Step 1

CPU Installation:

This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4/Celeron Socket 478 series CPU.
Please follow the steps as follows to finish CPU installation.

Note the CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever to 90-degree angle.

CPU socket lever up to
90-degree angle

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU

upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, and insert the CPU into the

socket.

CPU Pin 1 and cut edge

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.

Note: The CPU might be
damaged if you do not match
the CPU socket Pin 1 and cut
edge well.

4. Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processors require a set of heatsink and fan to cool

down the processor. You need to purchase a heatsink and fan if they are not

bundled with your CPU. Required is that install the set and plug its cable

in the CPU fan power connector. Note that there are kinds of CPU fan

connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports a hardware monitoring

function, a 3-pin fan power connector can have your system detect the

CPU fan's speed. A CPU fan with a 2-pin or 4-pin fan power connector

does not support the detection of the CPU fan's speed, and must directly

be connected to the system's power supply unit.

- 13 -

Step 2.

Set Jumpers

The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of
this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you
require special adjustments as any of the following cases:

Clear CMOS
IEEE1394 Setting (AB60R Only)
RAID Setting (AB60R Only)

For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the
default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with the mainboard
configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for opti­mum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize
their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information
on how to configure your mainboard manually.

Step 3

Install DDR SDRAM System Memory

To install memory, insert DDR-SDRAM memory module(s) in any one or two
DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in
the DIMM banks if they are not properly oriented. After the module is fully
inserted into the DIMM bank, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to
lock the module in place.

- 14 -

Step 4

Install Internal Peripherals in System Case

Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the
computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/
HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.
This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard de­scribed below.

To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:

1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions

provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and CD-ROM, have to

set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you install

more than one device of each kind.)

2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal

peripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. Note that the

cable should be oriented with its colored stripe (usually red or magenta)

connected to pin#1 both on the mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on

the device as well.

3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit

to the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is

directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.

- 15 -

Step 5

Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis

1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions

both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose

correct mounting holes, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the

mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.

2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between

the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the

mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system chassis

and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shorts between the

board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer case is

already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to

attach the mainboard.)

Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more

attachment points to install mounting studs and then fix the
mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes, then make sure to
install at least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.

Step 12

First Time System Boot Up

To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you
may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your
system for the first time.

1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or

others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.

2. Turn on the system power.

3. First, you must use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the

hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary parti-

tion does not use all of the available hard disk space. If you choose to

add an extended partition, you will have to create one or more logical

partitions to occupy all the space available to the extended partition. The

FDISK utility will assign a drive letter (i.e., C:, D:, E:,...) to each partition

which will be shown in the FDISK program. After FDISK procedure, reboot
your system by using the same system floppy disk.

Note: DOS 6.2x and Windows 95A can only support up to 2.1GB of

HDD partition. If you use the FDISK utility with one of the opera­ting systems mentioned above, you can only install your HDD into
partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.

4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you've created.

When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the FORM-

AT C: /S command.

Note: FORMAT C: /S can transfer all the necessary system files into the

primary partition of your hard disk. Then, your HDD will become
a bootable drive.

5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.

6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation

guide.

- 22 -

Step 13

Install Drivers & Software Components

Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/
2000/ME/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is
already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.

1. Insert the AB60/R bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The

auto-run program will display the drivers main installation window on
screen.

2. Select the "Install Mainboard Software" bar to run into sub-menu.

3. Choose "Install Intel Chipset Driver" and complete it.

4. Choose "Install USB 2.0 Driver" and complete it.

5. Choose "Install Audio Driver" and complete it.

6. Choose "Install Intel LAN Driver" and complete it.

7. Choose "Install RAID Driver" and complete it. ( AB60R Only)

8. Choose "Install SiICfg Installation Utility" and complete it. ( AB60R

only)

9. Return to the main installation window and exit from the auto-run drivers

installation program.

3.2 Jumper Settings

Several hardware settings are made through the use of mini jumpers to con­nect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner
of each jumper, you just find the location with a white right angle which
stands for pin 1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:

3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers shown as following:
Pin #1 to the left:

Pin #1 on the top:

Pin #1 to the right:

Pin #1 on the bottom:

Jumpers with two pins are shown as for Close [On] or for
Open [Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic mini jumpers over
the desired pair of pins.

Caution!

1. Do not remove the mainboard from its antistatic protective packaging

until you are ready to install it.

2. Carefully hold the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its

components. When putting the mainboard down, place it on top of its

original packaging film, on an even surface, and components side up.

3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent

electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.

5 BIOS SETUP

AB60/R BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed
RAM so that it retains the Setup information even if the system power is
turned off.

The system BIOS is managing and executing a variety of hardware related
functions in the system, including:

System date and time
Hardware execution sequence
Power management functions
Allocation of system resources

5.1 Enter the BIOS

To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:

Step 1. Power on the computer, and the system will perform its

POST (Power-On Self Test) routine checks.

Step 2. Press <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:

Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,

<Alt>, <Esc> keys

Note 1. If you miss trains of words meationed in step2 (the message

disappears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS
Setup, restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF
and ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the
computer's front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, <Del> keys.

Note 2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not boot, the

screen will prompt an error message, and you will be given the
following options:

“Press F1 to Continue, DEL to Enter Setup”

Step 3. As you enter the BIOS program, the CMOS Setup Utility will

prompt you the Main Menu, as shown in the next section.

@ PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes the configuration of PCI bus system. PCI or
Personal Computer Interconnection is a system which allows I/O
devices to operate at the speed CPU itself keeps when CPU
communicating with its own special components. This section covers
some very technical items, and it is strongly recommended that only
experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset
Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit from Setup
if you have installed a new device or software and the system
reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating
system can not boot.

Ø The choice: Enabled or Disabled .

Resource controlled By

The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices.
However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using
a Plug-and-Play operating system such as Windows 95.

If you set this field to "manual" , choose specific resources by going into
each of the sub-menu that follows this field (a sub-menu is proceeded
by a ">").

Ø The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.

IRQ Resources

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a
type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 assigned
This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and

is not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices is compliant with
the original PC AT bus specification; PCI/ISA PnP for devices is compli­ant with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA
bus architecture.

Ø The choice: PCI Device or Reserved.

@ Supervisor/User Password Setting

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The
differences between them are:

Supervisor Password and User Password

The options on the Password screen menu make it possible to restrict
access to the Setup program by enabling you to set passwords for two
different access modes: Supervisor mode and User mode. In general,
Supervisor mode has full access to the Setup options, whereas User
mode has restricted access to the options. By setting separate Supervisor
and User password, a system supervisor can limit who can change
critical Setup values.

Enter Password

Type the password up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to
abort the selection and not enter a password. To disable password, just
press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A message
will confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is dis­abled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
