ATTENTION !!!

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.

HARDWARE SETUP

2-1 CPU INSTALLATION

WARNING:

• Make sure that +5V DVC and +3.3 DVC capabilities of your power supply
are suitable for the processor.

• Any attempt to operate the AMD Athlon or Duron processor without a suit­able cooling Fan will result in permanent damage to the processor and
potentially other component within the system.

1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket, and then raise the lever up

to a 90-degree angle.

75MIV

SOCKET 462

2. Take note of the red circle as below picture. While inserting the CPU into

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

2-2 MEMORY INSTALLATION

WARNING!!!

• 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. 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.

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 floppy drives.

• The AMD Athlon and Duron processor provides four Frequency ID signals

(FID) to the system controller to indicate the SYSTCLK multiplier at which
the processor core operates, This mechanism is automatic. The board
maker does not guarantee “Bus Ratio” can be selected if the processor
does not support it.

• When LED “LED1” light is on, meaning that Bus Ratio Select Function is

enabled.

Those connectors support CPU/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.

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 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 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 inter-
rupts 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

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

48

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.

75MIV

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
bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later.

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.

49

75MIV

“AWDFLASH.EXE” is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that up dates 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.

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 away unless you realize their function.

Other Boot Device

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.

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 BIOS attempts to load the operating system from
the devices in the sequence selected in these items.
The choice: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM,

Disabled.

75MIV

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 Enabled : During POST, BIOS checks the track num-

ber of the floppy disk drive to see whether
it is 40 or 80 tracks.

Disabled: During POST, BIOS will not check the track

number of the floppy disk drive.

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.

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.
