1. Please refer to your processor installation or other
documentation attached with your CPU for detailed
installing instruction.

2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Uncorrected
installation may result in overheating and damage of
your CPU.

3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from BIOS
program, user SHOULD make sure of correct specifi­cation both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO. Uncorrected
setting may cause damage to your CPU.

2-2 MEMORY INSTALLATION

WARING !!!

• Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing

memory modules or other system components, failure to do so may cause

severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

• Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM, forcing a DIMM in or out of a

socket can be damaged the memory module or the socket. Some of DIMMs
contain EDO or FTP DRAM that accept only 5V power. These DIMM types
are incompliant with the motherboard, the M/B only supports 3.3V true
SDRAM DIMMs.

Installing DIMM:

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

• Insert the module(s) as shown, DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that

will match with the onboard DIMM socket, memory modules are installed by
inserting them straight into the slot until they “click” into place. They only fit
in one direction so do not force them into place.

Removing:

• Press the holding clips on both sides of socket out ward to release the

DIMM, Gently pull the DIMM out of the socket.

2-3 HDD/FDD INSTALLATION

• To install HDD (Hard Disk Drive), you may connect the cable’s blue

connector to the motherboard’s primary (IDE1) or secondary IDE
connector, and then connect the gray connector to your slave de­vice and the black connector to your master device. If you install
two hard disks , you must configure the second drive to Slave mode
by setting its jumper accordingly. Please refer to your hard disk docu­mentation for the jumper settings.

• To install FDD (Floppy Disk Drive), you may connect the single end

to the board , and connect two plugs on the other end to the floopy
drives.

CPU FAN

JFAN1

SYSTEM FAN

Those connectors support processor/system/chassis cooling fan with +12V. Those
support three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to FAN connectors,
user should give attention that the red wire is the positive and should be connected
to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
motherboard 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 fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send out 2 pulses.
System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation speed.

• 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 that you configured 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 no two devices
use the same IRQ or your computer will experience problems when those
two devices are in use at the same time.

CHAPTER 4

BIOS SETUP

4-1 INTRODUCE THE BIOS

• BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is sometimes called ROM
BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip on the
motherboard. 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.

4-2 WHAT IS BIOS SETUP

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

1. Changing the hardware on your system. (for example: installing a new

Hard Disk etc,.)

2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (for example: changing the sys-

tem time or date, or turning special features on or off etc,.)

3. Enhancing your computer’s behavior. (for example: speeding up perfor-

mance by turning on shadowing or caching)

4-3 HOW TO RUN BIOS SETUP

• One way of running SETUP is to press a special function key or key combi­nation during POST, before the operating system is loaded during POST,
the BIOS usually displays a prompt such as:

Press DEL to enter SETUP

42

65MIV/65MIV2/65MIV-X/65MIV2-X

4-4 WHAT IS CMOS

• CMOS is a special kind of memory maintained by a battery after you turn
your computer off. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you selected
in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you
turn on your computer, the BIOS Looks in CMOS for the settings you se­lected and configures your computer accordingly. If the battery charge runs
too low, the CMOS content will be lost and POST will issue a “CMOS in­valid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this happens, you may
have to replace the battery. After the battery is replaced, the proper set­tings will need to be stored in SETUP.

4-5 WHAT IS POST

• POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. It’s a traditional name for the
routines that the BIOS uses to test and initializes the devices on your sys­tem when the PC is powered on. Its meanings has grown to include any­thing the BIOS does before the operating system is started. Each of POST
routines is assigned a POST code, an unique number which is sent to I/O
port 080h before the routine is executed.

4-6 BIOS UPGRADE

• Motherboards incorporate the system BIOS in a Flash memory component.
Flash BIOS allows user upgrades without the need to replace an EPROM
component.

• The upgrade utility fits on a floppy diskette and provides 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, but no memory managers can be
installed during upgrades.

