2-2 Memory Installation
How to tackle the memory Modules:
• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your mainboard and the memory module.
• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM
into a slot improperly will damage the memory module and slot itself.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.
2-2.1 To Install DDR SDRAM Module
• This series supports up to 3GB unbuffered DDR333/266 SDRAM,
with 3 DDR DIMM slots on board.
ules into these slots.
• The nFORCE2 dual memory controller can double the DDR memory
bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s with DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333 and
4.2GB/s with DDR266.
• To enable Dual-channel memory function, please see “Dual-channel
Configuration” on next page.
• DDR DIMM slot has 184-pins and one notch. Insert a DDR SDRAM
vertically into the 184-pin slot with the notch-to-rib matching.

2-2.2 Dual-channel DDR DIMM configuration
1. To enable Dual-channel function on this series of mainboard, a DDR
SDRAM module must be first inserted into DIM3, the Master Dualchannel slot.
2. Next, either DIM1 or DIM2 or both should be inserted with DDR
SDRAM module(s) to activate the Dual-channel function. That is, DIM3
is the Master Dual-channel slot and at least one more slot is needed
to couple the Dual-channel function.
3. If Dual-channel configuration is set up, nFORCE2 dual memory con-
troller can double the DDR memory bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s with
DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333 and 4.2GB/s with DDR266.

2-8.1 How to tackle the Jumpers:
123
A 3-pin Jumper
If a pin-header (of 2 or more pins) is
designed in such a way that its pins
can be closed or linked together to
set up a specific function,
is called a jumper in this manual.
this header
A 2-pin
Jumper
Cap
The conductor inside the cap
links two header-pins together.
• A Jumper is usually but not necessarily given a “JpX” legend.
• In the Jumper setting diagram, all jumper pins covered with
black marks stand for closed pins with jumper cap.
1 13313
Jp X
Jumper with
Pin 2-3 closed
Jumper with
all pins open
Jumper with
Pin 1-2 closed
• Do not remove any jumper cap when power is on. Always
make sure the power is off before changing any jumper settings.
Otherwise, mainboard could be damaged.
2-8.2 Jp2: CPU Clock Select
1. Before setting the CPU clock by Jp2, read the Identification Legend
on the CPU, find the Max FSB and divide it by two. The result is the
default CPU clock on the CPU you are using.
2. Setting Jp2 1-2 closed is for 100/133MHz CPU.
3. Setting Jp2 2-3 closed is for 166/200MHz CPU. If you want to do
overclocking with your onboard CPU, you should start system first
and then enter “Advanced Chipset Features” of the BIOS Setup to
try CPU overclocking. If an overclock fails to reboot system, you
should execute the nVIDIA-Boot-Failure-Restart Procedure to reboot
system.

nVIDIA Boot-Failure-Reboot Procedures:
Whenever nVIDIA system fails to boot (including overclock and nonoverclock cases), it requires a more guaranteed Reboot Procedure to
restart system.
(1) To reboot nVIDIA system, users should first power off the system.
(2) If a “CPU Clock Select” Jumper is on board, restore this jumper
setting to default setting.
(3) Execute the “Clear CMOS” procedures with “Clear CMOS” Jumper.
(4) Then press down “Insert” key of the keyboard before pressing down
Power Button to start system. Do not release Insert Key until you can
see the initial bootup screen appear.
(5) In some “overclocking cases by BIOS Setup”, if system still cannot
boot up with the above 4 steps, please remove the on-board battery
from the battery-socket and unplug the power cord as well. Keep the
battery and power cord away from system in 10 to 20 seconds so as to
make sure all power residue has faded away.
(6) After restoring the power cord and battery to system, make sure the
“CPU Clock Select” Jumper is at “Default Setting” and then press the
Power Button to restart system again. Please note that Step (5) will
take the place of Step (3) and (4).
(7) After starting system, users should also enter “Advanced Chipset
Features” of BIOS Setup and set the “FSB Frequency” to “CPU Default” value for a guaranteed bootup. However, user can also select a
higher CPU clock to try overclocking again.
2-8.3 JBAT1: nVIDIA Clear CMOS
When you have problem with rebooting your system, you can clear
CMOS data and restore it to default value. To clear CMOS with Jumper
JBAT1, please follow the steps below:
1. Power off system.
2. Set JBAT1 to Pin 2-3 closed.
3. After 3 or 5 seconds(allowing residue
power to fade away), return the JBAT1
setting to Pin1-2 closed.
4. To reboot the system, press down “
Insert” key before pressing down
Power Button. Do not release Insert
key until you see the initial bootup
screen.

