1.11 Installing the CPU

The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the CPU. As showing in
the picture as below, loose the screw first before inserting the CPU.
Place the CPU into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of
the CPU corresponding with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the
CPU has slide into the socket, lock the screw.

Make sure that heat sink of the CPU top surface is in complete contact to
avoid the CPU overheating problem.
If not, it would cause your system or CPU to be hanged, unstable, damaged.

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility.
When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated.
Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If
you a little bit late press the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will
continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup.
If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset”
button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You
can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again.
The following message will appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to
quit. When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions
and exit choices.

3.2 BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer sys­tem’s. The BIOS provides for a standard device such as disk drives, serial
ports and parallel ports. It also adds password protection as well as special
support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

3.3 Standard CMOS Features

“Standard CMOS Features” allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and
error handling. If the CPU card is already installed in a working system, you
will not need to select this option.
You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change
your system hardware configurations, shch as onboard battery fails, or the
configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

Date

The date format is: Day : Sun to Sat
Month : 1 to 12

CPU L1/ L2/ L3 Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory).
CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not
all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory.
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from
the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU.
These allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache
function.
