Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

To Get things ready for Hardware setup !

1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components.
For detailed installation 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. Improper fan and installation will damage your
CPU.

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

The following topics are included in this chapter:

2-1 Pentium 4 CPU Installation

2-1.1 To Identify a Pentium 4 CPU

Intel

pentium 4

2.4 GHz / 512 / 533 / 1.5V

4) CPU Voltage Vcore

3) System Clock

2) CPU L2 Cache

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)

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.

How to tackle with the memory Modules:

• Make sure to unplug your Power Supplier 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 in a
socket improperly will damage the memory module and slot.

• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your mainboard.

2-3.1 To Install DDR SDRAM Module for this Mainboard :

• This mainboard only supports up to 2GB unbuffered DDR SDRAM, with 2
DDR DIMM slots on board.
slots.

• DDR DIMM slot has 184-pins and one notch. Insert a DDR DRAM 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.

ATX V2.03 power supplier 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 Supplier which can be
either of the latest version 2.03 or of earlier ATX format.

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

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, the jumper pins covered with black
marks stand for closed pins with jumper cap.

1 13313

Jp X

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, the mainboard will be damaged.

2-7.1 Jp6 and SW1: CPU Clock/Overclock Select

Jp6 and SW1 are designed for CPU clock select and 100MHz CPU
overclocking. With Jp6, users can choose the default CPU clock or an
overclock to boot system. SW1 is designed to match and meet the
setting of Jp6. Before setting Jp6 and SW1, users should read the CPU
Identification and find out the default CPU clock on the CPU.

1. If Jp6 is set to 2-3 closed, the auto-detect mode will recognize the
CPU clock automatically and send the signal to system chips. If a
100MHz CPU is used, SW1 should be set to default or 103/107/111
mode. If a 133MHz CPU is used, SW1 should be set to 133MHz
mode to boot system.

2. If Jp6 is set to 1-2 closed, CPU is set to 133MHz. You must now set
SW1 to 133MHz mode to boot system. If a 133MHz CPU is used on
board, system should start without problem. If a 100MHz CPU is
used, the overclocking may fail to boot up. In such case, you must
clear CMOS and reset Jp6 and SW1 to default settings for booting
system.

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,
and take the “Use Linear” option of the “Use CPU Linear Frequency”.
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 .

85MIV2 / 85MIV2-L

2-7.2 JBAT1: 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 2 or 3 seconds, return the JBAT1 setting
to Pin1-2 closed.

4. CMOS data are restored to default.
Remember never clear CMOS when system
power is on.

System FAN Connector
(FAN3, white, no sensor)

Both Sensor and No-sensor Fan Connectors support CPU/AGP/Sys­tem/Case cooling fan with +12V mode. Sensor Fan Connector is yellow
in color on board. 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. 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. A Sensor Fan Connector will count the electric pulses and send
the information to the System Hardware Monitor which in turn will work
out the fan rotation speed and display it with the monitoring program.

1. Resistor RT1: A thermal resistor is mounted by default to connector

RT1 so as to detect the temperature of the CPU. What RT2 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
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.

• 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 freeIRQs 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 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

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.

53

85MIV2 / 85MIV2-L

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 of
the latest BIOS 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.

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, 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.

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 user to
leave parameters alone unless you fully understand their
function.

Virus Warning 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.

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 L1 & L2 Cache 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.

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

cases be outweighed by problems with timing-criti­cal devices, such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.

4-6.11 SET SUPERVISOR / USER PASSWORD

These two options allow you to set your system passwords. Normally,
the supervisor has a higher priority to change the CMOS setup option
than the users. The way to set up the passwords for both Supervisor
and Users are as follows:

1. Choose “Change Password” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>.
Then following message appears:

“Enter Password : “

2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 8 char­acters and press <Enter>. (The screen does not display the entered
characters.)

3. After you enter the password, the following message appears prompt­ing you to confirm the password:

“Confirm Password : “

4. Enter the same password “exactly” the same as you have just typed
to confirm the password and press <Enter>.

5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.

6. If you need to delete the password entered before, choose the Su­pervisor Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password
that you have entered before.

7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option you have
just configured; otherwise the old password will still be there the next
time you turn your system on.

8. Press <Enter> to exit to the Main Menu.

NOTE: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access
the system is to clear the CMOS RAM. All setup informations
will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.
