1.3 COLOR CODING FOR PC99 CONNECTORS
The color scheme is a careful balance of a number of criteria aimed at
making the PC easier for the consumer to understand and set up. The colorcoding of connectors has proven to be an effective tactic in helping end users
associate the peripheral connector with its mate on either the CPU or monitor.
It is expected that standard industry icons and possibly the physical shape of
the connector overloads themselves can also contribute to the "obviousness"
of a first-time set up.
PC99 Connector Guidelines
The following are the primary criteria established by the design team to
make the selection of the colors:
1. PCs are often set up in low light conditions. Therefore, use vibrant
colors wherever possible.
2. About 4% of people have some level of red/green color blindness.
Avoid using red and green together in situations where shape, size, or
labeling can be confused.
3. With older age, the eye's cornea may yellow. For this reason, similar
connectors should use colors that are different in ways other than their
yellow content.
4. Color selection should be considerate of cultural, social, and
psychological meaning. In some cases, related industries have
established a certain level of standardization of color coding (for
example, red/white/yellow in consumer electronics) that should also
be considered when making the final selection.
5. Colors should be easily discernable when used on small labels on the
backside of a CPU.
6. Try not to duplicate colors, even if connectors are obviously different,
for the sake of communication in user assistance collateral or phone
support calls.
7. Be sensitive to the overall impression of a personal computer and its
aesthetic intentions. Realize these colors will be used on PCs with
housings that could range in color value from almost white to black.

1.4 POWER OFF CONTROL SOFTWARE
The motherboard design supports the software power off Control feature
through the SMI code in the BIOS under Win98/95 operating system
environment. It is an ATX form factor, so you should use ATX power
supply.
First, connect the power switch cable (provided by the ATX/AT case
Supplier) to the connector [ PS_BT ] on the motherboard (Please refer to 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”.

2.3-2 Memory installation
No jumper setting is necessary for DRAM setting; BIOS will check
DRAM type and size automatically. This motherboard contains 2 by 168-pin
DIMM socket (DIMM1, DIMM2). The motherboard has a table-free (or
auto-bank) feature; the user can install DIMM into any bank. The two DIMM
Sockets permit system memory expansion from 8MB to 256MB. Each bank
provides a 64-bit wide data path. You can install 100MHz SPD RAM or
66MHz SD RAM into the motherboard, using your CPU clock to make the
selection.
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, be sure to identify what type of memory is already
installed. In some cases, there may be a mix of module types. You can
confirm this by checking the configuration screen that appears while the
computer is starting up. Press the pause key to temporarily interrupt the startup so that you have more time to read the screen. When you’ re done, press
any key to resume.
Remove the lowest performance and smallest size modules and replace
them with the upgrades.

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 cannot be installed incorrectly. Check that the
cut-outs on the DIMM edge connector match the notches in the SDRAM
socket. In other words, before inserting the DIMM, make sure the pin1 of
the DIMM matches with the pin1 on the DIMM socket.
2. Push down the latches on each side of the SDRAM socket.
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.

2.3-3 How to install the CPU
Prepare the motherboard by installing the supplied Slot 1 CPU, then
install the CPU according to the instructions supplied. Complete the
processor installation by installing the supplied heat-sink support, and
connecting the heat sink power cable to the motherboard connector.
Referential Steps of installing the Slot 1 CPU
This part is only for CPU installation. Regarding to the heat-sink part, please
refer the instructions supplied.
1. Inspect the area around Slot1, verify the position of four aroundsockets, and then locate the small protruding rectangular tab on the side
of Slot1 (see diagram).
2. Examine the CPU Retention and attachments. There are three sets of
attachments: 1. The stand itself. 2. The CPU locking caps (two). 3.
The plastic screws (four).

3. Once the above two steps have been completed, slot the CPU Retention
into Slot1. Pull up the CPU stays on both side of the CPU Retention so
they are horizontal, at an angle of 90°. Then the side of the CPU
Retention with no mark on it and the side of Slot1 with the small
rectangular tab should be on the same side.
! The CPU Retention has
to go in a particular direction.
Make sure that it is the right wa
round before slotting it in. Do no
force it in, otherwise you ma
damage the motherboard and
CPU Retention.
4. Ensure that the CPU Retention has been slotted all the way in, then
screw the four plastic screws into the sockets on each side of Slot1 to
make sure that the CPU Retention is fixed firmly in position.
~30~
Page 32
BIZ1Aseries
5. Slide the CPU slowly into Slot1 along the two sides of the CPU
Retention.
Note: Some Slot 1 processors with different packing maybe need the caps to
let them be fixed. So if it need the caps during installing Slot 1 CPU,
please follow this step: “ Fix the CPU locking caps onto the two
ends of the CPU stays ”.
6. Connect the CPU Fan head to the CPU Fan connector on the
motherboard, and make sure that the CPU has been fixed firmly onto
the motherboard. You have now completed assembly.
~31~
Page 33
BIZ1Aseries
SLOT 1 CPU Disassembly/Replacement Procedures
1. Move the protruding part on top of the CPU locking caps gently
outwards, so that the locking caps come off.
2. Pull the CPU Fan connector off the motherboard, and then gently pull
the CPU out from Slot1.
3. If you need to install another CPU, follow the instructions for Slot1
CPU installation given above.
CPU & Power Supply Fan Connectors (3-pin FanPWR)
These connector support cooling fans of 500mAMP (6WATT) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard
heat sink(s) instead of expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer,
the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while
the black should be ground. Connect the fan’ s plug to the board taking into
consideration the polarity of this connector.
The “Rotation” signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with
rotation signal.
!
The CPU and motherboard will overheat if there is no airflow
across the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the
motherboard and the CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used.

2.3-4 Installing the Motherboard
The BIZ1Aseries motherboard complies with the specifications for an ATX
board, so you can also install this kind of board into a full-size ATX case.
Some features on the motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on
the motherboard to indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that
your case supports all the features required. The BIZ1A
can support one or two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives.
Ensure that your case has sufficient power and space for all the drives that
you intend to install.
series motherboard
! Caution: Make sure that you have already installed the system
board components like the CPU and memory, and have set the appropriate
jumpers before you proceed.
2.3-5 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 the 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
for the motherboard 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.
~33~
Page 35
BIZ1Aseries
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.
2.3-6 Installing Accessory Cables
This section describes how to connector the accessory cables that
motherboard or system housing supports. In the case of ATX, there is no need
to use a bracket to extend the connectors to the rear panel, so here we will
discuss only the installation instructions for Floppy, IDE. Power supply and
Front Panel switch/LED cables.
! Caution: Make sure that the power supply is OFF before
connecting or disconnecting any bracket or cable.
ATX Power Cable
The 20-pin ATX power cable supports 5V standby current and soft
power-on switch. The soft power switch can be either momentary or toggle

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 " PressDEL 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 shows which option is currently selected.
You can use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options.

Default: 60OC/140OF
When the system temperature up to 60OC/140OF, it will be shutdown.
Note:
The items on the right side of the Chipset Features option are
concerned with monitoring certain temperatures, voltages, and so on in
your system. These items do not function unless you have installed an
optional system-monitoring clip on your motherboard.
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
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.
~51~
Page 53
BIZ1Aseries
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).

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
~56~
Page 58
BIZ1Aseries
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.
Default: N/A
