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 FTP 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.

IMPORTANT:
• You may figure out the correct processor type by processor’s OPN (Ordering
Part Numbers). Correct CPU external frequency is key to ensure reliability
of your system.
• Incorrect CPU external frequency or overclocking might cause unstable
performance, so we strongly recommend to leave “SW1” at default setting
or legal operation.

2-4-4 FREQUENCY RATIO SELECT (BY SW3 DIP1-DIP5)
• The AMD Athlon and Duron processors provide four Frequency ID signals
(FID) respectively via DIP 1 to DIP4 of SW3 for the system controller to
specify the SYSTCLK multiplier at which the processor core operates.
Normally, the multiplier (or bus ratio) is detected automatically by FID.
Therefore, if the processor does not support the function, then “Bus Ratio”
can not be selected.
• When JP17 is “ON”, LED “LED1” will be on. It means that bus ratio
select function is enabled. So as long as your CPU supports bus ratio
select function, then the bus ratio can be selected by users.

A battery should be used to supply the power for the CMOS RAM to retain
mainboard configuration.
NOTE : You can clear CMOS by setting pin 2-3 closed when the system is
POWER OFF. Then return to pin 1-2 closed position (default). You may damage
the mainboard if clearing the CMOS with POWER ON . Unplugging the power
cord from power supply before clearing CMOS will be the safest bet for user.

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.
NOTE 1: Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.
NOTE 2 : CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC Alert utility. This
will automatically control the CPU FAN speed according to the actual CPU
temperature.

• 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
system, in which you can see the Device Manager tab. Double click on a
specific hardware device to display the Resources tab which shows the Interrupt number and address. Double-Clicking the first option Computers of
the Device Manager screen to see all the interrupts and addresses for your
system. Make sure that ISA devices should not share IRQ with other devices;
otherwise your computer will get into trouble when those two devices are
used at the same time.

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 :

• 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
48
Page 49
Chapter 4 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
49

75KIV
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.

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

The following is a list of IRQs (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.
