CHAPTER 2

1. Please refer to your processor installation or other
documentation attached with your CPU for more

detailed installing instruction.

2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Incorrect

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. Incorrect set­ting may cause damage to your CPU.

2- 1 CPU INSTALLATION

WARNING !!!
Never run you processor without the heat sink properly and firmly attached.
PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESULT!

• Pull out the lever from the
socket, and then raise the le-

1

ver up to a 90-degree angle.

SOCKET 370

• Take notice of the red circles
as shown below. While insert-

2

ing the CPU into the socket,
you can find out there is a defi­nite pin orientation for CPU
and socket.

SOCKET 370

SOCKET 370

• Make sure that the CPU is
placed into the socket tightly.

3

Then lower down the lever to
complete the CPU installation.

65MIV-C / 65MIV2

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 mainboard 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 mainboard, the M/B only supports 3.3V true
SDRAM DIMMs.

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.

Removing DIMM

• Press down the holding clips on both sides of a DIMM socket and the
module will be released from it.

Chapter2 Hardware Setup

2- 3 HDD/FDD INSTALLATION

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

These connectors support CPU/System 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, the rotation of the fan blades will send out 2
electric pulses, by which system Hardware Monitor will work out the fan rotation
speed.

• Both ISA and PCI expansion cards require IRQs. System IRQs are avail­able to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first and 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, please click the My Computer

Chapter4 BIOS Setup

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

53

65MIV-C / 65MIV2

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 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 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 display 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 that 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

54

Chapter4 BIOS Setup

replace an EPROM component.

• 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 also 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 works in DOS environment only, 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.

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 the specific file name for your

55

65MIV-C / 65MIV2

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: Users can type AWDFLASH /? to get further details about the
parameters. Incorrect usage of the parameter will damage the

BIOS information, so we strongly recommend users to leave
parameters alone unless you fully understand 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
even 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. Better to find a problem
during POST than lose data during your work.

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