To Get things ready for Hardware setup !!!

1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components. For
detailed installalation instructions of processor, you can also refer to the
pamphlet enclosed in your CPU package.

2. Installing a cooling fan with a good heatsink is a must for proper heat
dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with heatsink for
proper installation. Inproper fan and installation will damage your CPU.

3. In case CPU Vcore, CPU clock or Frequency Ratio is adjustable onboard,
please follow the instructions described in the User Manual for proper
setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

How to tackle with Jumpers:

• Do not remove the jumper when power is on. Always make sure the power
is off before changing any jumper settings. Otherwise, mainboard
could be damaged.

• In the Jumper setting diagram, all jumper pins covered with black marks
stand for closed pins by jumper caps.

2-6.1 Switch 1 CPU Clock Select

This mainboard is equipped with a 5-DIP Switch 1, by which user can
select a CPU clock to match with the Pentium 4 processor selected on
board. So users are not recommeded to take Switch 1 as a tool for
overclocking. It is safer and more advisable for users to select the CPU
clock as close as possible to the one marked on the selected CPU.

• Advice from our Engineering Team:
If you insert a Pentium 4 processor of 100MHz to the CPU socket and

select 103MHz or any higher Switch setting, you are taking the risk of
breaking the stability of your CPU as well as the mainboard. Overclocking
should always take all other components on board into account.

2-6.2 AGP 4X Safeguard (By Jp2)

Jp2 allows you to safeguard the use of AGP 4X slot. If Jp2 is set at 1-2
closed (default), safeguard is enabled to allowed only AGP 4X card to
boot system.
If Jp2 is set at 2-3 closed, safeguard is disabled. In this case, a wrong
card such as AGP 2X card will damage the circuitry and the chipset,
resulting in system shutdown.

These fan connectors support CPU/System/chassis 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.
Each rotation of the fan blades will send out 2 electric pulses to the Fan
connector. The Fan connector with sensor will transmit the pulse message
to the System Hardware Monitor which will in turn work out the fan rotation
speed by counting the pulses.

NOTE : We use 3 “Yellow” fan connectors to mark that they support fan

speed sensor function.

1. Connector RT1: A blue thermal resistor is already soldered to connector
RT1 so as to sense the temperature round the mainboad. What RT1
does is to transmit the thermal signal to BIOS or Hardware Monitor.

2. Connector RT2: A thermal cable is needed to connect RT2 to on-board
devices such as HDD, Graphics card etc., so as to detect the temperature
generated therein. Please connect the end (a) of the thermal cable to
mainboard RT2 header, and tape another end (b) of the thermal cable
on to the device which you want to monitor. After you have finished the
thermal cable installation, you will see the detected temperature in

BIOS setup or Hardware monitor utility.

Note: The thermal Cable is an optional item for buyer of this mainboard. It

is also available from the mainboard venders or distributors.

• 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 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, 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 each ISA device
should be assigned to one IRQ respectively. If ISA device share IRQ with
any other device, your computer will easily get into trouble.

Chapter 4 AMI 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 Update BIOS
4-6 BIOS Setup

48

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:

DEL: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 check and configure the BIOS Setup for the new start.

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.

4-5 To Update 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 for upgrading

saving, and verifying the system BIOS. The Update Utility can also be
run from a hard disk drive or a network drive.

• It is highly recommended that you save a copy of the original mainboard

BIOS along with a Flash EPROM Programming utility (AMIXXX.EXE)to a
bootable floppy disk so that you can reinstall the BIOS when in need.

• Normally, to update BIOS is unnecessary if the system is working fine.

Users should only update BIOS when incompatible problems are encoun­tered or new features have to be added to system.

• “AMIFLASH.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 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 updating the sys­ tem BIOS:

Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download latest BIOS
file and AMI update utility. The file name of AMI update utility will be
“AMIXXX.EXE” of which “ XXX ” stands for the version number of the
file. The BIOS file format will be *.ROM, of which “ * ” stands for the
specific BIOS file name.

Step 2. Create a bootable diskette. Then copy the BIOS file and AMI
flash utility “AMIXXX.EXE” into the diskette.

Step 3. Insert the diskette into drive A, boot your system from the
diskette.

50

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

Step 4. Under “ A “ prompt, type “ AMIXXX.EXE *.ROM “ and then
press <Enter> to run BIOS update program. Please note that there
should be a space between AMIXXX.EXE and *.ROM. (*.ROM depends
on your mainboard model and version code. Instead of typing “*”, you
should type the specific file name for your specific mainboard).

Step 5. When the message “Flash ROM Update Completed - Pass.”
appears, please restart your system.

Step 6. You will see a message “CMOS Memory Size Wrong” during
booting the system. Press <Del> or <F1> to run CMOS setup utility,
then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” or “Load Optimal Defaults”
and save this change.
