A TX12V Power Supply Connectors & Power Switch (POWER SW)

The PlatiniX 2 series of mainboards must use ATX12V power supply . Be sure to connect the
ATX 12V power supply plugs to the connectors in their proper orientation. The difference
between ATX12V power supply and ATX power supply is that ATX12V power supply
provides two additional power connectors: AUX power connector and +12V power con­nector.
The power switch (POWER SW) should be connected to a momentary switch. When
powering up your system, first turn on the mechanical switch of the power supply (if one
is provided), then push once the power switch. When powering off the system, you
needn’t turn off the mechanical switch, just

Wake-Up On LAN (WOL)

Through the Wake-Up On LAN function, a wake event occurring from the network can
wake up the system. If this function is to be used, please be sure an ATX12V power
supply of which 5VSB line is capable of delivering 720mA, and a LAN adapter which
supports this function is used. Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the
LAN adapter, set “Wake-Up by Ring/LAN” as Enabled in the “POWER MANAGEMENT
SETUP” section of the CMOS SETUP. Save and exit, then boot the operating system once
to make sure this function takes effect.

be sure an internal modem card which supports this function is used. Then connect this
header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set “Wake-Up by Ring/LAN” as
Enabled in the “Power Management Setup” section of the CMOS SETUP . Save and exit,
then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes effect.

CD_IN is a Sony standard CD audio connector, it can be connected to a CD-ROM drive
through a CD audio cable. The MODEM connector allows the onboard audio to interface
with a voice modem card with a similar connector. It allows connecting the mono_in (such
as a phone) or mono_out (such as a speaker) between the onboard audio and the voice
modem card. AUXIN allows you to receive stereo audio input from sound sources such as
a CD-ROM,TV tuner,or MPEG card.

Communication and Networking Riser Slot(CNR)

The maiboard provides this Communication and Networking Riser(CNR) interface which can
support audio and/or modem functions . Furthermore, it provides a LAN interface for network­ing functions. What its superiority compared with AMR is being able to support plug-and-play
function. Mechanically the CNR shares a PCI slot, thus when you insert the CNR card, the
neighboring PCI slot cannot be used.

CNR Slot

By using an audio codec, the AC’97 digital link providing by CNR allows for cost-effective,
high-quality, integrated audio on the platform. AC’97 digital link also allows several external
codecs to be connected to the ICH2. The digital link is expanded to support two or three
audio codecs for up to 6 channels of PCM audio output (full AC-3 decode) or a combination
of an audio and modem codec.

Jumper Settings

Jumpers are located on the motherboard, they represent, clear CMOS jumper JCC, enable
BIOS ProtectEasy function jumper JA V etc. Pin 1 of all jumpers are located on the side with
a thick white line ( Pin1→ ), refer to the motherboard’s silkscreen. Jumpers with
three pins will be shown as to represent pin1 & pin2 connected and to
represent pin2 & pin3 connected.

BIOS-ProtectEasy Jumper (JA V)

The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. If the jumper JAV is set as closed, you will

be unable to flash the BIOS to the mainboard. However in this status, the system BIOS is
protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.

JAV

Under special conditions, the jumper “JAV” should be set as OPEN. For further details, refer

to the “BootEasy” part of appendix.

Setting the jumper JA V as open(default), meanwhile disabling the “Flash Write Protect” item

from “Advanced BIOS Features ” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOS to the Flash ROM.

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,

memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However , setting jumper JA V as closed makes flashing BIOS and
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as open when changing the sys­tem hardware configuration, or the error message “Unknown Flash Type” will be displayed
on the screen, and DMI information may not be updated.

Overclocking Jumper Setting (JFS1)(optional)

Jumper JFS1 provides users with CPU overclocking feature. The host bus speed can be
set as 100x4/133x4MHz or AUTO. If CPU FSB is set as Auto, the system detects the CPU

FSB (front side bus) automatically. The table below is for your reference.

CPU FSB AUTO 100x4MHz 133x4MHz

JFS1 1-2 2-3 OPEN

(default)

“1-2”: pin1 & pin2 closed
“2-3”: pin2 & pin3 closed

Whether or not your system can be overclocked depends on your processor’s capability .
Whether the processor is bus ratio locked or unlocked should also be taken into account.
For bus ratio unlocked processor, this overclocking feature can be implemented by setting
CPU FSB as 100x4/133x4MHz, meanwhile adjusting the bus ratio (multiplier) in “CPU
SpeedEasy Setup” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup.
You can also adjust the CPU frequency by running StepEasy(optional). We do not guaran­tee the overclocking system will be stable.

Warning: Be sure your selection is right. CPU over speed will be dangerous! We
will not be responsible for any damages caused.

CPU well. If the jumpers are set as Auto, the system will detect the CPU core voltage
automatically .
