HARDWARE SETUP

There are two ways to set the CPU type and both ways are controlled by JP12, JP13,
JP14 and JP15:

1. Use jumpers(hardware): JP12 ~ JP15 must be set.

2. Use BIOS(jumperless): JP12 ~ JP15 must be all shorted at pin 1-2. Refer to “CPU

SPEED SETTING” section for detail description.

System Memory Configuration

This VIA 693 Apollo Pro-Plus motherboard supports 168 pin DIMM of 8MB,
16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB or 256MB to form a memory size between 8MB to
768MB (SDRAM). VIA 693 Apollo Pro-Plus chipsets provide “ Table Free ”
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 type.

does not include memory manager e.g. emm386.exe, qemm or himem.sys
file.

3. Type “awdflash filename (XXXX.bin)”.

4. Next screen will ask you save current BIOS to file or not? Depends on your
diskette capacity, choose Y or N for this option.

5. Then screen asks you programming the flash memory now? Type Y for this
option.

6. Programming finished, utility will ask you to reboot system.

7. Reset system and press DEL key enter BIOS setup screen.

8. Select “LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS”, press ENTER, press Y, press F10, press
Y. Finish update process.

partition table.

Disabled: No warning message

will appear when there is
something attempting to
access the boot sector or

Supervisor/User Password

These two options allow you to set your system passwords. Normally, the supervisor
has a higher ability to change the CMOS setup option than the user. The way to set up
the passwords for both Supervisor and User are as follows:

1. Choose “Change Password” 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 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 the same password “exactly” as 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
the next time you turn your machine on.

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 “Y”
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.

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 “Y” and press the <Enter> key to leave this
option.
