IDE LED Activity Light: (J3 pin1–4)
This connector connects to the hard disk activity indicator light on the case.
Infrared Port Module Connector (J3 pin6–10)
The system board provides a 5-pin infrared connectorÑIR1 as an optional module for wireless transmitting and receiving. Pin 6 through 10 are Transmit, GND, Receive
(low speed), Receive (high speed), and Vcc, respectively.
J3 pin12, 13: Reserved
SMI Switch (J3 pin14, 15)
Toggle this jumper forces the system to sleep and the system wonÕt wake up until the hardware event is coming. (The BIOS Power Management setting muse be Enabled.)
Speaker Connector (J3 pin1–4)
The speaker connector is a 4-pin connector for connecting the system and the speaker. (See the following drawing for jumper position.)
Reset Switch (J4 pin5, 6)
The system board has a 2-pin connector for rebooting your computer without having to turn off your power switch. This prolongs the life of the systemÕs power supply.
Power LED and Keylock Switch (J4 pin8–12)
The keylock switch is a 5-pin connector for locking the keyboard for security purposes. (See the following drawing for jumper position, and pin1~3 is connected to power LED and pin 4~5 is connected to keylock switch.)

Supervisor/User Password
These two options allows you to set your system passwords. Normally, supervisor has a higher right to change the CMOS setup option than the user. The way to set up the passwords for both Supervisor and User are as follow:
1. Choose ÒChange PasswordÓ in the Main Menu and press <Enter>. The following message appears:
“Enter Password:”
2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to only 8 characters and press <Enter>. The screen does not display the entered characters.
3. After you enter the password, the following message appears prompting you to confirm the password:
“Confirm Password:”
4. Enter exact the same password you just typed again to confirm the password and press <Enter>.
5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.
6. If you need to delete the password you entered before, choose the Supervisor Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password that you had before.
34
7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option you did, otherwise the old password will still be there when you turn on your machine next time.
8. Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.
Note: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to
access the system is to clear the CMOS RAM by setting JBAT1. All setup information will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.
IDE HDD Auto Detection
IDE HDD Auto Detection detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive and automatically enters them to the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
The screen will ask you to select a specific hard disk for Primary Master after you select this option. If you accept a hard disk detected by the BIOS, you can enter ÒYÓ to confirm and then press <Enter> to check next hard disk. This function allows you to check four hard disks and you may press the <ESC> after the <Enter> to skip this function and go back to the Main Menu.
Save & Exit Setup
Save & Exit Setup allows you to save all modifications you have specified into the CMOS memory. Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following message appears:
SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Press <Enter> key to save the configuration changes.

HDD Low Level Format
Do not use this utility unless you have help from engineers or some technical background.
Exit Without Saving
Exit Without Saving allows you to exit the Setup utility without saving the modifications that you have specified. Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following message appears:
Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
You may change the prompt to ÒYÓ and press <Enter> key to leave this option.
