(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.

2-5 AGP 8X/4X Slot Installation
The AGP slot on board supports 1.5V AGP 8X/4X card only. 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 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.)

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 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.

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, users 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 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” in 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 BIOS Setup
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
53
Page 50
86SPE / 86SPE-L
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.
54
Page 51
Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
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.

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,
