System Memory Configuration
This 82440EX motherboard supports 168 pin DIMM of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB (EDO) or 256MB (SDRAM). 82440EX chipsets provide ÒTable-FreeÓ function. It means that users can install DRAM with any configuration and in any bank, and that is why the DRAM table is not needed but do remember that the DRAM must be 3.3V Unbuffered type.
CPU Installation
Follow the following steps in order to install your Intel Pentium II (or Celeron) properly.
Step 1:
Be sure you are in contact with heat sink vendors for attaching the heat sink on to the CPU.

Step 2:
Install the 2 pairs of screws, which are shown in the following drawing, onto the mainboard under the SLOT1 socket.
Two of the screws are right around the SLOT1 socket and the other pair of screws should be inserted opposite the first pair.
The screws should be inserted from the bottom of the motherboard upward.
Step 3:
Retention clip is shown in the following figure:
8
Page 13
Set the board according to the following diagram before installing the retention clip.
CPU Fan in this side
The retention clip should be inserted so that the small rectangle window is more toward to the right hand side of the board.
If installed incorrectly, you will not be able to insert the CPU into the retention clip and in this situation you might need to rotate the retention clip by 180¡.
Tighten the 4 screws on the retention clip till the neck of the screws can not be seen from the bottom of the board
Step 4:
Pull the latches up on the base of the CPU supporter and insert it into the two holes directly to the left of the retention clip so that the larger hole is on the bottom.
Press the base of the CPU supporter down in to the holes and lock the latches.

Step 5:
Flatten the two latches on the side of CPU. Insert the CPU into the retention clip and notice that the heat sink is on the right hand side of the board. Lock the two latches to secure the CPU.
10
Step 6:
Insert the clip portion of the CPU supporter so that the heat sink can sit on the top of the whole CPU supporter.

IDE LED Activity Light: (J1 pin1–4)
This connector connects to the hard disk activity indicator light on the case.
Infrared Port Module Connector (J1 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.
J1 pin12, 13: PWR Switch
Power Switch: Toggle this pin for turnning on/off of the power supply (for ATX power only).
SLEEP Switch (J1 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 (J2 pin1–4)
The speaker connector is a 4-pin connector for connecting the system and the speaker. (See the following drawing for jumper position.)

Page 17
Reset Switch (J2 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 (J2 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.)

Use the default setting. Burst read/write requests are generated by the CPU in four separate parts. The 1st part provides the location within the DRAM where the read or write is to take place while the remaining three parts provide the actual data. The lower the timing number is, the faster the system memory will be addressed.
Choose Non-ECC (default) or ECC depending on the DRAM type. ECC stands for Error Check and Correct. Non-ECC: Disabled ECC check
function.
ECC: Enabled ECC check
function.

This delay happens when the CPU is
running so much faster than the I/O bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O.
The choices for 8 bit I/O are NA, 1 to 8 CPU clock. Default is 3. The choices for 16 bit I/O are NA, 1 to 4 CPU clock. Default is 2.
Choose Enabled or Disabled (default).
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memoryÕs space below 16MB.
Choose 4 , 8, 16, 32, 64 (default), 128, or 256 MB. Memory mapped and graphics data structures can reside in a Graphics Aperture. This area is like a linear buffer. BIOS will auto report the starting address of this buffer to the O.S.

Standby Mode Suspend Mode
These two options allow you to choose the mode for the different timers. The Standby Mode turns off the VGA monitor, and the Suspend Mode turns off the CPU and saves the energy of the system.
HDD Power Down Time is adjustable from 1 to 15
minutes. When the set time has elapsed, the BIOS sends a command to the HDD to power down, which turns off the motor.
Throttle Duty Cycle
Choose the duty cycle time: 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5% (default), 75%, or 87.5%. The bigger of the percentage, the more saving power it gets.

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.
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 JP5. All setup information will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.

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.
