CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Essential Handling Precautions
IMPORTANT. Read this page before unpacking your motherboard!
• Power Supply
Be careful! Always ensure that the computer is disconnected from the power supply when
working on the motherboard and its components.
• Static
Static electricity may cause damage to the delicate integrated circuit chips on your motherboard.
Before handling the motherboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no
static electric charge in your body. To avoid this risk, please observe these simple precautions
while handling the motherboard and other computer components:
1. If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap. This fits around your wrist and is connected to
a natural earth ground.
2. Touch a grounded or anti-static surface, or a metal fixture such as a pipe or the chassis of
your system, before touching the motherboard.
3. When you have removed the motherboard from its anti-static packaging, try to hold it only
by the edges, without touching any components.
4. Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards, and modules with the
golden fingers (gold-colored connectors) which plug into the expansion slots.
5. It is safest to handle system components only by their mounting brackets.
6. Keep components which are not connected to the system in the anti-static packaging
whenever possible.
These precautions help to reduce the risk of static build-up and ensure any static discharge is
harmless to your equipment.
••
• Battery Replacement
••
The battery which holds the system settings memory on your motherboard should not
require replacement for at least five years, and probably much longer. In picture 2.2, it is
located near the bottom right hand corner.
Page 6
2 INTRODUCTION
Please replace your battery only with the same type, or a similar type recommended by the
manufacturer. If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of a short circuit or explosion.
Used batteries should disposed of according to the manufacturers instructions.
••
• Electric Screwdrivers
••
To reduce the risk of damage to the motherboard due to excessive torque, avoid setting
electric screwdrivers above 7.5 kg/cm.
1.2 Checklist: Hardware Required for Setup

2.3 CPU (Central Processing Unit) Installation
So far you have familiarized yourself with the handling precautions, checked you have all of
the necessary hardware for building your system, inspected the motherboard package contents
and looked at the layout of the motherboard. This chapter will take you step by step through
the process of installing the different hardware devices onto it.
Caution
1. Remember to always make sure the system power is off before installing or removing
any devices.
2. Dont forget the static electricity precautions.
3. Be careful ! Inserting hardware onto your motherboard incorrectly can damage it.
The motherboard has a ZIF Socket 370 which houses the CPU. A fan is necessary for the
CPU to prevent overheating. If there is no fan on it, please purchase one before you turn on
your system.
WARNING! Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the processors
passive heatsink. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and
damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if
necessary.
Please follow the steps below to install the CPU:
Step1:
To install the 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 in the correct direction as shown below. The picture below is for
reference only. You should have a CPU fan to 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 sockets lever while holding down the CPU.

Step2:
Next, according to the CPU type you install, set JP15 to short pin1 & pin2 for Intel
®
Celeron
TM
and Pentium ® III FC-PGA series CPU, or set JP15 to short pin2 & pin3 for CYRIX Joshua
series CPU. Connect the CPUs fan cable to the CPU-FAN connector indicated on the diagram
below. Ensure that the cable is connected correctly! It will be obvious which way it fits.

2.7 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1-pin IDE)
This motherboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 (primary channel)
and IDE2 (secondary channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices, making a total of
four devices.
Connect your Hard Disk (the main one if you are using more than one) to the Master connector
(at the end of the cable) and connect it to the IDE1 (see important note below). If your HDD
supports Ultra DMA/66, you must use an 80-wire cable, otherwise the HDD wont be able to
reach this speed.
If you intend to operate two IDE devices from the same channel, one device must be set to
master mode, the other to slave mode. A Hard Disk, CD ROM or other IDE device can
have either setting, depending on devices jumper. Please refer to the devices manual for
more information.
NOTE:
The Connectors must be attached to the IDE channels the right way round. Make
sure that the red stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint and could
also be a dotted line) is the nearest to PIN 1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown
in the picture below).

The IrDA connector can be configured to support a wireless infrared module. With this module
and application software such as Laplink or Win95 Direct Cable Connection, users can transfer
files to or from laptops (notebooks), PDAs and printers. You must also configure the setting
through UART Mode Select in the Integrated Peripherals (please refer to page 39) to
select IrDA. Connect the Standard IR (SIR) device to the onboard SIR connector according
to the pin definitions. An optional Consumer Infrared (CIR) set connects to the CIR and SIR
connectors simultaneously for both wireless transmitting and remote control functions through
one external infrared module.

