1. CPU Working Frequency

On the heatsink side of a Pentium 4 CPU, there printed a line of figures
to identify its specifications. The line consists of 4 parts:

1. CPU Working Frequency: this part depicts the working frequency of
the CPU. For example,

2.4 GHz depicts that this CPU is locked to 2.4 GHz working frequency
(18 x 133MHz CPU clock);
2A GHz depicts that this CPU is an A version, locked to 2.0 GHz
working frequency (20 x 100MHz CPU clock)

3.06GHz depicts that this is a 3.06GHz hyper-threading CPU

2. CPU L2 Cache: this part depicts the L2 Cache size. For example,
512 stands for 512 KB L2 Cache; 256 stands for 256 KB L2 Cache

3. System Clock: this part depicts the System Clock (Front Side Bus)
provided by the CPU. For example,
533 stands for a 533MHz system clock provided by a 133MHz CPU
times 4;
400 stands for a 400 system clock provided by a 100 MHz CPU x 4.

4. CPU Voltage Vcore: this part depicts the CPU Voltage. For example,

1.5V stands for a CPU of 1.5V Vcore.
Note: System Clock vs CPU Clock

P4 CPU is a quadpumped CPU. The system bus is provided by
the CPU clock x 4. Therefore, users can figure out the P4 CPU
clock by the System Clock divided by 4.

2-2 CPU Installation with Socket 478B

This mainboard is built with CPU
Socket 478B ( 478-pin) supporting
the Intel Pentium 4 CPU:

• Follow the steps described in this
section to install the 478-pin Pen­tium 4 CPU into the on board
Socket 478.

• After installation of Pentium 4 CPU,
you must also install the specific
Pentium 4 CPU fan designed in
tandem with this CPU. This CPU
Fan installation is described in next
section.

• This mainboard supports Hyper­threading dual-in-one CPU, the
function of which can be enabled
by Windows XP. (See illustration
on the right.)

1. First pull sideways the lever of
Socket 478, and then turn it up

0

so as to raise the upper layer

90
of the socket from the lower
platform.

( If Hyper-threading CPU is
installed successfully with O/S
Win XP, the O/S will enable the
dual-in-one CPU function.)

Pin 1

2. Configure Pin 1 of CPU to Pin 1
of the Socket, just as the way
shown in the diagram on the
right. Adjust the position of CPU
until you can feel all CPU pins
get into the socket with ease.

3. Make sure that all CPU pins have
completely entered the socket
and then lower down the lever
to lock up CPU to socket.

2-4 Memory Installation

How to tackle with 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.

2-4.1 To Install DDR SDRAM Module for this Mainboard

• This Mainboard only supports up to 2GB unbuffered DDR 266/200
SDRAM, with 2 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert other type of
modules into these slots.

• 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. Press
the Module down in a gradual way until it surely reaches the bottom
and clicks straight up the two latches on the left and right of the slot.
If any one of the latches has not turned up completely, you should
unplug the module and press it down a bit more firmly.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2-5 AGP 4X Installed with Jumper and LED Safeguard

1. The AGP slot on board supports 1.5V AGP 4X card only. A Rib is

specifically added to the 4X AGP slot so as to match the AGP 4X
card. To insert a 3.3V AGP 2X card into the AGP 4X slot will damage
the system chip as well as burn the 1.5V circuitry.

Jp2 is designed on board to check the voltage of the AGP card

inserted in the AGP slot.
enabled to allow only 1.5V AGP4X card to boot system. If a 3.3V
AGP2X card is mistakenly inserted to AGP slot, it will not boot system.

2. In case you have to use a PCI VGA card for the display, you must

first set Jp2 to 2-3 closed to disable the safeguard. If a 3.3V AGP2X
card is mistakenly inserted to AGP slot under no safeguard, the 3.3V
power will burn the 1.5V circuitry. So, take care never to apply 3.3V
AGP card to this mainboard.(See Jumper Setting Section for detailed
jumper setting description).

3. LED1 is a Warning LED. Whenever an AGP card is not inserted to

the AGP slot, or if the card is not a correct one, LED1 will keep
lighting up until a proper installation is done.

When Jp2 is set to 1-2 closed, safeguard is

ATX V2.03 power supply is strongly recommended for mainboard run­ning with 2GHz or higher CPU.

To set up Power Supply on this mainboard:

1. Connect the on-board Main Power Connector (20-pin) to the Main
Power Connector (20-pin) of an ATX Power Supply which can be
either of the latest version 2.03 or of earlier ATX format.

