is to be used, be sure an internal modem card which s upports the func tion is used. Then
connect this header to the relevant connector on the m odem c ard, set “ Resume by Ring” to

Jumper Settings
There are some jumpers on the motherboard, they re present, clear CMOS jumper JCC,
enable keyboard password power-on function jumper JP2. Pin 1 for all jumpers are locate d
on the side with a thick wh ite line ( Pin1→ ), referring to the motherboard’s
silkscreen . Jumpers with three pins will be shown as to represent pin1&pin2
connected and t o represe nt pin2&pin3 connected.
Clear CMOS (JCC)
If you want to clear CMOS , unplug the AC power sup ply first, c lose JC C(pin1& pin2) once,
set JCC back to the normal status with pin2&pin3 con nected, then power on the system.

Save and exit, then power off your system. In this case, the power button’s power-on
function has been disabled. The only way to power up the system is to enter the correct
password. If you forget the password, clear CMOS and set it again. Refer to BIOS description on page 44 for detailed information.

Note: 1.If wanting to use this function, 5VSB line of the power supply should be
capable of delivering enough current (eg. 200mA) for all the devices con
nected to the keyboard port, or you can’t power up the system using the
keyboard.
2.If you set JP2 with pin2&pin3 closed, set “POW ER ON Function” to
BUTTON ONLY, don’t se t it to Password, or this will prevent you from
powering up your s ys tem .
3. If you encounter problems above, clear CMOS and set the jumper and
BIOS option properly again.
Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides three 168 pin 3.3V un-buffered DIMM sockets to support a
flexible memory size rangin g from 8 MB/384M B for SDRAM or from 8MB/768M B for ED O
memory. Both 66MHz/100 MHz SDR AM wit h SPD an d 66MH z EDO D IMMs are supported.
The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations.
Rules for populating a 440B X memory array:
Processors with 100MHz f ront-side bus shou ld be pa ired only with 100 MHz SDRAM.
Processors with 66MHz fro nt-side b us can be paired with either 66MHz or 100MHz
SDRAM.
Using the serial presence d etect (S PD) data structur e, progra mmed in to an E2PROM on
the DIMM, the BIOS can d etermine the SDR AM’s s ize and s peed.
The DRAM Timing register , which provides the DRAM speed g rade control for the entire
memory array, must be pro gramme d to use the timing of the slowest DR AMs ins talled.
Possible SDRAM DIMM m emory sizes are 8 MB, 16M B, 32M B, 64M B, 128MB in each DIMM
socket.
Possible EDO DIMM mem ory size s are 8M B, 16MB , 32MB , 64MB, 128MB, 256MB in each
DIMM socket.

Please read the notes belo w thorou ghly.
Note 1: The green function and the lock function can not be enabled at the same time.

Utility Support:
FLASH.EXE
This is a flash memory wri te/read utility used for the purpose o f updatin g your BIOS
when necessary. Before do ing so, please note:
We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encountering problems.
Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making
mistakes, resulting in a destroyed BIOS and a non-working s ystem.
When you are encounterin g problem s, for e xample, you find your system doesn ’t suppor t
the new CPU which is rele ased afte r our cur rent mot herboard , you ma y therefo re update
the BIOS.
Follow the steps exactly for a successful upgrade.
1. Create a bootable system floppy diskette, by ty ping For mat A:/s from the DOS pr ompt
under DOS6.xx or Window s 9x env ironmen t.
2. Copy FLASH.EX E from t he direct ory \Utility on the QDI Motherboard Utility CD onto
your new bootable diskette.
3. Download the up dated BIOS file from the Website (http://www.qdigrp.com). Please
be sure to download the suitable BIOS file for your mo therboa rd.
4. Uncompress the file down load, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) onto the bootable diskette,
and write down the checksum of this BIOS which is in cluded in readme file.
5. Reboot the syste m from the bootable diskette which you hav e created .
6. Then run the FLA SH utili ty at the A:\ promp t. During the proc ess, the system will
prompt : ‘Do you want to s ave the BIOS(Y/N)’ . If yo u type ‘Y ’, the s ystem will prompt
for the BIOS name. The sy stem will also display the checksum which should be
exactly the same as the ch ecksum you copied from th e readme file. Don’t turn off
power or reset the system until the BIOS upgrade has been completed.
Concerning how to run the FLASH utility, please refer to the following descriptions:
Usage: FLASH [BIOSfile] [/c[<command...>]][/n]

2. HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE, also Auto detect.
NORMAL
Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformation during accessing. The maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors for
NORMAL mode are 1024,16 and 63.
If the user sets his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be 528
megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode
A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The number of
cylinders, heads and sectors shown in setup may not be the number physically contained
in the HDD.
During HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address described by
sector, head and cylinder number into its own physical address inside the HDD. The
maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes.
LARGE mode
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in some cases,
users do not want LBA). The Award BIOS provides another alternative to support these
kinds of HDD.
BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) into recognizing the number of cylinders is less than 1024 by
dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2. A reverse transformation
process will be made inside INT13h in order to access the right HDD address.
Auto detect
If using Auto detect, the BIOS will automatically detect the IDE hard disk mode and set it as
one of the three modes.
3. Remark
To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some softwares involved which
are located in Award HDD Service Routine(INT13h).It may fail to access a HDD with LBA
(LARGE) mode selected if you are running under an Operating System which replaces the
whole INT 13h.
Boot with BIOS defaults
If you hav e made all th e changes to CM OS values a n d th e system ca n n o t boo t
with the C MOS values selected in setup, clea r CMOS a fte r po wer-down, then
power on ag a in . System will boot with BIOS de fault settin gs.