2.16 FWH Lock Jumper (JP6)
This jumper controls the Firmware Hub (FWH) locking function. When set to LOCK, it prevents
programming or block erase to the top block of FWH. There are 8 blocks of addressable
space controlled by the FWH. The top block (block 7, also called Boot Block) stores some
critical codes. To guard against accidents (such as a virus, program bug etc.), we recommend
that you lock this block. Even if other blocks were to be erased, you could still recover your
system easily by following the 2 steps below:
1. Reboot with DOS (95/98) system boot floppy disk.
2. Reflash BIOS according to section 5.3, Step 5 (Page 61).

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 to be lost.
If that happens, please set up your configuration parameters again after replacing the battery.
Please refer to Section 1.1, Essential Handling Precautions (Page 1).
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 Test (POST). During
the POST process, press the [Del] key, and you can enter the Award BIOS configuration
system. The following screen will appear.
In the Award BIOS system, you can use the arrows (
press the [Enter] key 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

30 BIOS SETUP
• IDE HDD Auto-Detection : Detect the HDD on this channel. If the detection is
successful, it fills the remaining fields on this menu.
• IDE Primary / Secondary Master / Slave : We recommand that you select type AUTO
for all drives. The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications during POST
(Power On Self Test) while the system boots. You can also choose Manual to set
the specifications by yourself. As to None, it means there is no device installed on
this IDE channel.
• Access Mode : Normal, LBA, Large, or Auto.
- Normal : Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors supported are 1024,
16, and 63 respectively.
-LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the IDE controller transorms
the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical
block address. This will significantly improve data transfer rates for drives with
more than 1024 cylinders.
- Large : For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders.
- Auto : The BIOS automatically determines the optimal access mode.
• Capacity : Disk drive capacity. Note that this size is slighty greater than the size of
formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.
• Cylinder : Number of cylinders
• Head : Number of heads
Page 35

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, including high resolution.
•
Halt On
During the Power On Self Test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware
error. You can set the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up
process. The followings are the selections.
- All Errors : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal errors, POST stops and prompts you to
take corrective action.
- No Errors : POST does not stop for any error.
- All, But Keyboard : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal errors except keyboard, POST
stops and prompts you to take corrective action.
Page 36
32 BIOS SETUP
- 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.
3.4 Advanced BIOS Features
This Advanced BIOS Features option allows you to improve your system performance and
set up system features according to your preference.
•
Virus Warning
When this function is enabled, you will 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 execute an anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects the
boot sector only, 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.
Page 37
BIOS SETUP 33
• CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system
memory). CPUs from 486-type and up contain internal cache memory. 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.
• CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
Select Enabled to make sure the data is accurate.
• Quick Power On Self Test
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the Power On Self Test
(POST). The Quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable
Quick POST. Its better to find a problem during POST than to lose data during your work.
• First / Second / Third / Other Boot Device
The original IBM PCs load the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk). So, IBM
PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive A,
and then on drive C (hard disk). However, the BIOS attempts to load the operating system
from the devices in the sequence selected in these fields. In addition to the traditional
drives A (Floppy) and C (HDD-0), options include HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, and
CD-ROM; plus a SCSI hard drive, a LS/ZIP drive and a LAN drive. If your boot
device is not included in the list, you can set the Boot Other Device field to Enabled,
and let the system detect the drive automatically.
• 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
When you select Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether
they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720KB,
1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.
Page 38
34 BIOS SETUP
• 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 instead of controlling
cursor operations.
• Gate A20 Option
Choose Fast (default) or Normal. Fast allows RAM access above 1MB to use the fast
Gate A20 line.
•
Typematic Rate Setting
When this function is disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic
Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in
your system. When this function is enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic
delay.
•
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 Delay 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, you can select whether the password is required while the
system boots, or only when you enter Setup.
•
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
Select OS2 only if you are running OS/2 operating system with more than 64 MB of RAM
on your system.
•
Report No FDD For WIN 95
Select Yes to release IRQ6 when there is no floppy disk drive, for compatibility with WIN
95 logo certification.
•
Delay For HDD (Secs)
Generally, you can set this field as 0. But for some old Hard Disk Drivers, you may need
to increase the delay time for BIOS to detect the right type of them.
Page 39
BIOS SETUP 35
3.5 Advanced Chipset Features
This option will change the values of the chipset registers and the system setting will alter.
Do not change any values if you are unfamiliar with the chipset.
•
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
This controls the SDRAM performance: default is 3 clocks. If your SDRAM DIMM
specification is 2 CAS latency, change 3 to 2 for better performance.
•
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras / Trc
Select the number of SDRAM clocks used per access cycle.
•
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This controls the latency between SDRAM active command and the read/write command.
Leave it on the default setting.
•
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to SDRAM. Leave it on
the default setting.
•
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS. This action can increase system
performance.
•
Video BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS. This action can increase system
performance.

36 BIOS SETUP
•
