2.3 CPU Installation

The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU taht came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor/s heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

The install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as show. The picture is for reference only; you should have a CPU fan that will cover the face of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the socket/s lever while holding down the CPU.

NOTE : Set the bus frequency and multiple for your Socket 370 processor.

BIOS SETUP

CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP

3.1 BIOS Setup

Award BIOS has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM, so it can retain the Setup information when the power is turned off. When the battery of CMOS fails, it will cause the data lost. When it happens, you should set up your configuration parameters again after replacing the battery.

3.2 The Main Menu

As you turn on (or reboot) the system, the BIOS is immediately activated. It will read the system configuration information, and check the system through Power On Self T est ( POST ). During the POST process, press the [DEL] key, and you can enter the Award BIOS configuration system.

¯¯

®®

In the Award BIOS System, you can use the arrows ( the Enter to enter the sub-menu. The following keys help you navigate in Setup:

Esc Main Menu: Quit and not save changes into CMOS RAM.

Other pages: Exit current page and return to Main Menu. PgUp Increase the numeric value or make changes. PgDn Decrease the numeric value or make changes. + Increase the numeric value or make changes.

- Decrease the numeric value or make changes.

Page 20

BIOS SETUP

· INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS

I/O subsystems that depend on the integrated peripherals controller in your system.

· SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD

Change, set, or disable a password. In some BIOS versions that allow separate user and supervisor passwords, only the supervisor password permits access to Setup. The user password generally allows only power-on access.

· IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION

Automatically detect and configure IDE hard disk parameters.

· SAVE & EXIT SETUP

Save settings in nonvolatile CMOS RAM and exit Setup.

· EXIT WITHOUT SAVING

Abandon all changes and exit Setup.

3.3 Standard CMOS Setup

· Date (mm:dd:yy) / Time (hh:mm:ss)

Highlight the items and use PageUp/PageDown to change the value of Date/Time.

· Primary Master/ Primary Slave/ Secondary Master/ Secondary Slave

This mainboard can support four IDE devices. We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives. The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications during POST, every time the system boots. If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are also available:

Page 21

1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammed values for drive type 1 through 45.

2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.

3. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup.

Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:

* TYPE : The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each defined drive type

has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as type USER.

* SIZE : Disk drive capacity (approximately). Note that this size is usually slightly greater

BIOS SETUP

than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.

* CYLS : Number of cylinders * HEAD : Number of heads * PRECOMP : Write precompensation cylinder * LANDZ : Landing zone * SECTOR : Number of sectors * MODE : AUTO, NORMAL, LARGE, or LBA

- AUTO : The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.

- NORMAL : Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors supported are 1024,

16, and 63, respectively.

- LARGE : For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders.

- LBA (Logical Block Addressing) : During drive access, the IDE controller transforms

the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Page 22

BIOS SETUP

Drive A / Drive B

Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in the computer.

- None : No diskette drive installed

- 360K, 5.25 in : 5-1/4 inch PC-type standard drive; 360 kilobyte capacity

- 2.88M, 3.5 in : 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 2.88 megabyte capacity

Video

Select the type of primary video subsystem in your computer. The BIOS usually detects the correct video type automatically. The BIOS supports a secondary video subsystem, but do not select it in this Setup.

- EGA/VGA : Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For EGA, VGA, SEGA,

SVGA or PGA monitor adapters.

- CGA 40 : Color Graphics Adapter, powers up in 40-column mode.

- CGA 80 : Color Graphics Adapter, powers up in 80-column mode.

- MONO : Monochrome adapter, includes high resolution monochrome adapters.

Halt On

During the power-on self-test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error . You can tell the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process. The following are the selections.

- No Errors : POST does not stop for any error.

- All Errors : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST stops and prompts you to takecorrective action.

- All, But Keyboard: If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error except keyboard, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.

- All, But Diskette : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error except floppy disk drive, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.

- All, But Disk /Key: If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error except floppy disk drive or keyboard, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.

BIOS SETUP

3.4 BIOS Features Setup

This BIOS FEA TURES SETUP” option allows you to improve your system performance and set up some system features according to your preference.

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 anti-virus 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 first disable the virus warning.

· CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory for even faster access by the CPU. The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache memory.

Page 24

BIOS SETUP

· CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

Select L2 Cache ECC Checking Enabled to make sure the data accuracy.

· Quick Power On Self Test

Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.

· Boot Sequence

The original IBM PCs load the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk), so IBM PCcompatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However , the BIOS now offers 11 different boot sequence options. In addition to the traditional drives A and C, options include IDE hard drives D, E, and F; plus a SCSI hard drive,a LS/ZIP drive and a CD-ROM drive.

· Swap Floppy Drive

This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting Enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.

· Boot Up Floppy Seek

Disable ¡÷ Default Enable ¡÷ Enable Option Boot Up Floppy Seek.

· Boot Up NumLock Status

Toggle between On and Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers nstead of controlling cursor operations.

· Gate A20 Option

Choose Fast (default) or Normal. Fast allows RAM access above 1MB using the fast gate A20 line.

· Memory Parity/ECC Check

This item can define the memory with Parity or ECC function.

Typematic Rate Setting

When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and T ypematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system.When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay.

Page 25

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at which character repeats) when you hold down a key of 6, 8, 10,12, 15, 20, 24 or 30 characters per second.

Typematic Delay (Msec)

When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay before key strokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.

Security Option

If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the system boots, or only when you enter Setup.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

This function is used to prevent conflict when a MPEG card or some capture cards use the same palette address. Enable this to make the cards work normally.

BIOS SETUP

OS Select for DRAM > 64MB

Select OS2 only if you are running OS/2 operating system with greater than 64 MB of RAM on your system.

HDD S.M.A.R.T capability

S.M.A.R.T. ( Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting ) If your hard disk supports this function, select Enabled.

REPORT NO FDD FOR WIN95

Select Y es to report when there is no floppy disk drive under win95 operating system

Video BIOS Shadow

Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called firmware. The Award BIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS, video BIOS, and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion peripherals, for example, a SCSI adapter. Shadowing copies firmware from ROM into system RAM, where the CPU can

Page 26

BIOS SETUP

read it through the 64-bit DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed must be read by the system through the 8-bit or 16-bit X-bus. Shadowing improves the performance of the system BIOS and similar ROM firmware for expansion peripherals, but it also reduces the amount of high memory (640 KB to 1 MB) available for loading device drivers, etc. Enable shadowing into each section of memory separately. Many system designers hardwire shadowing of the system BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option.Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF. The remaining areas shown on the BIOS Features Setup screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware. If an expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to know the address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM.

3.5 Chipset Features Setup

This option will change the values of the chipset registers and the system setting will alter. Do not change any values if you are not familiar with the chipset.

Bank 0/1,2/3,4/5 DRAM Timing

The DRAM timing of Bank 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, in this field is set by the system board manufacturer, depending on whether the board has fast paged DRAMs or EDO (extended data output) DRAMs. The Choice: Normal, Medium, Fast, Turbo, SDRAM 10ns, SDRAM 8ns.

Page 27
