Installation Instruction

Enable keyboard password power-on function (JP2)

The motherboard provides the advanced keyboard password power-on function. When

wanting to use this function, set JP2 with pin1& pin2 closed. Otherwise, set JP2 with pin2 & pin3 closed for disabling this function.

Disable

Enable

JP2

In order to implement this function, set “POWER ON Function” to Password and enter the keyboard power-on password in the “INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS” section of the BIOS. 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 46 for detail information.

Note: 1.If wanting to use this function, 5VSB line of the power supply should be

capable of delivering 200mA, or the system can’t be powered up.

2.If you set JP2 with pin2 & pin3 closed, set “POWER ON Function” to BUTTON ONLY, don’t set it to Password, or this will prevent you from powering up your system.

3. If you encounter problems above, clear CMOS and set the jumper and BIOS option properly again.

Speaker/Line out selection ( JP10, JP11)

If you want to set the Line-out/Speaker-out jack as Line out, set JP10 & JP11 with pin2&pin3 closed. Otherwise, set JP10 & JP11 with pin1& pin2 closed for Speaker out.

Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides two 168 pin 3.3V un-buffered DIMM sockets to support a flexible memory size ranging from 8MB/256MB for SDRAM or from 8MB/512MB for EDO memory. Both 66MHz/100MHz SDRAM and 66MHz EDO DIMMs are supported. The following set of

rules allows for optimum configurations.

Rules for populating a 440ZX memory array:

l Pentium II processors with 100MHz front-side bus should be paired only with 100MHz

SDRAM. Processors with 66MHz front-side bus can be paired with either 66MHz or 100MHz SDRAM.

l NO registered DIMM support. l The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade control for the entire

memory array, must be programmed to use the timing of the slowest DRAMs installed.

l Possible SDRAM DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB in each DIMM

socket.

l Possible EDO DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB in each

DIMM socket.

SecurityEasy

There are two ways to prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system: System Password and SecurityEasy.

System Password

Set system password in the ” PASSWORD SETTING” section of the BIOS, and set the “Password Setting” to System in the “ BIOS FEATURES SETUP” section. You will be prompted for the password every time the system boots or any time you try to enter CMOS Setup. If the “Password Setting” is set as “ Setup” , you will be prompted for the password only when entering CMOS Setup.

SecurityEasy

The ZillioX 5 provides additional SecurityEasy function to protect the system from unauthorized entry or use.

l Push once the button connected to the two-pin header SLEEP. If the lock function is

disabled, this button is used as SLEEP button.

l When “ Keyboard Inactive Timer” is counted to the preset value-from 1 minute to 1

hour.

In the Lock status, the power switch and reset buttons are unresponsive, PS/2 mouse is locked, and the Keyboard is locked except for the SecurityEasy Password entering. You can preset the Video as blank in the LOCK status. The only way to exit the LOCK status is to enter the SecurityEasy Password with the keyboard. This means if you set the Lock function as enabled, you must also set the SecurityEasy Password.

Please read the notes below thoroughly.

Note 1: The Green function and the Lock function can not be enabled at the same time. Note 2: If the lock function is enabled, you must set the SecurityEasy password no more

than 6 characters.

Note 3: When entering the SecurityEasy Password to exit the LOCK status, use the

<Enter> key located on the alphabetic pad and not the <Enter> key located on the numeric pad.

BIOS Description

Utility Support:

FLASH.EXE

This is a flash memory write/read utility which can be used for the purpose of updating your BIOS when necessary. Before doing so, please note:

l We strongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encountering problems. l Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making

mistakes, resulting in a destroyed BIOS and a non-working system.

When you are encountering problems, for example, you find your system doesn’ t support the new CPU which is released after our current motherboard, you may therefore update the BIOS.

Follow the steps exactly for a successful upgrade.

1. Create a bootable system floppy diskette, type Format A:/s from the DOS prompt under DOS6.xx or Windows 9x environment.

2. Copy FLASH.EXE from the directory \Utility on the QDI Motherboard Utility CD onto your new bootable diskette.

3. Download the updated BIOS file from the Website (http://www.qdigrp.com) Please be sure to download the suitable BIOS file for your motherboard.

4. Uncompress the file download, copy the BIOS file (xx.bin) onto the bootable diskette, and note the checksum of this BIOS which is located in readme file.

5. Reboot the system from the bootable diskette created.

6. Then run the FLASH utility at the A:\ prompt. During the process, the system will prompt : ‘ Do you want to save the BIOS(Y/N)’ . If you type ‘ Y’ , the system will prompt for the BIOS name. The system will also display the checksum which should be exactly the same as the checksum you copy from the 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] FLASH [BiOSfile] [/g] /c: Flashing memory will clear previous settings. Default allows settings to remain. <command> function definition: c: clear CMOS; p: clear PnP; d: clear DMI.

Manual for ZillioX 5

Award BIOS Description

/n: programs BIOS without prompting. If this option is chosen:

Be sure your new BIOS is compatible with your MB. If not, the system will be damaged. /g: Retrieves BIOS file from BIOS ROM.

Examples: A:\FLASH.EXE BIOSfile.bin A:\FLASH.EXE BIOSfile.bin /cdpc/n A:\FLASH.EXE BIOSfile.bin /g

• BIOS setup will display all possible modes supported by the HDD

including NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.

• If HDD does not support LBA modes, no “ LBA” option will be shown.

• If number of physical cylinder is less than or equal to 1024,“ LARGE”

Award BIOS Description

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) that 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. Rem ark

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.

Power - On Boo t

If you have made all the changes to CMOS values and the system can not boot with the

CMOS values selected in Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF then ON or press the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart the system by simulta-

neously pressing < Ctrl >, < Alt > and < Del > keys.