4-6.1 BEFORE UPGRADE BIOS

• It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS
along with a Flash EPROM Programming utility(AWDFLASH.EXE) to a

4-6.2 UPGRADE PROCESS

Note: Normally, to upgrade BIOS that is unnecessary if the system is working fine
without any problem, user should upgrade the BIOS unless you experienced
incompatible problem or need BIOS upgrade 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
motherboard, This program only works in pure DOS environment, the utility

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

Upgrading the system BIOS

Set 1. Pleas visit the board maker’s website, download the newest BIOS file and
newest award flash utility “AWDFLASH.EXE” for the motherboard. The BIOS
file you downloaded will be a *. bin format.

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 you system and boot form the diskette.

Step 4. When booting is finished type awdflash *.bin /sn/py/cc and then press
<Enter> to run BIOS upgrade program. (*.bin depends on your motherboard
model and version code).

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

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

Virus Warning When enabled, you receive a warning message if a

program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the
boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive.
You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in

mind that this feature protects only the boot
sector, not the entire hard drive.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sec-

tor table can trigger the virus warning message. If you
plan to run such a program, we recommend that you dis­able the virus warning.

Checking

Processor Number

Feature

Quick Power On Self

Test

Cache memory is additional memory that is much
faster than conventional DRAM (system memory).
CPUs from 486-type on 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
even faster access by the CPU.
The External Cache field may not appear if your sys­tem does not have external cache memory.

When you select Enabled, memory checking is en­able when the external cache contains ECC SRAMs.
The choice: 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 disable quick POST. Better to find a problem
during POST than lost data during your work.

The choice: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM,

Disabled.

Swap Floppy Drive This field is effective only in systems with two floppy

drives. Selecting Enabled assigns physical drive B
logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.

Boot Up Floppy Seek When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives

to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only
360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with
270KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80
tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track
floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to
a disabled to save time.

Boot Up NumLock

Status

Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the
NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled
On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead
of controlling cursor operations.

Gate A20 Option Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses

memory above 1 MB (extended memory). When set
to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When
set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller con­trols Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.

Typematic Rate Setting When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic

Rate and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystroke
repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard control­ler in your system.
When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and
typematic delay.

select a typematic rate (the rate at which character
repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10, 12,
15, 20, 24, or 30 characters per second.

Typematic Delay

(Msec)

Choose 250 (default), 500, 750 and 1000. This op­tion sets the time interval for displaying the first and
the second characters.

Security Option If you have set a password, select whether the pass-

word is required every time the System boots, or only
when you enter setup.

main active.

65MIV/65MIV2/65MIV-X/65MIV2-X

Doze Mode After the selected period of system inactivity, the CPU

clock runs at slower speed while all other devices still
operate at full speed.

Suspend Mode After the selected period of system inactivity, all de-

vices except the CPU shut off.

ACPI Suspend Type This item will allow you to select the ACPI suspend

type. You can select S3(STR) for suspending to DRAM
or S1(POS) for power on suspend under Windows

modem (if any) on your system. Activity of the se­lected IRQ always awakens the system.

Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN When Enabled, turning the system off with the on/off

button places the system in a very low-power-usage
state, with only enough circuitry receiving power to
detect power button activity or Resume by Ring
activity.

IRQ Activity Monitor-

The following is a list of IRQ’s (Interrupt ReQuests),

ing

which can be exempted much as the COM ports and
LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to
gain the attention of the operating system, it signals
this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating
system is ready to respond to the request, it inter­rupts itself and performs the service. When set On,
activity will neither prevent the system from going into
a power management mode nor awaken it.

Auto Detect

DIMM/PCI CLK

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 to empty slots.

Spread Spec-

trum Modulated

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 device, such
as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.

CPU Host Clock Select Default or select a timing combination for the

CPU bus. When set to Default, the BIOS
uses the actual CPU bus clock values.

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 enterd 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 Super-

visor 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, other-

wise the old password will still be there the next time you turn your system
on.

8. Press <Enter> 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. All setup informa­tions will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup pro­gram again.

NOTE: You determine when the password is required within the

Advanced BIOS Features and its Security option.If the
Security option is set to “system”, the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
