Caution

1. Be sure to add some Silicone Grease between the Socket A processor and FAN to keep them fully contact, meanwhile to meet the heat sink requirement.

2. because the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard, we recommend that you should have an AMD authorized fan to prevent overheating.

3. The AC power status of the system is indicated by the red LED under the three DIMM sockets. If the LED is on , adding or removing device like SDRAM memory is porhibited.

Introduction

Introduction to New Features

BIOS-ProtectEasy

The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe viruses such as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the mainboard. If the BIOS has been damaged, the system will be unable to boot. We provide the following solution which protects the system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.

There are two choices which can implement this function.

1. Set the jumper (JAV) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.

2. Set the jumper (JAV) as open, meanwhile set “BIOS-ProtectEasy” as Enabled in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup. In this way , the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the DMI information can be updated.

Refer to page 14 for detailed information on jumper setting, and page 22 for related BIOS setting.

Ultra A T A/66

According to the previous A TA/IDE hard drive data transfer protocol, the signaling way to send data was in synchronous strobe mode by using the rising edge of the strobe signal. The Ultra A TA/33 protocol doubles the burst transfer rate from 16.6MB/s to 33.3MB/s, by using both the rising and falling edges of the strobe signal, this time Ultra AT A/66 doubles the Ultra AT A burst transfer rate once again (from 33.3MB/s to 66.6MB/s) by reducing setup times and increasing the strobe rate. The faster strobe rate increases EMI, which cannot be eliminated by the standard 40-pin cable used by ATA and Ultra ATA. To eliminate this increase in EMI, a new 40-pin, 80-conductor cable is needed. This cable adds 40 additional ground lines between each of the original 40 ground and signal lines. The additional 40 lines help shield the signal from EMI, reduce crosstalk and improves signal integrity.

Ultra ATA/33 introduced CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check), a new feature of IDE that provides data integrity and reliability. Ultra A T A/66 uses the same process. The CRC value is calculated by both the host and the hard drive. After the host-request data is sent, the host sends its CRC to the hard drive, and the hard drive compares it to its own CRC value. If the hard drive reports errors to the host, then the host retries the command containing the CRC error.

Ultra ATA/66 technology increases both performance and date integrity . However there are basically five requirements for your system to run in Ultra ATA/66 mode:

1. The system board must have a special Ultra AT A/66 detect circuit, such as

KinetiZ 7T mainboard.

2. The system BIOS must also support Ultra A T A/66.

3. The operating system must be capable of DMA transfers. Win95 (OSR2),

Win98 and WindowsNT are capable.

4. An Ultra ATA/66 capable, 40-pin, 80-conductor cable is required.

5. Ultra AT A/66 compatible IDE device such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive.

Introduction Chapter 1

PC-133 Memory

PC133 SDRAM Unbuffered DIMM defines the electrical and mechanical requirements for 168-pin, 3.3 Volt, 133MHz, 64/72-bit wide, Unbuffered Synchronous DRAM Dual In-Line Memory Modules (SDRAM DIMMs). Relatively , the peak bandwidth of PC-133 memory is the 33% higher than PC-100 memory. These latest SDRAMs are necessary to meet the enhanced 133MHz bus speed requirement.

Suspend to RAM

Suspend to RAM is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0 specification, which makes a PC’s power consumption drop to the lowest possible level and enables quick wakeup. When the system is in Suspend-to-RAM status, the system context is maintained in system memory, the system consumes only a small fraction of the power used for full operation. Instead of shutting down the system to save power when not in use and then having to reboot later, Suspend-to-RAM solution enables the system to quickly wake up, restoring all applications and features, enabling operation in a few seconds.

To implement this function, the following requirments are essential:

1. Power supply requirements: The current of 5VSB line of the power supply should be more than 0.75A.

2. Set the Jumper J13 with pin1&pin2 closed. Refer to page 13 for detailed information.

3. The BIOS option “ACPI function” should be enabled, and “ACPI Suspend Type” should

be set as S3 in AWARD BIOS CMOS setup. Refer to page 28 for detailed information.

4. An ACPI-enabled operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000 family is needed. Navigate to the CD-ROM drive from the MS-DOS Command Prompt and enter the following from the Win98 directory on the CD:

D:\SETUP /P J (This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device driver letter is D:) Windows 98 will be installed with ACPI enabled. For Windows 98 SE and Windows 2000, just install them directly.

5. Three ways to enter Suspend-to-RAM status under ACPI-enabled Windows 98:

l Click Start -> Shut down -> Standby to enable the system to enter Suspend-to-

RAM status.

l Click Start -> Setup -> Control Panel -> Power Management -> Advanced and

choose Standby item, the system will enter Suspend-to-RAM status when you press power button.

l From Power Management Properties in Control Panel, set the latency time in

System Standby, the system will enter Suspend-to-RAM status when time out.

The same ways used to power up the system can be used to wake up the system from Suspend-to-RAM status. For example, pushing the power button, through the Wake-onLAN, Wake-on-Modem function or RTC Alarm.