CPU shutdown function
Jp5 is designed to enable the overheat safeguard for some CPUs which
Jp5:
are incorporated with a protective thermal diode.
The latest AMD Athlon
XP and Duron Morgan CPUs are incorporated with such thermal diode
and can be protected by this function. Setting Jp5 1-2 closed (default
setting) will get system shutdown when the above-mentioned CPUs get
to 85oC (the default protection temperature.) Only when the CPU returns to a cooler state can you restart your system.
For other CPUs that are not incorporated with a protective thermal diode,
please set Jp5 2-3 closed to disable the function because it is a vain
design now.
Reminder: If a sudden shutdown happens to your system which has
been running well for a while with an AMD Athlon XP/ Duron Morgan
CPU, this might be caused by the “Overheated CPU Shutdown” design.
Please use a better CPU cooling fan and restart your system.

(Yellow)
Both Sensor and No-sensor Fan Connectors support CPU/AGP/System/Case cooling fan with +12V mode. When connecting the wire to
any Fan Connector, user should make sure 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. A Hardware Monitor chipset is on board, with which user can install a Hardware Monitor
Utility and read the fan speed transmitted from the sensor fan connector.
Otherwise, user can read the fan speed from the” Smart Doc Anti-burn
Shield” CMOS BIOS.
A running fan will send out 2 electric pulses per rotation of its fan
blade to a Sensor Fan Connector which in turn will count the electric
pulses and send the information to the System Hardware Monitor. The
hardware Monitor Program will work out the fan rotation speed and display it on screen.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
THE BIOS
BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It was once called
ROM BIOS when it was stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip Now
manufacturers would like to store BIOS in EEPROM which means
Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory. BIOS used in this series
of mainboard is stored in EEPROM, and 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 manage
your PC hardware by means of a set of routines called BIOS RunTime Service.
This Chapter includes the following topics :
4-1 About BIOS Setup
4-2 To run BIOS Setup
4-3 About CMOS
4-4 The POST (Power On Self Test)
4-5 To upgrade BIOS
4-6 BIOS Setup
54
Page 52
Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
4-1 About 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 To Run BIOS Setup
First access BIOS setup menu by pressing < DEL > key after “POST” is
complete ( before OS is loaded ). BIOS will then display the following
message:
Press “DEL” to enter “SETUP”
4-3 About CMOS
CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. CMOS is used to store
the BIOS settings you have selected in BIOS Setup. 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 runs 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 BIOS Setup.
4-4 The POST ( Power On Self Test )
POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. This program 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.

Series SL-75MRN: 75MRN, 75MRN-L, 75MRN-R, 75MRN-RL
4-5 To Upgrade BIOS
• System BIOS is incorporated into a Flash memory component. Flash
BIOS allows user to upgrade BIOS without the need to replace an EPROM
component.
• The Upgrade Utility can be loaded on a floppy diskette to execute saving,
verifying, and updating 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 so that you can reinstall the BIOS when needed.
4-5.2 Upgrade Process
• Normally, to upgrade BIOS is unnecessary if the system is working fine
Users should only upgrade the BIOS when you experience incompatible
problems or need to create new features.
• “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 mainboard. This program only works in DOS environment, the
utility can not be executed in Win95/98, ME, NT, WINDOWS 2000 or
Windows XP environment.
• Please follow the steps below for upgrading the system BIOS:
Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download the zip file
which contains the latest BIOS file and Award Flash Utility “AWDFLASH.
EXE”. After unzipping, the BIOS file format will be *.bin, of which “ * ”
stands for the specific BIOS 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.
56
Page 54
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,please retry the process.
Please DO NOT turn off the system before updating the BIOS
successfully.
Step 6. At rebooting system, press <Del> to run CMOS setup utility,
then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” or “Load Optimized Defaults”
and save this change.
The parameters of AWDFLASH.EXE
/sn: No original BIOS backup
/py: Program flash memory
/cc: Clear CMOS data (and update data automatically) after pro gramming
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.

3. Press <ESC> to return to the Main Menu when you finish setting up
all items. The following item descriptions are provided as a quick
guide to your setup.
Virus Warning
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot
sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you
plan to run such a program, we recommend that you disable the virus warning.
CPU Internal / External
Cache
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.
Cache memory is additional memory that is much
faster than conventional DRAM (system memory).
CPUs from 486-type up contain internal cache
memory (L1), and most, but not all, modern PCs
have additional (external) cache memory (L2).
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers
the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for faster access by the CPU.

Gate A20 Option
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses
memory above 1MB (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.
