCI controller. The most apparent difference is the type of slot being
used. If you have equipped your INT# system with a PCI controller, changing
this allows you to specify which slot holds the controller and which PCI
interrupt (A,B,C,D) is associated with the connected hard disk. This setting
refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions. Since
each IDE controller supports two separate hard drives, you can select the
INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt
than the secondary as described in " lot x Using INT# “above. Select “PCI
Auto” allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk
system is configured.

Used MEM base addr

This item allows you to determine which basic address will not be occupied by PCI
card and leave these address for some special ISA card used only.

Choices are C800, CCOO, DOOO, D400, D800, DCOO.
