T 370

socket.

Make sure that the CPU is

placed into the socket tightly. Then lower down the lever to complete the CPU installation.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2-2 MEMORY INSTALLATION

WARNING!!!

• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your mainboard and expansion cards.

• Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM. Forcing a DIMM in or out of a socket improperly may damage the memory module or the socket. Some DIMMs which contain EDO or FPM DRAM are incompliant with the mainboard. The M/B supports 3.3V true SDRAM DIMMs only.

Installing DIMM

• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.

• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will be matched by the onboard DIMM socket. Memory modules are installed by inserting them straight into the slot until they “click” in the right place. They only fit in one direction, so do not force them in by a wrong direction.

2-4.2 FSB Frequency SELECT (By SW1 DIP5~DIP8)

• Over clocking is not recommended, your system may work unstable.

• SW1 DIP5~8 settings for FSB (Front Side Bus) Frequency Select is a redundancy device designed for professional CPU overclocking only. Since this mainboard is designed with CPU clock auto-detection function, you are recommended to use the SW1 DIP5~8 default setting for a stable system performance. In case of CPU overclocking to higher frequency, these exists high possibility of failure due to the high complexity of components adopted on board. On the other hand, selecting a lower frequency setting for a CPU with higher frequency (e.g. select 100MHz setting for a 133MHz CPU) will also cause system failure.

These fan connectors support CPU/chassis cooling fan with +12V. When connecting wire to FAN connectors, users should pay attention that the red wire is for the positive current and should be connected to pin +12V, and the black wire is Ground and should be connected to pin GND. If your mainboard has Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function. For fans with speed sensors, each rotation of the fan blades will send out 2 electric pulses, by which System Hardware Monitor will work out the fan rotation speed by counting the pulses.

NOTE 1: Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan. NOTE 2: CPU FAN is supported by Hardware Monitor, with which a

warning will be given out against high CPU temperature.

• Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may require IRQs. System IRQs are available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, then any remaining IRQs are available to PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards.

• The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as “Legacy” ISA card, requires you to configure the card’s jumpers manually and then install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. To see a map of your used and free IRQs in Windows 98, the Control Panel in My Computer, contains a System icon, which gives you a Device Manager tab. Double-Clicking on a specific hardware device gives you a Resources tab which shows the Interrupt number and address. Double-Clicking Computers to see all the interrupts and addresses for your system. Make sure that each ISA device should be assigned to one IRQ respectively. If ISA device share IRQ with any other device, your computer will easily get into trouble.

CHAPTER 4 BIOS SETUP

THE BIOS

• BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It is sometimes called ROM BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip on the mainboard. BIOS is the first program to run when you turn on your computer.

• BIOS performs the following functions:

1. Initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process called “POST”, for Power On Self Test).

2. Loading and running your operating system.

3. Helping your operating system and application programs to manage your PC hardware by means of a set of routines called BIOS Run-Time Service.

This chapter contains the following topics :

4-1 WHAT IS BIOS SETUP 4-2 HOW TO RUN BIOS SETUP 4-3 WHAT IS CMOS 4-4 WHAT IS POST 4-5 BIOS UPGRADE 4-6 BIOS SETUP

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

4-1 WHAT IS BIOS SETUP

• BIOS setup is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:

1. Changing the hardware of your system. (For example: installing a new Hard Disk etc.)

2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (For example: changing the system time or date, or turning special features on or off etc.)

3. Enhancing your computer’s behavior. (For example: speeding up performance by turning on shadowing or cache)

4-2 HOW TO RUN BIOS SETUP

• To access BIOS setup menu, press < DEL > key after “POST”, and before the OS is loaded. The BIOS usually displays the following message:

Press DEL to enter SETUP

4-3 WHAT IS CMOS

• CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you have selected in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you turn on your computer, the BIOS Looks into CMOS for the settings you have selected and configures your computer accordingly. If the battery is out of power, the CMOS data will be lost and POST will issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this happens, you have to replace the battery and do some proper settings in SETUP.

4-4 WHAT IS POST

• POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. POST will test all things the BIOS does before the operating system is started. Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, a unique number which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.

4-5 BIOS UPGRADE

• System BIOS is incorporated into a Flash memory component of the mainboard. Flash BIOS allows user to upgrade BIOS without the need to replace an EPROM component.

65LIV-T

• The upgrade utility can be loaded on a floppy diskette and used to provide the capability to save, verify, and update the system BIOS. The upgrade utility can be run from a hard disk drive or a network drive.

4-5.1 Before Upgrading BIOS

• It is highly recommended that you save a copy of the original mainboard BIOS along with a Flash EPROM Programming utility (AWDFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later.

4-5.2 Upgrade Process

Note: Normally, to upgrade BIOS is unnecessary if the system is working

fine without any problem. Users should not upgrade the BIOS unless you experience incompatible problems or need to create new features. However, please read all information in this section before upgrading.

“AWDFLASH.EXE” is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the mainboard. This program only works in DOS environment, the

utility can not be executed in win95/98, ME, NT or WINDOWS 2000 environment.

Upgrading the system BIOS

Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download latest BIOS file and award flash utility “AWDFLASH.EXE”. The BIOS file format will be *.bin, of which “*” stands for the specific file name.

Step 2. Create a bootable diskette. Then copy the BIOS file and award flash utility “AWDFLASH.EXE” into the diskette.

Step 3. Insert the diskette into drive A, reboot your system and boot from the diskette.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

Step 4. Type awdflash *.bin /sn/py/cc and then press <Enter> to run BIOS upgrade program. (*.bin depends on your mainboard model and version code. Instead of typing “*”, you should type specific file name for your specific mainboard).

Step 5. Please press <F1> or <F10> to exit or reset your system, Warning ! If the message “Write Fail” appears while Award “FLASH MEMORY WRITER” is verifying Flash memory, just repeat the process. Please DO NOT reset or turn off the system. If the award memory flash utility is not able to update the BIOS successfully, your system may not be able to boot up.

Step 6. You will need a message “CMOS checksum error-Default loaded” during booting the system. Press <Del> to run CMOS setup utility, then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” or “Load Optimized Defaults” and save this change.

NOTE: User can type AWDFLASH /? to get further details about parameters.

Wrong usage of parameter will damage the BIOS information, so that we strongly recommend user to leave parameters alone unless you realize their function.

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type 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 faster access by the CPU.

When you select Enabled, it will speed up memory checking when the external cache contains ECC SRAMs. The choices: Enabled; Disabled.

Choose Disabled or Enabled. When enabled, the processor serial number will display during the boot up screen.

Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally enable quick POST.

To reduce the occurrence of electromagnetic interference (EMI), the BIOS detects the presence or absence of components in DIMM and PCI slots and turns off system clock generator pulses against empty slots.

When the system clock generator pulses, the extreme values of the pulse generate excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum spread modulation changes the extreme values from spikes to flat curves, thus reducing EMI. This benefit may in some cases be outweighed by problems with timing-critical devices, such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.
