This chapter provides the layout, descriptions and functions of
the connectors and jumpers of your motherboard.
There are a number of connectors and jumpers on the
motherboard. Connectors allow you to connect to different
peripherals and/or devices. Jumpers, on the other hand,
provide you flexibility and different functions when set to different
values.
These jumpers were set to factory default before shipping,
which gives you the best performance. You should not alter
these settings unless you are sure of what you are doing. If you
want to change any setting, please make sure that the computer
has been turned OFF and make a note of what the original
settings are. This way, you can always revert to the original
settings if the new settings do not work.

The 20-pin connector from the switching power supply is
connected to JATX.
If the switching power supply used is an ATX-compliant
power supply, remote power on/off is supported and the
system’s power can be turned off through software control.
This feature is called soft-off control.
Soft-off control allows your computer to automatically go
back to the power state (on, off, or suspend) after being
interrupted either by power outage or by disconnection of
power cord. To enable this feature, your system’s
advanced power management must be enabled both in
BIOS setup utility and in the operating system.

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility of your system is discussed in this
chapter.
The system Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) is the
interface between the hardware and the operating system
software. Its function is to provide a series of software
interrupts and functions that control operations on certain
devices connected to your system. Aside from this, it performs
a series of Power On Self Test (POST) every time you boot the
system. POST checks your actual system configuration with
the system configuration data stored in a non-volatile memory
known as CMOS RAM. These tests are to ensure that your
system is properly configured to recognize the devices such as
memory, FDD, HDD, etc.
Usually, you may need to perform setup due to the following
circumstances:
Ÿ Adding or removing devices to or from the system, such as
FDD, HDD, adapter cards, or memory
Ÿ Changing the type of video display
Ÿ Setting the built-in clock/calendar to the correct time and/or
date
Ÿ Enabling or disabling special features such as power
management functions, system passwords, etc.
Ÿ Setting or resetting configuration data if these were
accidentally lost or if the on-board battery was replaced.
BIOS Setup
3-2 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
Entering System Setup
When you turn on your system, the following message is shown
while your system is executing POST:
Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP
In order to enter Setup Utility, you have to press <DEL> key fast
enough before it starts up the operating system.
If you are not able to enter the Setup Utility through this, reboot
your computer and repeat the above procedure.
If the computer detects discrepancies between your CMOS
data and actual system configuration, it will prompt you with an
error message and request you to run setup. Just the same,
you can enter setup by pressing <DEL> key.
The following screen appears upon entering Setup Utility:
You can use up and down arrow keys to move to the desired
option, then press <Enter> on that option to select it or to open
its sub-menu. Press <ESC> to return to the previous menu or
to exit setup utility.
Standard CMOS Setup 3-3
If you want to modify the option for an item, you have to select
that item and press <PgUp> or <PgDn> key. The options for an
item will be shown either at the bottom of the screen, or at the
right column of the screen.
To change the color of text and background of your screen
display, press <F2> or <F3>.
Standard CMOS Setup
Standard CMOS setup allows you to set the system date and
time; to specify floppy disk drives installed in your system; to
indicate up to four IDE type storage devices (HDDs or CD-ROM
drive); to enable or disable virus protection; and to know the
base and extended memory size. When this option is selected,
the following appears on screen:
to let the BIOS detect the mode.

Change User Password
Change Supervisor Password
Passwords prevent unauthorized use of your computer. There
are two levels of security provided by your system, that is,
supervisor and user.
If "Password Check" item in the "Advanced CMOS Setup" is set
to "Always", you shall need your user password before you are
able to access your system. If it is set to "Supervisor", you shall
need supervisor password if configuration changes are to be
made. However, note that you need to set your supervisor
password first before setting your user password.
To enter new password, change a password or disable a
password, choose "Change User Password" or "Change
Supervisor Password" from the main menu.
To enter a new password, you will be required to type in that
password twice (for confirmation purposes) before the system
will accept that password. Your system accepts passwords
that contain maximum of six characters. When entering the
password, "*" appears in place of the characters you typed. If
password (supervisor) is successfully installed, the system
displays the message below:
New supervisor password installed, press any key to continue
If you want to change an existing password, system will prompt
you to enter the old password, then enter the new password
twice. The same message appears on screen when password
installation is successful.
If you want to disable or clear a password, just press <Enter>
key when you are prompted to type in new password. The
following message (for supervisor password) is displayed:
Supervisor password disabled, press any key to continue
3-20 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
Note that if you disabled the supervisor password, user
password is automatically disabled, too.
Wrong password entered provides the following message:
Incorrect password, press any key to continue
If you forgot your password, you have to clear CMOS data and
reconfigure the system.
Change Language Setting
This item is intended for users to select the type of language
characters displayed on screen. Currently, only "English" is the
available option.
Auto Configuration with Optimal
Settings
Auto Configuration with Fail Safe
Settings
Two sets of default values were permanently stored in your
system allowing it to load these automatically if there are invalid
CMOS data. If you want to load one of these, you can select it
from the main menu.
Optimal settings are best-case values that would optimize
system performance. If CMOS data are corrupt, system will
load these settings automatically. Fail safe settings offer the
most stable settings but are far from optimal system
performance. Use this option as a diagnostic aid if the system is
behaving erratically.
When one of these items was selected from the main menu,
you will be prompted to confirm your selection by entering "Y" for
yes and "N" for no.

When you are finished with the modifications and would like to
quit setup, press <ESC> key until the following dialog box
appears on screen:
Type "Y" to save all changes made into CMOS RAM before
leaving Setup utility. Your system will then reboot to reflect the
modifications made.
If you do not want to quit setup yet, type "N".
Exit Without Saving
If you would like to restore the original contents of CMOS data
and disregard current changes made, choose this item from the
main menu and type "Y" if prompted with:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? N
Your system will exit Setup Utility and reboot.
Type "N" if you would like to continue with your setup operations.