2. If you use an ATX Power Supply Version 2.03 or later, you can now
connect the on-board square-shaped +12V Connector to the square­shaped +12V Connector of your ATX Power Supply. In this case, it is
not necessary for you to connect the on-board 4-pin Peripheral Power
Connector to your Power Supply.

3. If you use an ATX power Supply of an older version than V2.03, you
cannot find a square-shaped +12V Connector with your Power Supply;
you must then connect the on-board 4-pin Peripheral Power
Connector to the 4-pin Peripheral Power Connector of your Power
Supply.

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.

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.

• 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.

2-9.2 Jp14: CPU Front Side Bus Select

This Mainboards is shipped to users with a Jp14 FSB (Front Side Bus)
Frequency Select design, with which user can select the FSB Frequency
to match with the Pentium 4 processor selected on board. Yet users
are not recommeded to take Jp14 as a tool for overclocking. It is
saver and more advisible for users to select the default (CPU auto-select)
clock on board.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

Further Notes on CPU Overclocking:

1. If you have successfully booted system, with or without CPU
overclock, you still can try another CPU overclock in BIOS Setup.
Please enter BIOS Setup, choose “Frequency/Voltage Control” menu,
then configure the “CPU Clock” item to raise your CPU clock.

2. CPU overclocking should take all components on board into account.
If you fail in BIOS overclocking, you will not be able to restart system.
In such case, Power off system and clear CMOS by JBAT1 and then
restart your system. And remember to reconfigure whatever should
be reconfigured.

3. If your system is already fixed in a cabinet or case, you may not like
to take the trouble to clear CMOS. Then power on your system with
the power button on the PC case and simultaneously press down the
“Insert” key on the keyboard until you see the initial bootup screen
appear. And remember you should also enter CMOS BIOS Setup
instantly and choose “Load Optimized Defaults” to restore default
BIOS .

2-9.3 Jp1: PS/2 KB/Mouse Power On

Jp1 is designed to enable / disable PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Power on
function. Setting Jp1 to 1-2 closed will disable this function. Setting Jp1
to 2-3 closed will enable this function. Yet user still has to enter BIOS
Setup for choosing the KB/ Mouse Power-on mode. (See Integrated
Peripherals” in BIOS Setup.)

2-9.4 Jp2: 1.5V AGP4X Safeguard

Jp2:

1.5V AGP4X Safeguard

1. Jp2 is designed on board to check
the voltage of the AGP card inserted
in the AGP slot.

When Jp2 is set to
1-2 closed, safeguard is enabled to
allow only 1.5V AGP4X card to boot
system. If a 3.3V AGP2X card is
mistakenly inserted to AGP slot, it will
not boot system.

2-3 closed
Safeguard disabled,

2. In case you have to use a PCI VGA card for the display, you must
first set Jp2 to 2-3 closed to disable the safeguard. If a 3.3V AGP2X
card is mistakenly inserted to AGP slot under no safeguard, the 3.
3V power will burn the 1.5V circuitry. So, take care never to apply

3.3V AGP card to this mainboard.

2-9.5 Jp3 & Jp4: DIMM Voltage Select:

The default voltage 2.5V at DIMM
sockets is for normal operation of the
supported DDR SDRAM. In some
case, when you try to do CPU
overclocking, you then may also
need to raise the transfer rate of the
memory interface. Jp3 & Jp4 are
designed on board to provide set­tings for selecting a higher DIMM
voltage so as to raise the speed of
the memory interface.

2-9.7 JAGP1 & JAGP2: AGP Voltage Select

JAGP1 & JAGP2 is a design for selecting a higher AGP voltage than
the default 1.5V . Just as adjusting the DIMM voltage to cope with CPU
overclocking, a higher AGP voltage will also raise the chance of CPU
overclocking. However, it is important to bear in mind that CPU over­clocking will risk the stability of your PC system.

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 “Hardware Monitor
Status” in 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 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

44

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.

45

85DR2-C

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 Upgrade Utility can also be
run from a hard disk drive or a network drive.

4-5.1 Before Updating BIOS

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

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

4-5.2 Update Process

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

Users should only upgrade 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 system BIOS:

Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download the zip file
which contains the latest BIOS file and AMI flash utility “AMIFLASH.
EXE”. After unzipping, 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 “AMIFLASH.EXE” into the diskette.

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

46

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

Step 4. Type AMIFLASH *.ROM and then press <Enter> to run BIOS
update program. (*.ROM will vary, depending on your mainboard model
and version code. Instead of typing “*”, you should type specific file
name for your specific mainboard. For example, you may type “amiflash
(space)DR2C005.rom).

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. BIOS update is complete now.
