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 heat sink is a must for proper

heat dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with
heat sink 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’s manual
for proper setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.

(Hyper-Threading CPU included)

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)

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.

3. Please note the AGP slot on board supports 1.5V AGP 8X/4X card

only if users want to install a VGA card. A Rib is specifically added to
the 8X/4X slot so as to match the AGP 8X/4X card. To insert a 3.3V
AGP 2X card into the AGP 8X/4X slot will damage the system chip

and burn the 1.5V circuitry.
An AGP 8X card will support a data transfer rate up to 2GB/sec,
while an AGP 4X card will provide 1GB/sec transfer rate.

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

Jumper with

Pin 2-3 closed

Jumper with

all pins opened

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, the mainboard will be damaged.

2-10.1 JFSB1 & JFSB2: CPU Frequency Select

JFSB1 and JFSB2 are designed on board for CPU frequency select.

1. Setting JFSB1 1-2 closed and JFSB2 to 1-2 closed will allow CPU on
board to Auto Detect its own frequency and apply it to the System
Bus.

2. Setting JFSB1 2-3 closed and JFSB2 2-3 closed is for 100 MHz CPU.

3. Setting JFSB1 opened and JFSB2 2-3 closed is for 133 MHz CPU.

4. Setting JFSB1 2-3 closed and JFSB2 opened is to select a CPU
clock at 200 MHz for your CPU. If 200MHz is an overclock for your
CPU, it may or may not boot your system. If an overclok fails to boot
system, you should restore the default setting and then clear CMOS
to reboot your system. (See Clear CMOS in next paragraph.)

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” of
Advanced BIOS Features, and 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 .

2-10.2 (Optional) JFSB3: Memory Turbo Mode

JFSB3 is designed on board for improving
Memory performance. If you want to obtain
better system performance, you can set
JFSB3 2-3 closed to enable the Memory
Turbo Mode. Otherwise, you can set JFSB3
1-2 closed to disable the Memory Turbo
Mode.

2-10.3 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, restore the JBAT1
setting to Pin1-2 closed.

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

2-10.4 Jp3: LAN Controller Select (86MP-L only)

Jp3 is a 2-pin jumper for enabling or dis­abling the on-board LAN Controller.
Users can set LJP1 1-2 opened to en­able the on-board LAN Controller so as
to set up the LAN driver, or to set Jp3
1-2 closed to disable the on-board LAN
Controller. No matter Jp3 is enabled
or disabled, users are free to use an
add-on PCI LAN card for networking.

2-10.5 JKB1: Keyboard / Mouse Wake Up

JKB1 is designed on board as a
jumper to enable/disable the PS/2
keyboard/mouse Wake Up from sus­pend mode.
USB keyboard/mouse Wake Up

Both Sensor and No-sensor Fan Connectors support CPU/AGP/Sys­tem/Case cooling fan with +12V mode. A Hardware Monitor chipset is
on board, with which users can install a Hardware Monitor Utility and
read the fan speed transmitted from the sensor fan. Otherwise, users
can read the fan speed from the “Hardware Monitor Status” via 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 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

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.

86MP / 86MP-L

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 Windows 95/98, 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 the zip files
of the latest BIOS and AMI flash utility “AMIFLASH.EXE” for your
mainboard. 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 “AMIXXX.EXE” into the diskette.

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

60

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). For
example, you may type “amiflash(space)LDL005.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.
